I’m playing around with my own instance of Lemmy but I keep getting a “websocket connection failed” error in my console. I’m having a really hard time understanding how to set up nginx for websockets - I’m more used to Apache and not familiar with WS at all. Is there documentation hiding somewhere that will help me set up my proxy forwarding properly?

EDIT: Solved! Check out my solution here: https://lemmy.world/comment/141648. Thanks everyone!

    It’s turns out, my issue was that I had nginx on both the host and Docker container, so the host wasn’t forwarding the websocket requests like this. I just removed the host nginx and configured the Docker conf to look at port 80 and it worked!
