sudo nano ./nginx/joplin-server.conf

Dont Forget to change the # to the right number

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name 192.168.0.#;  # Replace with the IP address of your Docker host

    error_log /var/log/nginx/joplin-server.error;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://192.168.0.#:8080;  # This remains the same (proxying to Joplin container)
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name 192.168.0.#;  # Replace with the IP address of your Docker host

    error_log /var/log/nginx/joplin-server.error;

        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Build .env file to store info

sudo nano .env

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=Your-Password-here
POSTGRES_USER=joplin-user
POSTGRES_DB=joplindb
APP_BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.#:80

POSTGRES_PASSWORD=Your-Password-here
POSTGRES_USER=joplin-user
POSTGRES_DB=joplindb
APP_BASE_URL=http://192.168.0.#:80

Set Permissions on the `.env` File

sudo chmod 600 .env
sudo chown ve:ve .env # Or the specific user that needs access
