I wish I could edit posts in @withknown in markdown rather than richtext editor.

Saw the link you posted ben about the redecentralize thing, I hate conferences but the pub conversation might be interesting. Unfortunately their email signup form is broken ;)

anyone here self-hosting Known?
#
cleverdevil
if so, I'd love to hear about people's deployment best practices.
#
cleverdevil
currently, I'm using a fairly vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 box with Apache.
#
cleverdevil
curious if anyone is doing anything different, or implementing something like Varnish for frontend cache.
#
benwerd
My own site is self-hosted (it predates withknown.com by quite some time)
#
benwerd
I'm on CentOS, but I've also used Ubuntu
#
benwerd
Apache for sure. I do run Squid on my box, but I'm not very happy with it.
#
mapkyca
cleverdevil: self hosted. Apache + Mongo on debian (predated any other db)
#
cleverdevil
I think I am going to fiddle around a bit with Varnish.
#
cleverdevil
99.9% of requests to most sites are reads, and I hate burning trees on every request :)
#
mapkyca
ya, I was behind squid, but i set that up before varnish + shifting over to https (and it's a pig to set up for https). Considering moving to php-fpm + varnish, but tbh I not hit a bottleneck just yet
#
cleverdevil
I am using https/http with apache
#
mapkyca
my posts don't exactly make it on to hacker news ;)
#
cleverdevil
but, I've had some issues with the SSL :/
#
cleverdevil
(webmentions not working, stuff breaking with brid.gy, etc.)
#
cleverdevil
that's an issue for another day :)
#
cleverdevil
I've got it working decently well enough.

#
mapkyca
ssl has been no problem for me thus far (and my known site is even SNI)
#
mapkyca
but it's a pig to set up front side cache for, since you've got to strip ssl in most cases
#
mapkyca
and squid + the current version of pound in the repo doesn't support SNI
#
mapkyca
so for now I'm just using straight mod php and apache with xcache
#
cleverdevil
I think I'll just leave http as the default.
#
cleverdevil
and cache for that.
#
cleverdevil
and simply use https for authenticated stuff.
#
cleverdevil
that'll take some configuration, but I think I can figure it out.
#
mapkyca
fair dos... although I find full TLS rather than mixed mode is easier to configure (plus it's safer... HTTP can be considered as deprecated at this point)
j12t joined the channel
#
mapkyca
the real danger of using TLS for authentication only is that it's trivial for an attacker to inject into the page - make you load resources you didn't want to, or rewrite https to http :/
#
mapkyca
you can think of any non-tls web page as a potential attack surface / FOXACID server
#
cleverdevil
yeah, that's very true.
#
mapkyca
it sucks, but that's the world we live in :/

cleverdevil: my site uses debian, nginx, mongo (which i want to move away from) and forces TLS unless ppl access it via our onion address
#
cleverdevil
I'd like to switch to nginx from apache
#
cleverdevil
do you have your configuration published somewhere?
#
cleverdevil
it'd be great to see!
#
sensiblemn
i don't know how to do that. github gist?
#
cleverdevil
that'd be fine with me, if you're willing to share.
#
cleverdevil
no pressure :)
#
sensiblemn
i'd like to try to figure it out
#
sensiblemn
but i gotta run for now
