I’ve actually had pretty good success with ChatGPT when I go in expecting it to hallucinate a significant chunk of what it spits back at me. I like to think of it as a way to help process my own ideas. If I ask questions with at least a base understanding of the topic, I can then take whatever garbage it gives me and go off and find real solutions. The key is to not trust it whole cloth to give you the right answer, but to give you some nuggets that set you on the right path.

I think I’ve basically turned ChatGPT into my rubber duck.

So...it's working now? I haven't touched anything yet, but I just checked my instance again and it works perfectly fine on desktop now. It always worked through Voyager, so I was able to let people know there was an issue. If it comes back I'll try some of these suggestions to find a more permanent fix.

Meaning I just wait a bit and retry later?

Upgraded to 0.18.5, which now gives me this error:

lemmy-lemmy-ui-1  | API error: FetchError: request to http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site?auth=AUTH_KEY failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED IP_ADDRESS:8536

I created a gist with my compose file: https://gist.github.com/osiriswrecks/26a875576d3bbcf11923d7715ac15e6e. It should be stripped of all private info. I tried changing the version from 0.17.3 to 0.18.0 and the server returns a gateway error after restarting.

So looking at this again now, am I taking that whole block and adding it to the container's nginx.conf? If so, does that mean I have to change what port it's currently listening to (because there's already a rule in the file for port 80)?

There's a comment in that server rule that says "this is the port inside docker" and a comment immediately after that says "this is facing the public web", which confuses me.

The one meant for the Docker container or the one on the host?

I think this is where my lack of experience with Docker is showing.

I spun up a DO droplet and installed nginx, Docker CE, and Docker Compose. Then I went through the instructions on the page you linked to and it set it up just fine but when I went to my droplets IP address it wouldn't connect. I had to add a config file that pointed traffic coming into the droplet on port 80 to redirect to the Docker container instead. Am I overcomplicating it?

I seem to be having a lot of lag at the moment, and my post was created twice so I'm just going to delete the other one and start from here...

So I have this set up per the instructions. My instance is on a Digital Ocean instance, and I'm using nginx on the host to point to localhost:1235, but that's about all that conf file is doing. Is there something else I need to do?
