Awesome! A separate nginx container is fine, so if it's working I'd probably leave it. I'll look through and see if there's anything I missed in my comment though for brevity.

That whole room is amazing. I used that pic as a Zoom background for a while lol

That's awesome! I love his Helm chart. It's the most impressive Helm library I've ever seen. I maintain a bunch of charts and I exclusively use his library chart :)

I just mentioned in a response to @[email protected], but I feel like deploying a separate nginx is probably cleaner, I just didn't want another SPOF that I could break at some point in the future.

Hmm I'm not sure! That code snippet should only affect routing conditionally. When you added the configuration snippet, did your ingress logs show the requests to / going to the frontend or backend?

An nginx container behind ingress seems cleaner, I just didn't want to add another point that I could possibly break lol

I use Plex with Plexamp and love it other than the forced online account, which is minor enough in my opinion that it's been hard to justify looking for an alternative. What did you move to?

Up to 400MB after two days here. I took a look at the code and it looks like Lemmy keeps all ActivityPub JSON for 6 months. It would be nice if it was possible to shorten that.

I'm still happy that I'm hosting my own instance, but I hope this thing doesn't get too big!

Yeah Porkbun + Cloudflare is a solid combo. I'm not sure how they do it, but Porkbun is consistently cheaper than other registrars while still having solid service.

I also have a couple of domains in Google Domains since they provide wildcard email forwarding

+1 for Borg! I use Borgmatic to backup files and databases to BorgBase. It costs me $80/yr for 1TB of backups which I think is sensible. I also selfhost an instance of Healthchecks.io for monitoring.

Yep I'm still working on a helm chart. Currently, each service is deployed with the bjw-s app-template helm chart, but I'd like to combine it all into a single chart.

The hardest part was getting ingress-nginx to pass ActivityPub requests to the backend, but we settled on a hack that seems to work well. We had to add the following configuration snippet to the frontend's ingress annotations:

nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/configuration-snippet: |
  if ($http_accept = "application/activity+json") {
    set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
  }
  if ($http_accept = "application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"") {
    set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
  }
  if ($request_method = POST) {
    set $proxy_upstream_name "lemmy-lemmy-8536";
  }

The value of the variable is $NAMESPACE-$SERVICE-$PORT.
I tested this pretty thoroughly and haven't been able to break it so far, but please let me know if anybody has a better solution!
