I’m trying to fix this annoying slowness when posting to larger communities. (Just try replying here…) I’ll be doing some restarts of the docker stack and nginx.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Edit: Well I’ve changed the nginx from running in a docker container to running on the host, but that hasn’t solved the posting slowness…
Macapps and formula1. Macapps so far has only commuted to the 48 hours, although I’d like to see them stay dark longer. Unsure off the top of my head about formula1, although they do have a discord channel that I’ve jumped on, but won’t be the same. Like jumping in the F1 subreddit around race weekends.
thanks for everything!
Hey. From my own experience - Nginx is awesome and fast when it is working, but the more you want from it, the more difficult it becomes.
Give Caddy a try. This reverse proxy has always been excellent for me. It has HTTP3 (QUIC) support, automatic ACME and overall excellent configuration in terms of simplicity and user friendliness.
Caddy is not a good choice if you need TCP/UDP proxy. It’s only HTTP/HTTPS proxy.
Someone said this about Caddy “it injects advertising headers into your responses”. Is this true? I don’t know anything about caddy but that doesn’t sound too good lo (to be fair it could be misinformation).
Never heard about it. This is open source project, free to use.
In case you want to understand why it’s good, check out Caddyfile example. Just specify something like this:
example.com {
reverse_proxy backend:1234
}
And that’s it! It automatically binds on 0.0.0.0:80 only for redirects to 0.0.0.0:443 + using ACME adds TLS, all behinds the scenes.
Add 1 more line to my given example and it adds compreasion.
I’ve been using it for my self-hosted stuff for prob 1-2 years and it kept working flawlessly all the time. Very satisfied.
Sounds very cool. Does running with that file also handle the SSL certificate and validation automatically? Or are there extra steps?
Thank you so much for this amazing instance!
Keep up the good work!
I joined this instance and also mastodon.social, first time using the Fediverse and as excited as confused lol
