I’ve found CloudFlare tunnels to be really useful. You can restrict who can have access to your apps outside your nextwork. You can also leave it completely open if you want.

My setup is running NPM and I can’t complain, but I’ll look into caddy as I’ve seen it mentioned a lot.

I saw it mentioned here, I likely won’t change on my setup until something breaks though. 😂

I didn’t know Lemmy could run on arm architecture. Is your installation with docker?

Yeah I get that. I have mine running behind Cloudflare where they proxy the dns on their own.

I ended up using their nginx configuration instead of NPM. I didn’t want to start messing with that. If ever I reinstall I may attempt it.

Thanks for sharing. The official installation documentation is a little out of date and I had issues too setting up the docker installation. Figured it out in the end but not after a lot of head scratching and testing.

My critical files and folders are synced from my mas to my desktop using syncthing. From there I use backblaze to do a full desktop backup nightly.

My Nas is in raid 5, but that’s technically not a backup.

Very interesting. Thanks for the follow up.

Agreed, but they could always setup a bypass rule.

Was going to suggest CloudFlare as well. At the very least just setup your DNS with there nameservers and benefit from CloudFlare proxies on the IP addresses.

But tunnels is pretty sweet.

Got the same issue. Everything was setup properly. SPF, dkim, dmarc was all good. Server IP wasn’t in any blocklists. But my messages would still fall in spam with Gmail.

Ended up setting sendgrid as a relay and all is good now.

Out of curiosity, what is anonaddy used for? I looked briefly on their site and it appears to setup email aliases. You can do that in mailcow though.

Is there anything else that it allows you to do?

Kind of both. His server has a mirror of the community. When he comments it gets saved on his server and the his server communicates with the original server. In turn the original server also communicates his comment with other federated servers.

I’m with ovh dedicated. I just gave up on trying to fix the issue.

I don’t remember mailcow having a list of recommended hosters. I’ll go check that out!

I had a similar problem but just used nginx as the proxy from their installation guide.

What I found out is that the lemmy container needed to be exposed to an external network, but from the docker-compose file it was limited to an internal network only (named lemmyinternal). I ended up adding the lemmyexternalproxy network to the lemmy container as well and that fixed my issue.

Been using mailcow too. Pretty solid setup. Gmail doesn’t play nice with spam though even though SPF, dkim, and dmarc are properly setup. I ended up having to relay through sendgrid to ensure emails for delivered.

Still don’t regret it though.

I did the exact same thing. Ended up looking up the more popular communities on the bigger instances and searched for them on mine to index them.

I wish there was an easier way, but for now there isn’t.
