I am new to the world of self hosting a site, however I do currently have a web application thing successfully running on a digital ocean droplet with a free domain name.

I would like to attempt to additionally host a lemmy instance and was planning on following this guide: https://github.com/ubergeek77/Lemmy-Easy-Deploy?tab=readme-ov-file

Ideally I would like both of these things to run on the same ubuntu droplet. In my mind this should technically be possible with using docker to give each thing their own little corner being a good way to approach it.

However, I think the easy deploy lemmy uses caddy and the other thing I have users nginx, can both of these things work alongside each other fine if they have their own ports?

Is this a good way of approaching this or should I just make the lemmy instance its own droplet and go from there? Should I use something other than the lemmy easy deploy?

Do you have any other advice?

Thanks, if this is the wrong community for this can someone point me to the right one, I’m relatively new to lemmy.

    Ive finally got a VM box running to spin up some test instances of Yunohost and applications for it.

      To get the Yunohost installer to work you have to either use a specific version of node or delete the package-lock.json file. Some of the stuff in the Cytube config wasn’t setup by yunohost yet and there was a permissions issue with the certs. I was also going to try it again when I have more time in a few days.

      edit:

      I’ve gotten it to work twice with Yunohost now and I think I know what’s missing:

      Port 8443 needs to be opened in the firewall

      In the cytube config: the port in the http section needs to be changed, the https block needs to be uncommented, the root domain name needs to be changed off of localhost, under io socket the domain needs to be changed to https, and the cert paths need to be added under the https socket block (etc/yunohost/certs).

      The last thing is the node app/cytube needs access to the certs. It gives an access error without it and I don’t know how to do this properly. My friend asked in the yunohost element and I guess this a weird/bad thing, but there is a fix.
