It has zswap and a swapfile of about 8 gb, and it gets fully utilized

oh wow thanks, ill see if that fixes it! weird that it doesnt get killed by OOM killer on my server

hi, apologies for the incredibly late response, i was on vacation. So as per the setup guide of lemmy. i am using two nginx instances. one i a lemmy internal nginx, running in a container which uses the nginx-internal config file. This exposes lemmy on port 8085. i then want to use a reverse proxy so that i can access the website on lemmy.emphisia.nl for that i use a second nginx running on the host machine. this one is the reverse proxy for all services i have running on the machine. (nextcloud, onlyoffice, bitmanager and lemmy)

I actually need the website to be hosted at 8085, as the nginx reverse proxy is listening at that adres, and it has already bound to port 80 and 443. When i open internal port 80 to 8085 and set the lemmy port to 8086 in the compose file. when i then visit the site i get a redirect loop. (im probably doing something horribly wrong). Also lemmy keeps panicking

thank you, the config now runs, unfortunately i am now getting a bad gateway when visiting the website. Also in the logs i see two errors that catch my eye thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to load settings file, see documentation (https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html): LemmyError { message: None, inner: Is a directory (os error 21), context: SpanTrace [] }', crates/utils/src/settings/mod.rs:20:20 and caddy_1 | {"level":"error","ts":1688725909.314515,"logger":"http.acme_client","msg":"challenge failed","identifier":"lemmy.emphisia.nl","challenge_type":"http-01","problem":{"type":"","title":"","detail":"","instance":"","subproblems":[]}}

Also according to portainer, no ports are open on the caddy server. I have never used caddy. Thank you btw for trying to help me :))

thank you very much for your config file, however on pasting it and running it, i get the error

ERROR: The Compose file './docker-compose.yml' is invalid because:
Unsupported config option for services.caddy: 'lemmy'

according to portainer, no other docker containers are using ports, so i don’t know what ports to set them as. I assume they are communicating over an internal network and the nginx is the only open external port.

I am using two nginx servers because one nginx server is used by lemmy to give me one port to access. And the other one i use to set up my reverse proxy so that i can host more than one service on my server.

I dont know why i have different versions of the ui and backend. I am just using the latest version avalible on the docker website.

My docker compose file looks like this and the lemmy config file looks like this i got this config from here because i was looking for a way to correctly set-up my email because de documentation about the config file is really bad. But when using the default config file (found here).

I am actually already running that config in the internal nginx, but i’ve never changed anything about it. what do i need to specify when they say “# this needs to map to the lemmy (server) docker service hostname” do they want the name of the docker container, and do they want the internal or external port?

is this one for the internal Lemmy nginx or the reverse proxy? edit: the name makes that quite clear

im using an nginx reverse proxy with the template provided by lemmy. Im using the docker install the website is lemmy.emphisia.nl
