I just spun up Lemmy on my Kubernetes cluster with nginx-unprivileged and ingress-nginx. All is well so far! I’m thinking about posting the Kustomization manifests and continuing to maintain and publish OCI’s per version release of Lemmy.
Yep I'm still working on a helm chart. Currently, each service is deployed with the bjw-s app-template helm chart, but I'd like to combine it all into a single chart.
The hardest part was getting ingress-nginx to pass ActivityPub requests to the backend, but we settled on a hack that seems to work well. We had to add the following configuration snippet to the frontend's ingress annotations:
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
if ($http_accept = "application/activity+json") {
set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
}
if ($http_accept = "application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"") {
set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
}
if ($request_method = POST) {
set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
}
The value of the variable is $NAMESPACE-$SERVICE-$PORT.
I tested this pretty thoroughly and haven't been able to break it so far, but please let me know if anybody has a better solution!
That's awesome! I love his Helm chart. It's the most impressive Helm library I've ever seen. I maintain a bunch of charts and I exclusively use his library chart :)
I just mentioned in a response to @seang96@exploding-heads.com, but I feel like deploying a separate nginx is probably cleaner, I just didn't want another SPOF that I could break at some point in the future.
