Hi,

Can someone please recommend a current/valid Wallabag install either
through Docker or a Linux VM? I've gone through and followed a few but
I seem to get stuck at various points..

On [this guys](https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-wallabag-on-
ubuntu-22-04/) post I get as far as 'Step 7 - Install SSL' but Let's
Encrypt doesn't work as the example URL is not valid. It looks like
tutorial is using internal host names but Let's Encrypt is going to
the internet so it won't generate the SSL certificate.

Some other posters have suggested just going to to the Git page
however there's so many variables with this service and it's not clear
what to use in each case and how NGINX is supposed to integrate. My
use case would probably just be using Tailscale to access my services
externally.

Any ideas?

You're asking 2 different things.

1) Wallabag docker installation is quite straight-forward.

    version: "3"

networks:
    rohan-proxy:
        external: true

services:
  wallabag:
    image: wallabag/wallabag:latest
    container_name: wallabag
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Berlin
      - SYMFONY__ENV__SERVER_NAME="read.example.com"
      - SYMFONY__ENV__DOMAIN_NAME=https://read.example.com
      - SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_HOST=mail.example.com
      - SYMFONY__ENV__FROM_EMAIL="wallabag@example.com"
      - SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_USER=""
      - SYMFONY__ENV__MAILER_PASSWORD=""
      - SYMFONY__ENV__FOSUSER_REGISTRATION=false
      - SYMFONY__ENV__FOSUSER_CONFIRMATION=false
      - SYMFONY__ENV__TWOFACTOR_AUTH=true
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
    volumes:
      - /opt/data/wallabag/data:/var/www/wallabag/data
      - /opt/data/wallabag/images:/var/www/wallabag/web/assets/images

    cap_add:
    - NET_ADMIN
    networks:
      - rohan-proxy

I'm happy to report that I've now got Wallabag working. I aborted the
VM method I had linked my post and have instead got [this
one](https://sterba.dev/posts/wallabag/) working through Portainer. I
used the docker script as written then used nignx Proxy Manager
through another Portainer container.

Once I had set up the proxy I got this CORS issue where some fonts or
stylesheets were not loading properly. To resolve this I added a
custom configuration on nginx and we were good to go.
