MenelAfter seeing Improving snac Performance with Nginx Proxy Cache from <a href="https://snac.it-notes.dragas.net/itnotes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@itnotes@snac.it-notes.dragas.net</a> via <a href="https://snac.it-notes.dragas.net/itnotes/p/1738139676.258050" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://snac.it-notes.dragas.net/itnotes/p/1738139676.258050</a> <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/01/29/improving-snac-performance-with-nginx-proxy-cache/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/01/29/improving-snac-performance-with-nginx-proxy-cache/</a> I decided to prematurely optimize and adjust this for my apache2 httpd server in debian where I run snac. I've never done any caching etc before so it was a nice adventure to learn something new. The documentation helped and in the end it wasn't very hard. I learned a bit about some http headers and regex on the way too. Basically it works like this: Enable the relevant modules: ´a2enmod expires cache cache_disk´ Be sure "htcacheclean" is running to clean up old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service) Then add to the snac virtualhost config: <pre> CacheRoot /var/cache/apache2/mod_cache_disk CacheQuickHandler off CacheLock on <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=optional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Optional</a> while testing stuff; CacheDetailHeader on <a href="https://snikket.de/social?t=my" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#My</a> Instance ist not at the root, but under "/social"; so this needs to be adapted: <LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/s"> CacheEnable disk ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault "access plus 30 days" </LocationMatch> </pre>This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the /s/ Path, same as the original ngnix tutorial, Utilizing the mod_expires to generate the appropriate cache headers (for lazy ones like me), In this case caching it for 30 days.

And also I can't get the markdown Code formatting working apparently. well.

brianFor anyone who has snac deployed with httpd on OpenBSD (especially on a resource-restricted system) and is running into lag, errors, or service crashes, I highly recommend using nginx instead of httpd. Nginx--in addition to simply being faster in general--provides easy access to media caching (see <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/users/stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@stefano@bsd.cafe</a>'s <a href="https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/01/29/improving-snac-performance-with-nginx-proxy-cache/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">excellent article</a>) and robust <a href="https://thelinuxcode.com/nginx-rate-limiting-for-beginners-an-in-depth-2800-word-guide/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rate-limiting/traffic throttling controls</a>. Switching and properly tuning my nginx config seems to be (mostly) shielding my little VPS from being overwhelmed when someone with thousands of followers boosts one of my posts. <a href="https://farty.toot.monster/fedi?t=snac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#snac</a> <a href="https://farty.toot.monster/fedi?t=fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://farty.toot.monster/fedi?t=activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#activitypub</a> <a href="https://farty.toot.monster/fedi?t=openbsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#openbsd</a> <a href="https://farty.toot.monster/fedi?t=nginx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nginx</a> <a href="https://farty.toot.monster/fedi?t=httpd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#httpd</a>
