These two files contain `{{ }}` braces for variables, such as passwords, and your domain.
Edit them before starting up lemmy for the first time.
The images will likely be: [dessalines/lemmy:VERSION](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy) and [dessalines/lemmy-ui:VERSION](https://hub.docker.com/r/dessalines/lemmy-ui)
```bash
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/docker-compose.yml
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/examples/config.hjson -O lemmy.hjson
# This file is necessary for lemmy's internal routing. No need to edit this file.

# Here's an optional nginx reverse proxy template, which you can place in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
# Alternatively, you can use any other web server such as caddy as a simple reverse proxy.
# Be sure to edit the {{ }} to match your domain and port.
# If you're using this, you will need to set up Let's Encrypt. See those instructions below.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf
# To optimize your database, add this file.
# You can input your system specs, using this tool: https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/examples/customPostgresql.conf
# Set correct permissions for pictrs folder
mkdir -p volumes/pictrs
sudo chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs
```
If you'd like further customization, have a look at the [config file](configuration.md) named `lemmy.hjson`, and adjust it accordingly.
## Database tweaks
To optimize your database, add this file.
You can input your system specs, using this tool: https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/examples/customPostgresql.conf`
## Folder permissions
Set the correct permissions for pictrs folder:
```bash
mkdir -p volumes/pictrs
sudo chown -R 991:991 volumes/pictrs
```
Finally, run:
`docker-compose up -d`
You can access the lemmy-ui at `http://localhost:{{ lemmy_port }}`
lemmy-ui is accessible on the server at `http://localhost:{{ lemmy_port }}`
## Reverse Proxy / Webserver
Here's an optional nginx reverse proxy template, which you can place in `/etc/nginx/sites-enabled`
Alternatively, you can use any other web server such as caddy as a simple reverse proxy.
Be sure to edit the `{{ }}` to match your domain and port.
If you're using this, you will need to set up Let's Encrypt. See those instructions below.
`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible/main/templates/nginx.conf`
If you've set up Let's Encrypt and your reverse proxy, you can go to `https://{{ domain }}`
### Let's Encrypt
## Let's Encrypt
You should also setup TLS, for example with [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/). [Here's a guide for setting up letsencrypt on Ubuntu](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04).
For federation to work, it is important that you do not change any headers that form part of the signature. This includes the `Host` header - you may need to refer to the documentation for your proxy server to pass through the `Host` header unmodified.
## Updating
# Updating
To update to the newest version, you can manually change the version in `docker-compose.yml`. Alternatively, fetch the latest version from our [lemmy-ansible](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ansible) repo:
