overview for saint

from the log it seems that lemmy cannot reach https://midwest.social/ - if you have more such operation timed outs - probably there is some networking issue with outgoing requests - maybe you have some kind of firewall? i can reach your instance from other direction: https://group.lt/c/bulwarkob@lemmy.bulwarkob.com

probably the easiest way to setup lemmy and another front facing reverse proxy is to use nginx that comes with lemmy on another port and setup simple reverse proxying with NPM to it. i myself using caddy for reverse proxying, using this config: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/caddy.html

okay, i don't know how npm works, could you check this tutorial to see if you have set it up similarly?

also - check docker-compose.yml settings to remove port for lemmy host and i think you need to set use https to true as it is provided by npm

try to look here for the config file:

include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
	include /data/nginx/default_host/*.conf;
	include /data/nginx/proxy_host/*.conf;
	include /data/nginx/redirection_host/*.conf;
	include /data/nginx/dead_host/*.conf;
	include /data/nginx/temp/*.conf;

btw, i think port in lemmy.bulwarkob.com:1236 in docker-compose is not needed for you, should be just lemmy.bulwarkob.com

yeah, nginx config for lemmy is not very straighforward. you need to mimic this:

worker_processes  1;
events {
    worker_connections  1024;
}
http {
    upstream lemmy {
        server "lemmy:8536";
    }
    upstream lemmy-ui {
        server "lemmy-ui:1234";
    }
    server {
      listen       1236;
      server_name  localhost;

      # frontend
      location / {
        set $proxpass "http://lemmy-ui";
        if ($http_accept = "application/activity+json") {
          set $proxpass "http://lemmy";
        }
        if ($http_accept = "application/ldr+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"") {
          set $proxpass "http://lemmy";
        }
        if ($request_method = POST) {
          set $proxpass "http://lemmy";
        }
        proxy_pass $proxpass;

        rewrite ^(.+)/+$ $1 permanent;

        # Send actual client IP upstream
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      }

      # backend
      location ~ ^/(api|pictrs|feeds|nodeinfo|.well-known) {
        proxy_pass "http://lemmy";
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

        # Add IP forwarding headers
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
      }
    }
}
