It’s a server that hosts map data for the whole world, and sends map fragments (tiles)as pictures for the coordinates and zoom levels that clients request from them

Are you talking about Nginx Plus ? It seems to be a commercial product built on top of Nginx
According to the Wikipedia article, “Nginx is free and open-source software, released under the terms of the 2-clause BSD license”
Do you have any source about it going proprietary ?
It’s still available in Debian’s default repositories, so it must still be open source (at least the version that’s packaged for Debian)
There have been some changes in a few recent releases related to the concerns I raised :
It’s not that I don’t believe you, I was genuinely interested in knowing more. I don’t understand what’s so “precious” about a random stranger’s thought on the internet if it’s not backed up with any source.
Moreover, I did try searching around for this and could not find any result that seemed to answer my question.
Why do you trust NordVPN more than your ISP ? Is your ISP known to be especially bad ?
Can you give examples of countries where mainstream media is not owned by billionaires ?
I’m pretty sure they are actually hosting it. The tech is quite different (cofractal uses urls ending with {z}/{x}/{y}
, while their tile sever uses this stuff that works quite differently)
They told me about hosting their own tile server earlier today. I’m really impressed by how fast they moved !
A pull request for a privacy page during the onboarding is in the works, and I’ve been working with them to update the settings page and documentation (with the goal of providing an easy way to switch map providers). They are also working on a privacy policy, and want to ship all of this in a few weeks as part of a single release.
Once again, I’m really impressed with how well they’re handling this
With all the botting going on on Reddit, this whole Google AI deal makes me think of the recent paper that demonstrates that, as common sens would suggest, deep learning models collapse when successive generations are trained on the previous generations’ output
Is named
actually running as the bind
user inside the container ? Maybe a USER bind
line below the RUN
lines will help.
I’ll probably look into newer fancier options such as Caddy one day, but as far as I remember Nginx has never failed me : it’s stable, battle tested, and extremely mature. I can’t remember a single time when I’ve been affected by a breaking change (I could not even find one by searching changelogs) and the feature set makes it very versatile. Newer alternatives seem really interesting, but it seems to me they have quite frequent breaking changes and are not as feature rich.
That being said, I’d love to see side-by-side comparison of Nginx and Caddy configs (if anyone wants to translate to Caddy the Nginx caching proxy for OSM I shared earlier this week, that would make a good and useful example), as well as examples of features missing from Nginx. This may give me enough motivation to actually try Caddy :)
(edit : ad->and)
I don’t use nginx-proxy-manager, but if you want to share what you tried, I will try to help you figure what’s not working
It’s the clients (web/android app, probably iOS too) that are making these requests.
To the best of my knowledge, the Immich server inside the container is not making requests to the outside. It is merely sending a style.json
to the client displaying a map, which then fetches tiles from the Cofractal URL inside this JSON.
Or you can quite easily configure nginx as your personal caching proxy with an arbitrarily long TTL/retention duration (you can check out my follow-up post for instructions on doing that)
I used to wonder what kind of nerd notices this kind of thing, now I’m one of them
Edit : If you want to join us :
I don’t use Traefik myself, but this documentation page seems to suggest that Traefik only allows in-memory cache (which would eat RAM and not persist across reboots). You can probably run Nginx with this config inside a container for the caching, then use Traefik to handle requests to immich.your-domain.tld/map_proxy/*
with the caching proxy container.
What do you mean ? Can you give me the exact link that’s not working ?
I can recommend some stuff I’ve been using myself :
I design, deploy and maintain such infrastructures for my own customers, so feel free to DM me with more details about your business if you need help with this
