Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

You need a reverse proxy like nginx or traefik. Your mastodon server is using the web ports. Lemmy also wants to use the same ports. Obviously the can't both use them.
The solution is to let neither use the ports and set them up on some other ports.
The reverse proxy is then set up as your main "web server". It will then look at every request coming in and based on the domain name or url requested redirect (or rather forward or proxy) the request to the correct service.. mastadon or Lemmy.
I run dozens of services on the same server. And use traefik to sit in front and manage it all.
I have reverse proxy configured for Mastodo using Nginx. It's the Lemmy Easy Deploy script trying to bind all traffic on port 443 where I run into problems.
Don't use that silly script. Easiest is to use the docker compose method and modify the compose file to remove the nginx container since you already have nginx. Then once you have lemmy's containers running, add config to nginx to point to the ports lemmy/lemmy ui listen on
Thanks for the tips! That sounds like a great approach. I'll give it a shot.
This worked great! Thanks again for the advice! When the from scratch install didn't work, multiple people suggested the easy deployment script. For my setup the Docker compose deployment was perfect and offered the opportunity for customization I needed. The easy deployment script does look pretty slick though if someone just wants a turnkey setup and wants to dedicate their whole box to it.
