I’d like to self-host my own Lemmy instance. My environment is comprised of a Fedora VM on a separate VLAN running in Proxmox. That VM runs docker, and exposes all my services to Cloudflare using a treafik reverse proxy.

I have found some posts in my googlings of folks that were able to get Lemmy to work inside Traefik. I have tried their docker-compose files, and ultimately came up short.

My question, has anyone been able to get this working? If so, how?

    It is pretty straight forward if you use the provided docker-compose file with the nginx internal proxy in it. Just add traefik as per usual to the internal port 8536 of the proxy container.

      This seems to be the easiest solution. Use the provided docker-compose file, then configure traefik to route requests to your lemmy domain to port 8536. How to do that depends on how you currently run traefik as there are multiple ways to configure it. Could be as simple as adding a label to the service named proxy in lemmy’s docker-compose file.
