Re: Federation issues
-
@julian Please find attached a summary of my nginx settings.
The back-end installation of NodeBB was done manually in a home directory, while the reverse proxy is part of on automated server solution called Webinoly. It is typically used for self-hosting WordPress, but not only. It worked pretty well before the advent of Federation capabilities, so I wasn't bothered. I just uncommented some proxy headers in /etc/nginx/apps.d/forum.n66.pl-proxy.conf and added "X-NginX-Proxy true" as per documentation. Mongodb (7.0) is provided from a deb repository as is nodejs.
I'm not sure why the web root directory as mentioned in /etc/nginx/sites-available/forum.n66.pl does not exist (root /var/www/forum.n66.pl/htdocs). I don't even have /var/www/forum.n66.pl/.
Thank you for helping me.@Jakub-Urbanowicz whatever your nginx config, if it was working before, it should not require any changes to support federation.
I would revert back to a working config if you're seeing issues with regular usage of NodeBB. Otherwise if the site is loading fine then tweaking nginx (probably) won't fix anything and the problem likely lies elsewhere.
I will look into your configs tomorrow.
