Hi, does anybody have an idea what the reason could be? I installed a lemmy instance on a VPS using the docker images. Beforehand I installed nginx and got a letsencrypt - certificate (which seems to have worked). I downloaded the nginx.conf file from github and made the configurations, also in the lemmy.config and docker-compose.yml files. However, I'm unsure if there's anything else I should look at. Any tips are welcome :)

I'm pretty sure that error indicates nginx isn't receiving a response from the upstream server (Lemmy and Lemmy-UI). So, either your upstream server isn't responding to requests or nginx is misconfigured with the wrong upstream server 🤔
