Replace lemmy-ui

Hi,

I want to replace lemmy-ui with photon. How can I actually do this? Do I need to just install it using docker and reverse proxy to the port? Is there any docker compose method? Where can I set the environment variables?

TIA

Not helping you but for your information: https://github.com/Xyphyn/photon/discussions/142
- Thank you. I'm using docker though.
You should be able to just replace the lemmy-ui image with the photon image, but you'll need to set a few env variables

PUBLIC_INSTANCE_URL: the domain your Lemmy instance is accessed from. (like lemmy.world)

PUBLIC_INTERNAL_INSTANCE: the url and port for the internal server to access (eg lemmy:8536)

PUBLIC_SSR_ENABLED: enable this to allow server rendering which improves SEO

PUBLIC_MIGRATE_COOKIE: this will automatically migrate lemmy-ui logins to photon.
- Where do I have to set the env variables? On the docker compose file similar to lemmy-ui?
  
  Is everything alright here?
