<p>Link at end, but for anyone looking for a new, fully managed, blog provider. Micro One launched some time while I was offline!

<p>Myself and my good friend <span class="h-card"><a href="https://gofer.social/@bumble" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bumble</span></a></span> (who runs a variety of server types on the fediverse), are joining forces to offer <a href="/tags/hosting/" rel="tag">#hosting</a> for <a href="/tags/gotosocial/" rel="tag">#GoToSocial</a> servers.</p><p>It's early days but we'd be keen to hear from anyone who wants to try running their own GoToSocial but doesn't have the skill, want, or equipment to run their own server.</p><p>The aim is to simply charge for running costs for the server. We will not take any costs from this (unless we end up with hundreds of them!). We anticipate a basic instance for one user (or a small handful) will be 5 euros per month and the charge is month to month. You pay each month in advance, and can cancel any time.</p><p>All you need is a domain name (or a sub-domain of your existing domain). We can help with this, or help you buy one for a few dollars/euros. We will handle all admin of the server.</p><p>Initially we are only looking for a few people to participate.

Updated Version of the apache http caching setup for snac, including proxy media<br><br>I already wrote about caching <a href="https://snikket.de/social/menel/p/1738788742.236526" rel="nofollow">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">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>a2enmod expires cache cache_disk<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><p><LocationMatch "^/social/[^/]+/[xys]/|^/social/nodeinfo_2_0"><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></LocationMatch><br></p>This will use the disk cache to cache everything under the $username/s/, /x/ and /y/ paths, as well as for the /nodeinfo_2_0 path, utilizing mod_expires 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" class="ellipsis" title="httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/caching.html"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/cach</span><span class="invisible">ing.html</span></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 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.

I've been noodling on the idea of starting a non-profit hosting company within the US in a similar fashion that Codeberg operates its Forgejo hosting.
