Hello, I’m trying to host my own kbin instance. Mainly for fun and to see if it will work but also because that kind of is the point of federation.

I managed to get it up and running and I can search for other magazines and they turn up in the search but are completely empty and do not fill up with content after some hours. Also wenn I click subscribe I get an error 500. I followed the admin guide and I think the problem is my reverse proxy but I don’t know how to get around it. Does anyone have experience or maybe knows some place where I can direct some questions?

Thanks!

    Not related to your initial issue… but a quick question as it appears you might have already figured out a lot regarding hosting your own instance.

    Do you know if you can lock it down so that only you have an account on the instance? I’d like to run my own but I’d want membership locked so I just use the instance to federate content.
