Seafile: try a self hosted Dropbox like

1 May 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

My last post was about existing alternatives to Dropbox. I also mentioned that I was trying Seafile. I’m running now Seafile since a few days now and it works without any issues. The Linux and Android clients works very well. I just hope a sync feature in the Android version will appear. Regarding the web version, there are all attending collaboration features and that’s great. Seafile supports file versioning and trash bin.

PageSpeed disable Varnish by default ! Get both working together

20 February 2014 in Debian, Hi-Tech, Linux, Web

Yesterday a colleague (Dimitri) tested a tool on this blog. He informed me that Varnish was disabled and PageSpeed may be the cause as this is the last modification I’ve made on the server. After verification he was totally right ! By default, PageSpeed disable cache by serving HTML files with: Cache-Control: no-cache, max-age=0 After reading the PageSpeed documentation on that topic, it is clear: PageSpeed needs to know how to purge the cache as it rewrites a lot of elements and it has the control instead of the application.

Following a previous post, I’ve enabled PageSpeed on both wiki and blog deimos.fr. What I can say is, it’s very important to take the time to test every optimizations you want to add.

I only had this problem on the blog and not the wiki.

A few days ago, Nicolargo made a post regarding it and that’s what motivated me to go ahead on Page Speed. PageSpeed speeds up your site and reduces page load time. This open-source webserver module automatically applies web performance best practices to pages and associated assets (CSS, JavaScript, images) without requiring that you modify your existing content or workflow.
