-#+title: Self-Hosting Voyager - A Lemmy Web Client
-#+date: 2023-06-30
-#+description: A guide to self-hosting the Voyager application on your own server.
-#+filetags: :selfhosting:
-
-* Installation Guide
-[[https://github.com/aeharding/voyager][Voyager]] is a mobile-first
-Lemmy web client, based on iOS design standards. It follows very closely
-to Apollo's design.
-
-This post is a guide showing how I was able to build and launch my own
-instance of Voyager via Docker Compose.
-
-** Clone the Repository
-Start by cloning the repository and entering it:
-
-#+begin_src sh
-git clone https://github.com/aeharding/voyager
-cd voyager
-#+end_src
-
-** Build the Image
-With this repository, you can build the image yourself without any
-further configuration. When complete, it'll give you the image ID for
-you to run.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo docker build .
-# Successfully built 5f00723cb5be
-#+end_src
-
-With the image ID above, you can run the container and pass the
-requested port =5314= through or use a custom port, if you wish.
-
-You can also set the =CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS= environment variable if you
-want to add to the default suggested login servers. This must be set
-with a comma separated list of suggested servers. The first instance in
-the list will be the default view for logged-out users.
-
-I will be using a =docker-compose.yml= file to run this container,
-instead of a =docker run= command.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-nano docker-compose.yml
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src conf
-version: "2"
-services:
- voyager:
- image: 5f00723cb5be
- restart: always
- ports:
- - "<custom_port>:5314"
- environment:
- - CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.dbzer0.com,lemmy.world,lemmy.ml,beehaw.org
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo docker-compose up -d
-#+end_src
-
-The web app will now be available at the following address:
-=<machine_ip>:<custom_port>=. If you are running it on your local
-device, try =localhost:<custom_port>=.
-
-** Reverse Proxy
-If you want to visit this app via an external URL or domain name, you'll
-need to set up a reverse proxy. The example below uses Nginx as a
-reverse proxy.
-
-Simply create the configuration file, paste the contents below, save the
-file, symlink the file, and restart Nginx.
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/voyager
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src conf
-server {
- if ($host ~ ^[^.]+\.example\.com$) {
- return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
- }
-
- listen [::]:80;
- listen 80;
- server_name voyager.example.com;
- return 404;
-}
-
-server {
- listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
- listen 443 ssl http2;
- server_name voyager.example.com;
- access_log /var/log/nginx/voyager.access.log;
- error_log /var/log/nginx/voyager.error.log;
-
- location / {
- proxy_http_version 1.1;
- proxy_pass http://localhost:5314;
- proxy_set_header Host $host;
- }
-
- ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
- ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
- include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
- ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
-}
-#+end_src
-
-#+begin_src sh
-sudo ln sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/voyager /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/voyager
-sudo systemctl restart nginx.service
-#+end_src
-
-The site will now be available at the =server_name= you specified above!
-
-You can visit my instance at
-[[https://voyager.cleberg.net][voyager.cleberg.net]] for an example.
