404 /api/v3/user/login when logging in

Hello, I've been trying to host my own lemmy instance for a little while now but have yet to be successful.

I recently had my lemmy instance running but i could not find other communities, so i decided to remove everything and try again. Now however when i try to create an account or log in i get the error 404 for the file /api/v3/user/loginand nothing happens.

I've tried removing everything again and starting again but it is still not working

in the lemmy docker container i get the following error

edit: i just managed to log in, however the federation does not seem to be working. None show up in the communities tab and if i look for any communities i get no results and this in the log

  • 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).

    • Yeah, the config file on the documentation sucks. I had to poke through several discussions on /c/selfhosting to find a config that wasn't the extremely minimal one linked in the documentation. Your config.hjson is fine from what I can tell, although I'm not sure why you censored the hostname there as it's supposed to be lemmy.emphisia.nl and not anything confidential.

      Honestly, I don't have enough understanding of NGINX to debug its config, so I'll just share my docker-compose.yml for leddit.danmark.party which worked correctly and federated out of the box, with a few adjustments to match your deployment. Note that you'll have to tear down your existing deployment if you want to use this docker-compose.yml because they use the same ports.

      I should probably self-host my own pastebin
