Replace lemmy-ui (buddyverse.one)

Hi,

I want to replace lemmy-ui with photon. How can I actually do this? Do I need to just install it using docker and reverse proxy to the port? Is there any docker compose method? Where can I set the environment variables?

TIA

You should be able to just replace the lemmy-ui image with the photon image, but you'll need to set a few env variables

PUBLIC_INSTANCE_URL: the domain your Lemmy instance is accessed from. (like lemmy.world)

PUBLIC_INTERNAL_INSTANCE: the url and port for the internal server to access (eg lemmy:8536)

PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED: enable this to allow server rendering which improves SEO

PUBLIC_MIGRATE_COOKIE: this will automatically migrate lemmy-ui logins to photon.

Where do I have to set the env variables? On the docker compose file similar to lemmy-ui?

Is everything alright here?

Getting error 502. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

502 from photon itself or nginx? I think you need to change photon at the top to lemmy-ui

From nginx. I've commented out lemmy-ui before running the compose file.
