Accessing Lemmy Server with internal IP

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 22 points – 1 years ago

For those of you who host their own Lemmy instance internally, are you able to log in to your Lemmy account after connecting with the local IP address?

I get SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1of the JSON data.

EDIT: I should mention I use OPNSense and when I visit the domain, I'm taken to the router's login page.

I use a reverse proxy so I still use a DNS name to access internally.

This is the way

I believe some things are populated by your hostname in the lemmy configs so straight IP may break a few things.

I had the same issue as OP when setting up my instance. Properly setting the domain name in all the config files fixed it for me. So I am assuming you are right.

When you say internally, do you mean behind a NAT, or something to that effect?

I mean from the same LAN.

You’ll probably want to do it by dns name

It worked on 0.17.4, but on 0.18.0 I get the error you get
