Actually he needs a developer to disable federation. It’s on be l by default and to my knowledge there is no way to disable it.

Yes NPM is for basic reverse proxying, so one URL to one server. If you wanted to scale and load balance across multiple servers you’d need regular nginx with a text config file since you literally can’t configure a second or third server.

And I’d still find that easier than Traefik, but maybe that’s just because I’ve been using Apache2 and nginx for like a decade at this point so it’s what I know.

I host my instance exactly like this with Nginx Proxy Manager. Here’s my config:

• Block Common Exploits and Websockets Support - on
• Add a custom location with the following settings:
  • proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
  • proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
  • proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $remote_addr;
  • real_ip_header X-Real-IP;
  • real_ip_recursive on;
• for SSL turn on HTTP/2 Support

I had to add the custom config so that I would get the IP address of the clients and federated servers. Otherwise I was hitting rate limits on the Lemmy server.
