[Question] hosting lemmy on ubuntu server - firewall configuration - eviltoast

Hi, this is a follow-up on the 502 question earlier, which I think I got a step closer to solving. However, if I try to connect to my lemmy instance now, it results in a time out. Now, I have set up the ufw firewall to allow nginx http - do I need to allow anything else to get to connect? Or is my timeout error something else?

    How’s your firewall set up? Some custom firewall rules can end up interfering with Docker’s networking, that’s worth checking that. It uses iptables to control what can go in and out of the bridge and if the host can access it. If you have a blanket drop policy that overrides Docker’s your Docker networking can break.
