Afair Varnish can store cache in files too? I may be messing things here, as I use Nginx like 500 times more often. If yes, you can store that data with fixed size tmpfs - while on servers with modern NVMe handling 5 Gbyte/sec I would

Indeed, that's one of the most popular cases and I even used it myself couple of times. Though when frontend devs cannot explain which CORS headers and for which origins they do need (again, I'm sysasmin, not even daily reader of

Nowadays I almost have zero intersection with Varnish - my own impression it was much more popular like 10 years ago or even more. I know couple of frameworks/systems support it, especially in php world. Looks like that it's lost

I have much more peace of mind when it's not in chroot but even better inside systemd unit and all that ReadonlyPath and capabilities applied. In the ideal case network access beyond localhost and may be db is denied for greater safety

I'm curios - my naive understanding that instead of using backend which will allow limited subset of actions/validate input, there is some 3rd party DB ( Firebase ?) which works via some sort of per-user API keys to allow fetch di

Long time Hetzner user, but I would not trust new system (S3 storage) in this case for things beyond playground and tests until it has at least couple of years in production - Hetzner just made it public in ~ Nov 2024.

I've tried to try - yet still on Nginx as my primary web server and Apache somewhat secondary (with may be 5% for Apache and 95% for Nginx) web server of choice. No doubts I'm not an expert in Caddy and there are some chances it h

indeed, no discussions here (which I'm amused a bit of) - have everyone switched already to wise or uv or something else and asdf is not relevant for fellow sysadmins/devs anymore?

If someone was comparing - them should not. Podman + Systemd + Redhats system integration vs freeride Docker. Hope it clarifies for you.

I remember that on one of the $dayjobs around 2014 we have used runit, but I honestly don't remember why and what it gave us. Very likely just as auxiliary tool, not main init system. Really curious now what it was so.

Everything is better with Nginx! As sysadmin I've seen many cases when not letting backend to serve static files drops latency and load significantly. In the worst case, X-accel-redirect is still better than serving through most of the
