Lemmy Support

I understand this isn't supported.

I've been trying to confangle this myself but not having much luck, feels like I'm missing some critical info on how to configure docker-compose.yml and nginx.conf. I've tried a few iterations now but here's what I thought would be close. These are the only two files I've edited thus far, I'm using 0.16.2 for my 2nd front end so I can tell when I'm using it. I can view localhost:1236 fine but not localhost:1237 which gives me 502 bad gateway error, favicon still appears in tab though.

I'm thinking I need to open a separate port on lemmy to config another upstream entry in my nginx.conf? In prod the goal would be to have each frontend under a different subdomain for a research project I have in mind.
