Hi! I want to self host lemmy on my homelab. I have a lot of services installed but only a couple of them are exposed on the internet using subpaths like host.com/plex or host.com/nextcloud.
I want to do the same with lemmy, so host.com/lemmy. Does lemmy support this particular URL configuration? Thank you!
From a security point of view it is not a good idea to host multiple web applications in sub directories on the same hostname. With such a configuration, every application sees all cookies from all other applications. This also means that you can have collisions of cookie names between applications if the names are not unique.
So if one application would get compromised, it could easily steal all your sessions for all other applications.
Oh, I didn’t think about that!
