I already wrote about caching here.
Now I extended what I cache a bit.
This was because after enabling the option to proxy media, 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/ ).
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)
This is the updated setup:
Enable the relevant modules:

a2enmod expires cache cache_disk

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)
Then add this to the httpd Virtualhost config:

<LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0">
CacheEnable disk
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=86400, public" "expr=%{REQUEST_STATUS} == 200"
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresDefault "access plus 86400 seconds"
</LocationMatch>

The Header that I set here, on the condition of Status code 200, is needed for the path /y/, because snac set no-cache on that location and mod_expires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as mod_expires would. (I use mod_expires because it will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expires header. (hence the name I guess 😀 )

Είναι φτιαγμένη με #snac2, στο @info@totsipaki.net , μετατρέποντας έτσι το fediverse σε κεντρική μου ιστοσελίδα.

please boost ❤️

number of files generated by snac is huge, but i don't care that much anymore.

$ du -hd0 /var/snac
133M	/var/snac
$ find /var/snac | wc -l
   35603

sometimes i use snac command line, but mostly snac web ui and nothing else.

someday maybe i'll try to build some minimalist #activitypub server, but looks like a lot of work :)

OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".

Hab mir gestern Abend mal https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2 aufgesetzt. Eine recht schlanker ActivityPub Server, der optional auch die Mastodon-API unterstützt.

Installation war relativ straight-forward, da man sich nicht um irgendwelche Datenbanken kümmern muss.

Das Web-Frontend ist einerseits spartanisch, aber es gibt ein paar hübsche custom CSS Files zur Auswahl.
Zugriff per Handy-App (Tusky) funktioniert auch ohne Probleme.
Das Web-Frontend hat allerdings eine bessere Thread-Ansicht.

Was irgendwie noch nicht funktioniert, ist das Anzeigen der Parent-Posts, bzw. die Antworten zu einem Thread werden auch nicht alle angezeigt. 🤔

Was spannend werden könnte, ist die Möglichkeit der Webhooks pro Account. Das lädt zum Basteln ein. 😁

i understand you need to generate a new keypair and then sign your new public key with old one and propagate to the network... how do you practically do that?

yay! looking forward to updating my #snac2 server tonight

@grunfink@comam.es, thanks again for snac ❤️

Which also explains the strange AP endpoints that don't help us seeing context.
It is explained in this part a bit down the website here:

Hi @grunfink@comam.es
Does #snac2 do these shenanigans?
https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/http_signatures/

Edit: it seems it should work?

First I thought it was some rejection of my instance since I changed server, but since I've noticed it happens even with instances I hadn't seen before.
