I have a lemmy-ui instance working correctly, fresh ansible install. I haven’t configured it yet, but it’s up and running and test posts work fine.

I’m mostly interested in lemmyBB, so I installed that according to “Alongside existing Lemmy instance (native)” install instructions.

Everything seems to work fine during install, systemctl status lemmy_bb.service shows:

    Here’s the config I use for the lemmy backend: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/prod/nginx.conf here’s my lemmy.hjson https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/docker/prod/lemmy.hjson

    like I said, aside from domain name and required variables, everything is default, running a fresh vps. Ansible install for Lemmy, “install along other instance” instructions for lemmyBB.

    No messing with ports. Fresh debian 10, debian 11, ubuntu 22, all with the same result:

    Lemmy-UI works fine, lemmyBB returns a 502.

      Are you using docker at all? If yes, can you share the output of docker ps?

      Also, can you share your /etc/systemd/system/lemmy_bb.service file?

                  I am not really sure what is causing this. Sorry about this. It could be because of incompatible versions of lemmybb and lemmy being used. Maybe @nutomic@lemmy.ml can help with this because it goes beyond my knowledge of docker. You can check lemmy logs to see if it is receiving request from lemmybb. Apart from it I am not sure what to do.

                    Thank you for trying. If you or anyone have a VPS for sale with lemmybb pre-installed, I’m in the market!

                  Looks like you are running the dev branch of lemmybb which requires Lemmy 0.17 (not released yet). For now you need to run lemmybb release 0.1.2.

                    I did a git reset to the release tag, recompiled, and success!! Thank you @nutomic and @moist-leninist

                    After I play with the color scheme a bit, I’ll be introducing some folks to the fediverse.
