microhive.social is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.

This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

Site description
As you have probably already guessed: this is just another personal fediverse instance.

Needs some tags.
And this isn't visible so nobody that doesn't get it right at activitypub can see it.
I fear even the tags won't help for that. Let's see...

      Seems this solves the 499 ngnix issue.
      A bit caching if big payloads.

        Yes, panphy is maxed out at exactly 40 messages.
        I've opend bug reports for that on both projects but I guess as long as no dev used these both Software, there won't be much development in that direction.
        I'm using fedilab basically. It works with that...

            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 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 mastodonapi or via the web. (/x/ and /y/), oh and I added the nodeinfo2 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 actaully 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 old disk cache. (under debian see /etc/default/apache-htcacheclean or else the relevant systemd service or whatever)
            Then add to the snac 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>
            This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the /s/, /x/ and /y/ Path, as well as for /$username/nodeinfo20, utilizing the mod_expires to generate the appropriate cache headers (for lazy ones like me), In this case caching it for 1 day.
            Further reading and all options 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 defaults to set no-cache on that location and the modexpires will honor that if we don't override it. I set it to the same Cache-Control value as modexpores woud. (mod_expires will additionally calculate the date and put that in the expiresheader. (hence the name I guess 😀 )
