I’m playing around with my own instance of Lemmy but I keep getting a “websocket connection failed” error in my console. I’m having a really hard time understanding how to set up nginx for websockets - I’m more used to Apache and not familiar with WS at all. Is there documentation hiding somewhere that will help me set up my proxy forwarding properly?

    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.
