    sorry, i have no clue where to update DNS
    i have pointed ask.domain.com to my DO IP at CF

    That’s all you need to do. Let me see if I can get the cert to work

    @Hari As you are running this domain through CF, you should enable the caching and protection there. At the moment, you are pointing to the server directly.

    @Hari Redis cache isn’t the “saviour” everyone thinks it is - most of files and assets required to access the site initially will be served from the CF edge networks, although CF won’t have any impact on the database.

    Something like Flarum’s ReCache is suggested here - I know that the developer of this product has since left the Flarum team, so I’m not sure if this is still an active product.

    @Hari You need to add this to the Flarum .nginx.conf file, like the below

    location / {
    	try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
    location = /sitemap.xml {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }
    

    So just outside of the default location / block

    @phenomlab for now sitemap is loading should i still add these lines in nginx? (thinking to ignore adding these)

    i rebooted the server and the composer is not found

    should i need to install composer again?

    cd /home/ask/public_html

    [root@ask public_html]# composer require fof/best-answer:"*"
    sh: 1: composer: not found
    [root@ask public_html]# composer require fof/best-answer:"*"
    sh: 1: composer: not found
    [root@ask public_html]# locate composer
    [root@ask public_html]#

    @Hari I think you’re referring to this https://sudonix.com/topic/170/creating-posts-from-rss-feeds-in-flarum However, this code was never designed to work with WordPress, but you could leverage the WP-CLI to do something similar without too much effort.

    @Hari said in Virtualmin Setup DigitalOcean: i have felt it is very hard to manage Virtualmin the settings are confusing It’s a bit of a learning curve, admittedly, but very powerful and easy to use provided you understand the implications of what you are doing. For example, moving a VirtualMin server to subserver and then back again without changing underlying components that rely on the correct placement of the server, of course it will no longer work.

    @Hari DDoS protection is not just a switch, or one component. It’s a collection of different and often disparate technologies that when grouped together form the basis of a combined toolset that can be used in defence. Typically these consist of IDS (Instrusion Detection System) and IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) components that detect irregularities in network traffic, and will take decisive action based on predefined rulesets, or in the case of more modern systems, AI and ML. Traditional “traffic shaping” technology is also deployed, so if an attack cannot be easily identified as malicious, the bandwidth available to that connection is severely limited to nothing more than a trickle rather than a full flow. Years ago, ISP’s used traffic shaping (also called “policers”) as an effective means of stopping applications such as BearShare, eDonkey, Napster, and other P2P based sharing systems from functioning correctly - essentially reducing the “appeal” of distributing and seeding illegal downloads. This was essentially the ISP’s way of saying “stop what you are doing please” without actually pulling the plug. These days, DDoS attacks are designed to overwhelm - not assume control of - webservers and other public facing components. It’s rare for small entities to be attacked unless there is some form of political agenda driven by your site or product. A classic example is governmental institutions or lawmakers who effectively are classed as “enforcers” and those who disagree are effectively making a statement in the form of Denial of Service. DDoS protection is effectively the responsibility of the hosting provider, but you shouldn’t just assume that they will protect you or your site. Their responsibility stops at their infrastructure, so it’s then up to you too decide how you full the gap in between your host and the website. Typically, you’d leverage something like Imunify360 which you can get for Plesk (and something I’d strongly recommend) but it’s not free, and is a paid (not expensive per month) subscription. If you want to use VirtualMin then there are a variety of tools readily available out of the box such as firewalls and fail2ban.
