Anyone hosting Lemmy and Mastodon on the same server? (lemmy.world)

I have Mastodon running on a VPS running Debian 11. Now I would like to add a Lemmy instance on the same server. I tried using the from scratch method from Lemmy documentation, but ran into errors that likely stemmed from minor version incompatibilities of the dependencies. I tried using the Lemmy easy deploy script but it wants to bind all traffic on port 443 for Lemmy which would break my Mastodon install. Has anyone managed to get Lemmy and Mastodon running on the same box, and if so, can you share any details of your setup?

I'm running both, via docker.

Here's the basic setup:

NGiNX is standard installation, using certbot to manage the SSL certificates for the domains. Setup is via Nginx virtual hosts (servers), separate for Lemmy and Mastodon. Lemmy and Mastodon run each in their Docker containers, with different listning ports on localhost.
