Need help getting domain to resolve over LAN in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[โ€“] marsara9@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If it was a certificate issue I'd expect youd just get an error from your browser saying the cert is invalid or expired.

If I had to guess though you're running into a nat reflection issue: https://nordvpn.com/cybersecurity/glossary/nat-loopback/

Read up on that. But you may need to provide different DNS entries if you're inside or outside your LAN or add a NAT hairpin rule to your router. But this is only applicable if you're exposing the same service to the WWW.

Some other things to try though:

  • Have you tried just pinging the address? Is the DNS resolution returning the address you expect?
  • Whats in your nginx logs? Do you see anything when you try and connect?
  • Within your nginx container can you ping your service directly? Is something blocking nginx from accessing the site?
A new way to search for communities in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

Because of changes in how the lemmy API works I had to abandon the project awhile back.

The GitHub page is still up and if anyone wants to take over they're more than welcome. But the project would need a complete rewrite in order to function and even then there'd still be limitations.

A new way to search for communities (www.search-lemmy.com)
 

I keep see people complaining about not being able to find active communities that match their interests. So I've added a new feature to https://www.search-lemmy.com/ that allows you to search posts for a particular topic and then it tells you which communities have the most posts matching your search query.

And assuming that you've set your home instance correctly, those links will even open up in your home instance, so that you can subscribe directly to them.

For example, if you search for 'linux' (https://www.search-lemmy.com/find-communities/results?query=linux&page=1) it gives you a link to each community, tells you which instance it's on and how many matches it found for your query.

All of the same filters that you can use on the normal search can be used here as well. So if you just want to find the best community that mentions linux on lemmy.world (https://www.search-lemmy.com/find-communities/results?query=linux+instance%3Alemmy.world&page=1), you can filter by just that instance. Click on the Search Tips button to see a list of all of the available filters.

P.S. I'm aware of https://lemmyverse.net/ etc... and while those are great as well, this allows you to search to see what people are actually talking about on the various communities.

Again, if you have any feature requests or find any bugs, PLEASE reach out or ideally go to my github (https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search) and log a bug there.

Announcing a new Search Engine for Lemmy (www.search-lemmy.com)

I shared bits and pieces of this before, but it's officially up and running now: https://www.search-lemmy.com/

This is an enhanced search engine for Lemmy. With a few primary goals:

  • You can choose a preferred instance. After choosing what your primary instance is, and performing a search ALL links will open in that instance.
  • This aims to be a replacement for using site:reddit.com in Google, but just for the fediverse.
  • You can filter the search results by:
    • Instance -- This will filter the results to only show communities that belong to a particular instance. Just type something like instance:lemmy.wrold or instance:https://lemmy.world/. This is separate from your preferred instance, such that you can search for posts on lemmy.world while still opening them on lemmy.ml.
    • Community -- You can refine the search by a specific community. You use the same syntax that you'd use here community:[!fediverse@lemmy.world](/c/fediverse@lemmy.world).
    • Author -- Similar to the above you can also filter by a specific author such as: author:@marsara9@lemmy.world.
  • The entire thing is open-source. You can view the code and even host your own instance... See more details here: https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search.

NOTE: This only supports Lemmy instances for now. Other fediverse type instances may be in the future depending on how this works out.

I've been working on this over just the last few weeks, so it hasn't had a chance to crawl much of the fediverse yet. For now it only supports lemmy.world and lemmy.ml but other preferred-instances will come online as time goes by.

If anyone finds any bugs, and I'm sure you will, or if anyone has any suggestions PLEASE raise an issue on GitHub for me to track. Lastly, if anyone wants to help contribute please feel free to reach out.

NOTE TO SERVER ADMINS: You can prevent your site from being crawled by adding lemmy-search to your robots.txt for the user-agent.
