Might be because the average Linux user is way more aware of how useful a crash report can be and therefore actually submitted them. At least most Linux users I know actually read error/ crash messages and not just call someone saying there was some pop-up, I just clicked ok and the game was gone.

The first time federation is a bit slow in the beginning.

Since I don’t know any better place to ask and I also setup my instance on Hetzner maybe some of you could provide me with some input regarding federation. I’m able to search new communities; the way I’m doing it right now is by searching for their handler (this !comunnityName@InstanceName thing) on my instance. For some reason if I haven’t searched for the community before no search results show up but I can switch to the community all list and see the community there. After subscribing to a community everything works nicely, I see posts, comments everything. But my main question is, if there is a way to federate a server (e.g. lemmy.ml) in a way that I can just click on communities on my server and see every community on the federated servers without having to manually search them first?

This is something that I wasn’t able to grasp from reading the lemmy docs and also didn’t found a satisfying answer to when googleing.

By default they block ports 25 and 465 afaik you can request getting them unblocked after you paid your first invoice and your account is at least one month old. For some reason they aren’t blocking port 587 so you could connect to your mail server via that port if you don’t want to wait for the first month to be over using starttls and after a month switch to 465 with normal tls. And as @[email protected] already mentioned you shouldn’t use port 25 since you’d be sending your mails unencrypted.

I got it solved, I’ll write a better summary in a edit for the post above.

Regarding your question, **Error logs: ** There was no error msg in the backend logs on the (got it solved before digging more into the nginx, front end or what ever logs). Imho the request anyway never reached the server so there should have been no msg. But since I’m earning my money as a dev and not as a (dev)ops, and just operate such things on a hobby base I’m not 100% sure. Also the browser just showed lots of status 301 and using ping I just got timeouts.

What do I mean by proxies? Yeah I mean these Cloudflare caching and whatsoever magic proxy thing that also hides your ip and exposes some Cloudflare IP instead. Makes it e.g. impossible to just do smth like ssh root@your.domain.

CNAME Yes it’s against RFC to CNAME an APEX domain, you kinda can do this in Cloudflares UI but it’s not actually doing it under hood. It uses CNAME flattening which causes Cloudflare to directly return the IP you’re pointing to.

For the final solution see above, will post an edit in a few minutes.

Your instance seems to be running on a subdomain. So it seems that is not just something that is specific to running an instance without using a subdomain.

Tried turning ssl on/ off; always the same result.

EDIT: See the edit in the post; most probably it actually helped.

I’ll look into it as soon as I’m back at my computer. The playbook contains certbot and requests its own ssl certificate and I also use certbot and cloudflare for my homeserver, so I should be able to easily compare settings there. Haven’t thought of it maybe being an SSL issue since the usual your page is unsafe and so things didn’t pop up.

Thank you so much, I didn’t want to set it up myself on my instance since I just started it yesterday and maybe need to migrate it to other servers and also don’t have a proper backup strategy in place yet.

In case you get it working it would be really cool if you cold post you config somewhere. Maybe the main dev could even integrated it in the docu at some point. I’m quite sure there are more people who set up there home servers using traefik and that there is an intersection between them and people who consider starting a lemmy instance.

E.g. I would really like to ditch the VPS I’m currently using for my instance and run it on my home server since there are free resources and I would have to spend the 5 euros for the VPS.

Do we already have a Lemmy community for LinkedInLunatics?

Not only presenting a solution that is impossible to build but telling the potential customers it’s already there and just needs small adjustments to fit their needs. YoU cAn Do It In OnE wEeK, rIgHt? JuSt AsK cHaTgPt

I have to admit I was a bit lazy and started with a new vm when setting up my instance earlier today but I found this thread in the traefik community where someone was asking question on how to setup their traefik config for Lemmy. It’s a bit old, last post is from spring of 2020 but it’s already traefik v2, so hopefully not much changed since then…

EDIT: By being lazy and starting with a new VM, I meant that I could just use the Ansible playbook and had it running in a few minutes.
