Update documentation and provide examples

[ne20002]

Looking at various discussions regarding problems with installing Friendica using the docker images I believe updating the documentation and providing out-of-the-box files for docker-compose may solve a lot of these problems.

Based on the different setups one may choose I suggest to provide how-tos and files necessary for:

• Friendica Apache Image (with Caddy Reverse Proxy)
• Friendica Apache Image (with Nginx Reverse Proxy)
• Friendica fpm Image with Caddy Web Server (and Caddy Reverse Proxy)
• Friendica fpm Image with Nginx Webserver (and Nginx Reverse Proxy)

@m33m33, do you think we shall also add Apache as Reverse Proxy?

I will also share my setup with an Nginx Reverse Proxy and the Friendica fpm image plus the owasp/modsecurity-crs:nginx replacing the web server.

I am currently thinking about enrolling as a documentation writter on Friendica wiki, to adapt this guide https://codeberg.org/m33/Friendica-caddy-docker-install/src/branch/main/README.md as what could be "Friendica fpm Image with Caddy Web Server (and Caddy Reverse Proxy)"

Would the team appreciate that ?

I don't think it is needed. Most if not all will be using either nginx, or Caddy or Traefik (these two are more like "native" solutions to dockerized deployments).

The team appreciates any help and contribution. ;)

I believe we shall start with what we already have. This would be your variant as described above (I also read the Friendica room on Matrix).
I suggest to have simple working examples as part of the documentation in this repo. This is where new people usually starts. A hint and link to a more detailed wiki can be added.

On one side I agree with you, seasoned admins will take a few exemples and shape friendica into their existing infrastructure.

On the other side, new admins, DIYers, selfhosters will try, fail, pass eventually.

I don't fully understand if a "Friendica fpm Image with Caddy Web Server (and Caddy Reverse Proxy)" basic page is being written right now. If not, I would happily take charge.

And of course, find a suitable way to reuse content from my guide as a side page as beginners guide to quickly setup a fully functional instance with minimum work.

If not, I would happily take charge.

I appreciate this.

I appreciate this effort; thank you, @ne20002. As one of those "new admins, DIYers, selfhosters" mentioned above, I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this Friendica and running again, so this documentation would go a long way for me.
