A recent apache update broke a bunch of nginx-based sites this morning. If you're getting a 421 error, you'll need to add some proxy_ssl config to nginx's setup quickly.

#421

While at the https://compost.party picnic the other day @computersandblues showed me how to edit the #nginx file responsible for redirecting domain.tld/index.html to domain.tld and I added a line to support index.txt and index.svg which was so easy. But one thing I then thought, is there any way to tell a browser to use a different font then the default other then thru CSS or HTML?

Just released: #swad 0.5

swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", meant to add authentication using a #cookie and a #login form to your reverse proxy. It's designed for #nginx' "auth_request" module. It's written in pure #C with very few external dependencies (zlib, and depending on build options OpenSSL/LibreSSL and #PAM).

And with this release, it also allows guest logins using the crypto puzzle you may already know from #Anubis!

Read more in the release notes, grab the .tar.xz and build/install it 😎

@sbb @raucao

That's just the "normal" #nginx domain, location and #reverseProxy stuff. I don't have a good example at hand (we have it at work, but the git is not yet public, sorry), maybe others can point to a good tutorial?

@prosodyim maybe?

(Reminder to myself: Put more $dayjob stuff to the public git. There are no secrets anyway.)

Just released: #swad v0.3!

https://github.com/Zirias/swad/releases/tag/v0.3

swad is the "Simple Web Authentication Daemon", your tiny, efficient and (almost) dependency-free solution to add #cookie + login #form #authentication to whatever your #reverse #proxy offers. It's written in pure #C, portable across #POSIX platforms. It's designed with #nginx' 'auth_request' in mind, example configurations are included.

This release brings a file-based credential checker in addition to the already existing one using #PAM. Also lots of improvements, see details in the release notes.

I finally added complete build instructions to the README.md:

And there's more documentation available: manpages as well as a fully commented example configuration file.
