Might be because the average Linux user is way more aware of how useful a crash report can be and therefore actually submitted them. At least most Linux users I know actually read error/ crash messages and not just call someone saying there was some pop-up, I just clicked ok and the game was gone.

The way I learned Spring was basically by just being pushed into a Java project that was using it right after I finished uni. Tbh it was a bit overwhelming but I was able to slowly wrap my head around it in about a month or two. It was also the first "real" framework I ever used. Ever since then I started to just jump right into projects and try to grasp the basic concepts of the frameworks used, since they are mostly quite similar and try to expand my knowledge from there on. At least for me this worked well for NestJS, Flask, Django and somehow also for stuff like angular and Android development but there I had to put up with some formerly unknown concepts.

The first time federation is a bit slow in the beginning.

Since I don't know any better place to ask and I also setup my instance on Hetzner maybe some of you could provide me with some input regarding federation. I'm able to search new communities; the way I'm doing it right now is by searching for their handler (this !comunnityName@InstanceName thing) on my instance. For some reason if I haven't searched for the community before no search results show up but I can switch to the community all list and see the community there. After subscribing to a community everything works nicely, I see posts, comments everything. But my main question is, if there is a way to federate a server (e.g. lemmy.ml) in a way that I can just click on communities on my server and see every community on the federated servers without having to manually search them first?

This is something that I wasn't able to grasp from reading the lemmy docs and also didn't found a satisfying answer to when googleing.

By default they block ports 25 and 465 afaik you can request getting them unblocked after you paid your first invoice and your account is at least one month old. For some reason they aren't blocking port 587 so you could connect to your mail server via that port if you don't want to wait for the first month to be over using starttls and after a month switch to 465 with normal tls. And as @mrmanager@lemmy.today already mentioned you shouldn't use port 25 since you'd be sending your mails unencrypted.

That calls for a c/suicidebywords :D

Your instance seems to be running on a subdomain. So it seems that is not just something that is specific to running an instance without using a subdomain.

~~Tried turning ssl on/ off; always the same result.~~

EDIT: See the edit in the post; most probably it actually helped.

I'll look into it as soon as I'm back at my computer. The playbook contains certbot and requests its own ssl certificate and I also use certbot and cloudflare for my homeserver, so I should be able to easily compare settings there. Haven't thought of it maybe being an SSL issue since the usual your page is unsafe and so things didn't pop up.

Thank you so much, I didn't want to set it up myself on my instance since I just started it yesterday and maybe need to migrate it to other servers and also don't have a proper backup strategy in place yet.

 

Hi guys, would be happy to receive some input on my current problem. I spun up my own Lemmy instance yesterday using the ansible playbook on newly set up VPS with it's own IPv4. Since I also had an unused domain I choose to use it exclusively for Lemmy. I therefore set the domain in the hosts file to exactly that one. I created the follwing DNS entries in Cloudflare for it:

  • A Record with name www pointing towards the ip
  • A CName pointing the domain without subdomain towards the www.subdomain.de thing

Both without a activating their proxies. As soon as I'm activating their proxies my instances becomes unreachable and if I'm calling www.my-domain.de I'm seeing an Nginx error page. Is there a smart way anyone of you knows how I could setup my dns records in a way that I'm able to use Cloudflare proxies to kinda encapsulate my vps a bit more?

EDIT: I got it solved, first on, I was most probably an idiot when setting the SSL settings. I could be possible that I changed them for the wrong domain. So in the end I did two things. First on I changed the CNAME thing into another A record pointing directly towards the server ip. I suspect this was not the root cause. Because after changing the DNS settings I discovered that again the SSL settings were set to Flexible this is basically a setting where Cloudflare assumes you are somehow unable to get your own SSL certificate on your server and therefore only the traffic between the users browser and them is encrypted but the traffic towards your server is not. That was most probably the main reason since this should cause an infinite forwarding of Cloudflare trying http but my server was redirecting them to https (for more info see here). I set it to Full (strict) meaning now all the traffic is encrypted using my certificate.

After both changes it works now, and when pinging the url some random Cloudflare IP shows up and "my" ip is hidden.

Old DNS settings: Old DNS settings

New DNS settings: New DNS settings

EDIT 1: Changed the title from xyz (SOLVED) to [SOLVED] xyz

In case you get it working it would be really cool if you cold post you config somewhere. Maybe the main dev could even integrated it in the docu at some point. I'm quite sure there are more people who set up there home servers using traefik and that there is an intersection between them and people who consider starting a lemmy instance.

E.g. I would really like to ditch the VPS I'm currently using for my instance and run it on my home server since there are free resources and I would have to spend the 5 euros for the VPS.

Worked on a project last year with one dev who was always super slow when having to debug even the simplest things. Turns out they didn't know debuggers; just print statements... That person had more then 5 years of exp and was sold as a senior dev. But apparently nobody ever really coached them after uni and they never picked it up themselves :|

Do we already have a Lemmy community for LinkedInLunatics?
