I’ve upgraded one of my Discourse forum servers, so to open UDP 443 rather than only TCP in the IONOS Cloud Panel firewall (i’m from GB).
I don’t use CDN because this particular forum isn’t big user number, but has lots of categories.
I had some difficulty in ensuring the IP geos through nginx correctly, and the forum performs well now with no issues in /logs.
I have rotating proxy logs set up with Docker Compose and appreciate that Caddy does some automatic redaction of sensitive field in the proxy logs, something i haven’t quite noticed with Nginx before. Though i only recall using proxy logs twice in the 2 years i’ve used Discourse in production.
I’m hoping to gather how much interest there would be if i published a guide going through what commands i ran, and what happened when i ran them, to get from the Beginner docker install guide to the slightly more mobile-friendly forum now - i can include commands for future maintenance, i.e. upgrading Caddy to a newer release, but i haven’t tested these commands on my IONOS L VPS yet.
