What to learn more about the #fediverse and #ActivityPub? This tutorial (https://fedify.dev/tutorial/microblog) from @fedify is a really good starter. It explains how to implement a really simple #federated server and see how communication exchange are done with AP.

Finally out a little #tutorial about running your own #fediverse instance on cheap shared hostings with @grunfink's #snac.

Just published a guide on setting up Snac on an Ubuntu VM using NGINX Proxy Manager. Snac is an incredibly lightweight #ActivityPub server. A true nom nom among fediverse platforms.
If you're curious about minimal fediverse instances, check it out:
Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media
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:
Further reading and all options are explained under https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html (and ff)
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 😀 )
