I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants to bind all traffic on port 443 for Lemmy which would break my Mastodon install. Has anyone managed to get Lemmy and Mastodon running on the same box, and if so, can you share any details of your setup?

    Here’s what I have for Pleroma.

    server {
    server_name social.immibis.com; # this is what matches the domain name
    root /var/www/social_html; # empty folder
    location / {
    proxy_pass http://localhost:4000;
    }

    # this block was from the pleroma documentation, I think. Mastodon and Lemmy might have their own recommendations. Upgrade is to enable proxying websockets. and the rest seems generally sensible for proxying.
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection “upgrade”;
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    client_max_body_size 16m;
    ignore_invalid_headers off;

    # when you run Certbot it will change this to 443, insert SSL configuration, and set up a redirect on port 80
    listen [::]:80;
    listen 80;
    }

      Thank you for sharing your config and advice! I appreciate it. I got it working along with ssl certs installed with certbot and all is well. Cheers!
