I've been using a caching solution in hopes that down the line it will take some load off my server for when we grow bigger.

Evidently it's been serving up stale copies of pages so I've since stopped using it. This issue shouldn't happen anymore.

Yeah, for some reason I thought haproxy had its own way of dealing with dynamic content. I didn't seem to have any problems perusing my selfhosted stuff that doesn't get much traffic, so I just assumed that that was the case.

Currently I use Caddy, and its caching module is more designed for distributed caching so I've been having Caddy proxy requests to haproxy within the same docker network and having haproxy proxy all requests to my box here from the VPS that both Caddy and haproxy are on.

The big reason I don't just use nginx is because Caddy has support for http/3 whereas for nginx, it's still being developed. I'm not sure if that makes a huge difference but it sure sounds that way since http/3 uses UDP and not TCP, meaning handshakes aren't a thing.

AFAIK Lemmy doesn't have support for Redis, otherwise I would've jumped on that the second I found out about it.

That being said, I'll look at the docs more and see on how to cache just the /pictrs/image endpoint.

Went with Varnish instead of haproxy since haproxy can only do caching in-memory. And images are only being cached now.
