    @DownPW of course. As I mentioned in the first post, Sudonix isn’t going anywhere. It’ll continue to be free as it always has been.

    I’ve noticed that I’m the only one subscribed to the push notifications on this site. If you were using NTFY previously, and have noticed that you’ve not had any alerts for a while, it’s because this feature has been disabled. You’ll now need to use the push notification to replace NTFY as mentioned in the first post.

    I was experiencing 500 (Internal Server Error) responses from the proxy, visible in the browser console: GET https://proxy.xxx-xxx.net/ogproxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fzupimages.net%2Fup%2F26%2F16%2Fld8h.jpg 500 (Internal Server Error) After investigation, I found two root causes: 1. Direct image URLs being sent to the proxy The custom JavaScript responsible for detecting links and sending them to the proxy was using the following regex to exclude direct image links: var fileExtensionPattern = /\.(png|jpeg|gif|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|zip|rar|svg)$/i; Note that .jpg and .webp were missing from the pattern. As a result, links ending in .jpg were not recognized as direct image URLs and were forwarded to the OGProxy, which then tried to scrape them as web pages using open-graph-scraper — causing a 500 error. The fix was to add the missing extensions: var fileExtensionPattern = /\.(jpg|png|jpeg|gif|pdf|docx?|xlsx?|pptx?|zip|rar|svg|webp)$/i; 2. The proxy not following HTTP redirects Some image hosting services (e.g. zupimages.net) return a 301 redirect from the bare domain to www. When curl follows the redirect manually the image loads fine: curl -IL https://zupimages.net/up/26/16/ld8h.jpg HTTP/2 301 → https://www.zupimages.net/up/26/16/ld8h.jpg HTTP/2 200 However, the proxy’s axios.get() call does not handle this gracefully when open-graph-scraper is involved, resulting in a 500 error being returned to the client. My questions are: Is there a known best practice for handling redirect chains in open-graph-scraper? Would passing maxRedirects or followRedirect options explicitly to axios or ogs fix this reliably? Is there a cleaner way to pre-filter direct image/file URLs before they reach the proxy, ideally at the NodeBB plugin level rather than in custom JS? Thanks in advance.

    It’s been a while since I checked in here. Plenty going on - mostly around rectifying small pockets of resistance between light and dark modes, plus the addition of new features such as an enhanced reputation system and the ability to create polls. Plus, there are several changes going on under the hood which are completely transparent to users or the operation of the platform. However, some changes mean that the platform does need to be restarted for code changes to stick and function correctly. I tend to do this during non busy periods, but sometimes, it’s unfortunately inevitable. The good news is that in most cases, a full restart takes only 20 seconds. More to come
