Enable a CDN for your Discourse

CDN CloudFlare и Discourse исторически плохо сочетались, поэтому мы не рекомендуем использовать CDN CloudFlare на данный момент.

Актуально ли это и сейчас?

S3 image bandwidth costs are getting annoying

I’m using Cloudflare on my Discourse site and it works fine. You basically route all your traffic through Cloudflare and tell it what to process or cache and that’s it. There are a few things to keep in mind though: Configure Cloudflare to NOT cache anything (set up exceptions using page rules, see below). Don’t let Cloudflare touch your Javascript - specifically, turn off Rocket Loader. I’m not sure about Brotli compression yet, I disabled it. Set up page rules to cache the avatar and upload …

Кажется, нам нужно быть особенно осторожными, и мы теряем часть преимуществ Cloudflare.

I can't login to admin after backup due to Cloudflare

Cloudflare isn’t broken, your implementation was. Let’s Encrypt won’t enroll a certificate while CloudFlare is proxying. It prevents the verification from going through. You can’t use any of their ‘performance’ features with Discourse as it alters the already-minified code. All CloudFlare can do for you is hide your IP and act as a CDN for your uploads. The benefits are minimal.

S3 image bandwidth costs are getting annoying

Cloudflare is fine - just disable their Rocket Loader feature. With no configuration effort, it saves half the bandwidth back to my server. It might be that years ago Cloudflare didn’t work well with Discourse, but it’s not true today. It would be nice if we didn’t keep seeing doubt about it. If anyone has a specific problem, they should start a support thread here describing what’s not working.

Так что, надежен ли и эффективен ли Cloudflare в связке с Discourse сегодня? Уменьшает ли отключение функции “Rocket Loader” её преимущества?

Я думал о переходе с Stackpath на Bunny CDN, но владелец домена моего форума и бывший администратор имеет корпоративный аккаунт Cloudflare (кстати, он владелец tinyURL), через который он может бесплатно добавить этот домен (Looking for a decrease in the forum fees in the future - #6 by Gilby - Forum Feedback - Unicyclist.com).

Так что я задаюсь вопросом, правильно ли, безболезненно и эффективно ли использовать Cloudflare вместо Bunny CDN.
