hello all

Hello shrini

welcome praem902

good post on duruvangal sethu_irccloud

thanks

I was looking into soju irc bouncer this week and stumble across this blog hacdias.com/2023/12/24/irc-bouncer-setup-soju-gamja-caddy-docker

using caddy with soju we can easily create a irc bouncer

Do we use caddy for forums.tamil linux forum ?

goldayan: forums.tamillinuxcommunity.org is a discourse.org instance

goldayan: if we want, we can create a subdomain like irc.tamillinuxcommunity.org and point it to gamja

discourse is a php written application ?

hariharan: rails application

caddy is just a reverse proxy we can use it with any server

Maybe i will give a talk about what i know about caddy this week.

goldayan: that article is confusing, why caddy need to handle IRC port traffic? we can just map 6697 from outside directly to soju container, gamja traffic can go through caddy since gamja is http

for automatic tls

we have here someone who can give free access to znc

it think it is fury999io

soju does support tls but we need to take care for manually generating tls

goldayan: we can configure caddy to only do tls generation for a particular subdomain, then export that tls files to soju container. Not at all an issue.

Ohh nice fury999io

Thank you shrini-weechat

Ok thanks mohan43u.

I am bit new to hosting stuff on internet though. I think it is possible. One problem we may get tls expiration issue. I think caddy will do that automatically (I am not sure i read about it). Well i will explore more on this.

* automatic tls generation if the certificate is expired.

ssl certificates ?

there is treafik (github.com/traefik/traefik) as an alternative for caddy

yes hariharan

why not simple apache or nginx for reverse proxying ?

how traefik or caddy is better ?

Reason i like caddy is, it is just a single binary and configuration is not complicated.

shrini-weechat: minimalism

ok

shrini-weechat: caddy and treafik both are written in go, single binary

oh ok

I never seen multiple binaries for apache or nginx :-)

but, good to see mulitple players on the web server / reverse proxy side

treafik is interesting. I will look into it.

good to see the talk proposal on caddy

thats is the way to learn new things

quickly

thanks goldayan

'=D

shrini-weechat: nothing beats haproxy as pure reverse-proxy, unfortunately, it is not an http proxy, do not do tls cert generation and lot of other stuff which proper http proxies can do.

hmmm

Syed jaffer done a talk about haproxy and he has written a article about it

praem902: are you working on any project?

certbot is there to generate and update ssl certificates medium.com/@pi_45757/generate-lets-…using-certbot-on-linux-414d8adf2ff3

I heard about certbot never used it '=(

Iam too ill try for my local apache server

goldayan: certbot was the first implementation of ACME protocol used in letsencrypt.org infrastructure

goldayan: but after that every http servers have their own ACME client implementation

you need a real domain name to tryout the free ssl certs from letsencrypt

goldayan: letsencrypt.org/docs/client-options

you can get free subdomain at cloudns.nz and use that to get ssl certs from letsencrypts

I use the same for blogs.kaniyam.cloudns.nz

and other subdomains I host on my desktop

at home

once in 3 months, ssl cert expires and have to update manually

there may be ways to automate

yet to explore

Nice shrini i will give a try.

the good thing about cloudns.net is it give a curl command to update the changes on the public ip, automatically

it will be good if all other domain registrators give api to update the records automatically

i have gotosocial instance here

running a socialmedia on my desktop is really cool

shrini-weechat: nice to see you are using gotosocial

that is the minimal toot thing

duckdns also provides a way to update api through curl shrini

mastodon is huge, taking lot of resources

oh thats good

shrini-weechat: mastodon is typical ruby, requires huge resources

it needs redis, postgresql also

Duck dns update ip through cron. I got confused.

gts uses sqlite file and simple

goldayan: thats common

cron is enough

same as cloudns

I really like goto social simple and easy. May be i will give it a try.

shrini-weechat: its fun watch gts http request logs, you can see how fediverse operate in the logs, very interesting domain names

yes

i like the fedeverse for that reason too

we can get to know tons of new domain names, websites and awesome people

praem902: are you interested in doing some project?

have time?

share your skillsets

vii_majesty: any updates ?

sethu_irccloud: that dhuruvangal article messed-up your blog, you need some alignment issues in your wordpress blog theme. also I think you can change the article url to be non escaped, you can use something called slug in wordpress. shrini can help you more on the slug thing in wordpress

^s/you need some alignment/you have some alignment/g

Ok ok mohan43u. Even I faced the same issue when I try clicking the link you shared. Let me take a look on the slug and try to fix it. Thank you again 😊

duruvangal-tamil-novel-review will be better sethu_payilagam

shrini-weechat: Yes I would like to contribute.

I mostly work with Web Applications. I prefer PHP, react and tailwindcss stack

Also learning some golang and rust

praem902: welcome buddy to php world

good praem902

Hello praem902

Its me Mohan Raj :goldayan

yep checkout your github now X-P

Mohan Raj bro i saw you meet picture in last meet

Cool, nice to meet you :itz_mr_evil

Thank you hariharan. I hope I did it as you mentioned. I hope this link works fine now.

I am checking this praem902

what are the social media you are connecting

can you guide on how to get api for facebook,whatsapp etc?

I am looking for such a solution

sethu_irccloud: fix the text wrapping issues too mate. I'm wondering why your current wordpress theme don't do text wrap properly for tamil

Actually it was a fork of an another repo. :shrini-weechat

I've worked on a similar app called seolve :shrini-weechat

But still I can help you on that matter.

github.com/praem90/seolve-app

Sure mohan43u. I will try to fix that too.. came to office today. Will try to fix it once I reach home. Thank you again for the feedback.

I was able to connect to FB, Insta, LinkedIn and Twitter

super praem902

praem902: is seolve-app a private repo?

can not see it

can anyone here access the above link shared by praem902 ?

yes it private repo i think

i get 404 shrini-weechat:

ok

Ohh, sorry about that

Changed it to public now

It is a 2yr old incomplete project

thanks praem902

can you give some talk or demo on this?

on how to configure and use

on any kanchilug weekly meet

on suday evenings

or any of your available time?

Sure, that works. Before that I'll recollect and setup it up in my dev env

It is a scheduler app. But now I'm thinking of something like integrate with local LLMs and automate the scheduling by simply giving a topic.

ok

test it locally and fix any recent api changes on the social media platforms

add more social media

than to work with llm

we dont need llm everywhere :-)

simple applications can be simple itself

fix the README and make one INSTALL file and give the documentation too

good to have more PHP dev team here

itz_mr_evil should be happy to see a fellow PHP developer here

\part

Sure, I'll try my best
