gyptazy<p>So, basically the platform you stopped to use increased the incoming traffic and even makes the half of the "Mastodon" traffic in the last days?

m0xEEDamn, I really like <a href="https://nosh0b10.m0xee.net?t=snac2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snac2</a> so far!<br>Its footprint is tiny —&nbsp;just a few megabytes, when idle, it uses like 0.3% CPU and 0.5% RAM on this old PowerPC G4 Mac Mini with only a gigabyte of RAM.<br>And almost no disk IO too! Especially compared to PostgreSQL, which Pleroma uses.<br>Right now it's running next to Pleroma, but while Pleroma gets overwhelmed and is on the verge of dying all the time —&nbsp;snac2 stands its ground like that Doom Slayer against the armies of Hell 😈<br><br>At the time it's an unfair comparison as my old instance is two years old and its discovery is way wider, dozens of instances chime in every minute. I have subscribed to relays with snac2 and so far it fares very well.<br>
Menel<b>Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media</b><br><br>I already wrote about caching <a href="https://snikket.de/social/menel/p/1738788742.236526" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>Now I extended what I cache a bit.<br>This was because after enabling the option to <a href="https://comam.es/snac-doc/snac.8.html#proxy_media" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">proxy media</a>, I've seen access to the file paths /x/ and /y/ in addition to the path were snac stores the media that I include in my own posts ( /s/ ).<br>There are two locations to proxy media, depending if you requests the media via the mastodon api or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2.0 path too, because I've noticed it was queried all the time by a lot of instances and it gives me pleasure to see something cached handed out in the access logs. 🙂 (I guess it is actually irrelevant for the system resources)<br>This is the updated setup:<br>Enable the relevant modules:<br><br><code>a2enmod expires cache cache_disk</code><br><br>Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up the old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)<br>Then add this to the httpd Virtualhost config:<br><br><pre>&lt;LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0"&gt;<br>CacheEnable disk<br>Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"<br>ExpiresActive On<br>ExpiresDefault "access plus 86400 seconds"<br>&lt;/LocationMatch&gt;<br></pre>This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the $username/s/, /x/ and /y/ paths, as well as for the <code>/nodeinfo_2_0</code> path, utilizing <code>mod_expires</code> to generate the appropriate cache headers (for lazy ones like me). In this case caching it for 1 day.<br>Further reading and all options are explained under <a href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html</a> (and ff)<br><br>The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac set <code>no-cache</code> on that location and <code>mod_expires</code> will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as <code>mod_expires</code> would. (I use <code>mod_expires</code> because it will additionally calculate the date and put that in the <code>expires</code> header. (hence the name I guess 😀 )<br><br><a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hosting</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=itnotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ITNotes</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=apache2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#apache2</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=httpd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#httpd</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=ownyourdata" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ownyourdata</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Server</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=snac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Snac</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=snac2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Snac2</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=tipsandtricks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tipsandtricks</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=tutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tutorial</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=caching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#caching</a><br>:xmpp:<br>

dharmikhello fellow <a href="https://linuxusers.in?t=snac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snac</a> users. toot.py is not currently compatible with <a href="https://linuxusers.in?t=snac2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snac2</a> so i am making snac.py which is terminal based client for snac. it works and you can even post from there. i have posted this post from snac.py. here's the link to the repo. feel free to try/contribute <a href="https://github.com/dhrm1k/snac.py" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/dhrm1k/snac.py</a><br>

Jeff Sikes<p>This weekend's exciting home lab experiments: installing Snac on a ProxMox VM and reading up on using a GoToSocial helper called slurp to import Pixelfed posts that were converted to a Mastodon archive format.
