Doesn’t that mean that docker containers use up much more resources since you’re installing numerous instances & versions of each program like PHP?
It seems like docker would be heavy on resources since it installs & runs everything (mysql, nginx, etc.) numerous times (once for each container), instead of once globally. Is that wrong?
Instead of setting up one nginx for multiple sites you run one nginx per site and have the settings for that as part of the site repository.
Doesn’t that require a lot of resources since you’re running (mysql, nginx, etc.) numerous times (once for each container), instead of once globally?
Or, per your comment below:
Since the base image is static, and config is per container, one image can be used to run multiple containers. So if you have a postgres image, you can run many containers on that image. And specify different config for each instance.
You’d only have two instances of postgres, for example, one for all docker containers and one global/server-wide? Still, that doubles the resources used no?

1·8 months agoI covered that in the OP. It requires coding ability for anything other than a simple blog.
I covered that in the links in the OP. It’s extremely limited. I didn’t find it useful.
Redline the cheapest option until it catches fire.
It’s an important business website that would have severe consequences if it went down during traffic spikes (which it does get).
Why are you worried about your site going down during traffic surge? Unless you’re running a critical service, there is no need to worry about this too much if it’s just your personal sites.
Because it’s an important business website that would have severe consequences if it went down during traffic spikes (which it does get).
With proper caching, your personal site can even tank traffics from reddit frontpage on a $5/mo vps.
Yeah, I’m using Cloudflare, and I saw that Wordpress has a built-in caching option, but I couldn’t find any info on how well that protects sites from traffic surges.
consider hosting it on platforms with autoscaling support such as netlify.
Yeah but I need an SSG with the same capabilities as Squarespace to do that, and as mentioned in the OP, that doesn’t seem to exist.
I’d recommend Statamic
I looked at the demo and it looks like a very simple text editor to make blogs.
Since you posted this into a self-hosting community…
I have two other websites hosted on a $5 Hetzner server (that counts as self-hosted right?). I’ve been considering adding a Wordpress, Grav, or static site to it. But as mentioned in the OP, I have to worry about the site going down if it gets a traffic surge, so I’m thinking it would be safer and similarly/more affordable to host a Wordpress site with Hostinger or GreenGeeks. Am I wrong?
Grab a Raspberry Pi, slap nginx proxy manager and ddclient into it, and point your domain to your home IP.
I’m not likely to do that, for multiple reasons.
It was a firewall issue. I disabled my firewall and it works.
Nginx is running in a container
I don’t think it is. On my other machine it’s running in the docker container, but not this one.
Using serverIP:5870 has the same result as using listmonk.mysite.com:5870. It loads a broken page https://i.stack.imgur.com/gIy4A.jpg with broken links. IE: the URLs are
http://localhost:9000/subscription/form.
Thanks, I checked out your link. I think my most recent comment below answers some of your questions. https://lemmy.world/comment/5586470
Are you able to access listmonk directly without the reverse proxy? What is the URL I. The browser when you do that?
Besides the info I put in the OP, I’m not sure what else you’re asking.
LAN IP address of the docker host
No idea what this is, so I looked it up https://www.howtogeek.com/devops/how-to-get-a-docker-containers-ip-address-from-the-host/ and ran
docker psthen put the container ID at the end of thisdocker inspect -f '{{range.NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' docker-container-ID. It output an IP address which I used forproxy_pass http://docker-IP:5870;, restarted nginx, and nothing seems to have changed.
Thanks! I was using 127.0.0.1 because that’s what other people were successfully using: https://github.com/knadh/listmonk/issues/1590#issuecomment-1812399067. I had tried variations of
proxy_pass http://app:5870;because I’m running listmonk successfully on another server usingproxy_pass http://app:9000;, but that is when nginx is running from inside the docker container:services: db: <<: *db-defaults container_name: listmonk_db volumes: - type: volume source: listmonk-data target: /var/lib/postgresql/data app: <<: *app-defaults container_name: listmonk_app depends_on: - db volumes: - ./config.toml:/listmonk/config.toml - ./listmonk/uploads:/listmonk/uploads nginx: image: nginx:mainline-alpine restart: unless-stopped ports: - "80:80" - "443:443" volumes: - ./data/nginx:/etc/nginx/conf.d - ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt - ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot networks: - listmonk depends_on: - app command: "/bin/sh -c 'while :; do sleep 6h & wait $${!}; nginx -s reload; done & nginx -g \"daemon off;\"'" certbot: image: certbot/certbot restart: unless-stopped container_name: certbot volumes: - ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt - ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot networks: - listmonk depends_on: - nginx entrypoint: "/bin/sh -c 'trap exit TERM; while :; do certbot renew; sleep 12h & wait $${!}; done;'"I forgot to try
proxy_pass http://listmonk_app:5870;though.

I tried some of the solutions here https://serverfault.com/questions/351212/nginx-redirects-to-port-8080-when-accessing-url-without-slash
proxy_set_header Host $host:$server_port;didn’t seem to change anything.I also tried
proxy_pass http://listmonk.example.com:5870/; proxy_redirect http://listmonk.example.com:5870/ http://listmonk.example.com/;Maybe this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30097334/nodejs-on-nginx-not-working-without-a-port-number-in-the-url is the answer, but I don’t understand it.
6·1 year agoIt’s decent after blocking all the fluff/low-quality communities. But it needs a way to follow threads & highlight new comments.
The main issue is that Lemmy lacks many basic features that are included in Reddit, either by default or via RES and Toolbox addons. I listed some in the OP and the OP link.
I chose Xenforo because it’s been around for a long time, is feature-rich, and the most polished/professional software.
I also wasn’t considering hosting my own Lemmy instance at the time, which I now recognize as a future possibility, if it continues to develop more basic features.
I ran into a similar problem with snapshots of a forum and email server – if there are scheduled emails when you take the snapshot they get sent out again if you create a new test server from the snapshot. And similarly for the forum.
I’m not sure what the solution is either. The emails are sent via an SMTP so it’s not as simple as disabling email (ports, firewall, etc.) on the new test server.
