Setup OGProxy for use in NodeBB

[phenomlab]

@DownPW I have just committed the latest code to git - it’s only function.js code and won’t require a restart of the OGProxy service.

cool many thanks

Hi @phenomlab

it seem virtualmin doesn’t add http2 directive on nginx configuration like you said on tutorial :

Should I add it?
what does it bring?

[phenomlab]

@DownPW it does, but you have to enable it.
Vitrualmin/Server Configuration/Website Options

A fairly concise explanation of http2 and it’s benefits can be found here.

Ok thank you for information my friend

[phenomlab]

Fixed a minor bug to prevent anchor href wrapping entire width of parent element. Updated code available at

https://github.com/phenomlab/ogproxy/blob/main/function.js

Note, that you will also need this additional block of CSS

.card.card-wrapper {
     background: none;
     width: 450px;
}
 @media (max-width: 767px) {
     .card.card-wrapper {
         background: none;
         width: 100%;
    }
}

The original post instructions have been updated

[cagatay]

i should also add it Mark?

[DownPW]

you just need to copy the code from the below

https://github.com/phenomlab/ogproxy/blob/main/function.js

And, of course, replace these two values with your own that you already have

var proxy = "FULL_FQDN_OF_YOUR_OGPROXY_HERE";
var apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE";

And add new css block code to ACP/custom CSS

@cagatay @DownPW it’s not critical - it only addresses a cosmetic bug so if you haven’t really noticed then it’s not urgent

[DownPW]

result with latest code @phenomlab :

My css :

*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*------------------        nodebb-plugin-OGPROXY       ----------------------*/
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

/* Desktop */

/* Iframe */
.card img.card-favicon {
    max-width: 21px;
    max-height: 21px;
    margin-right: 10px;
}
h4.card-site-title {
    color: var(--bs-body-color);
    text-transform: capitalize;
}
.card.card-preview {
    margin: 20px 0 20px 0;
    width: 50%;
}
[component="chat/message"] .card.card-preview {
    margin: 20px 0 20px 0;
    width: 30%;
}
.card.card-preview img:not(.card-favicon) {
    object-fit: cover;
    width: 100%;
    max-height: 15rem;
    border-top-left-radius: 0.375rem;
    border-top-right-radius: 0.375rem;
}
  .card.card-preview .img-fluid {

  }
  .card-preview p.card-text {
    font-size: 80%;
    color: var(--bs-body-color);
    
  }
  .card-preview h5.card-title {
    font-weight: 600;
    font-size: 120%;
    color: var(--bs-body-color);
}

/* Effect hover Iframe */
.card-image-container {

    max-height: 250px;
    overflow: hidden;
    border-top-left-radius: 0.375rem !important;
    border-top-right-radius: 0.375rem !important;
}
#card-image {
    -webkit-transition: all 0.8s ease;
    -moz-transition: all 0.8s ease;
    transition: all 0.8s ease;
}
#card-image:hover {
    transform: scale(1.5,1.5);
  }
  
.card.card-wrapper {
    background: none;
    width: 450px;
}

/* Smartphone */
@media (max-width: 1010px) {
    [component="chat/message"] .card.card-preview {
    margin: 20px 0 20px 0;
    width: 100%;
    }
    
    .card.card-preview {
    margin: 20px 0 20px 0;
    width: 100%;
}
}

maybe you should put the css code in github

[phenomlab]

Thanks. I’ve just seen another bug on mobile because I didn’t add the mobile class. I’ll do it tomorrow and update the code

[DownPW]

@phenomlab

fixed

with this code (add no border and change width) :

.card.card-wrapper {
    background: none;
    border: none;
    /* width: 450px; */
    width: 100%;
}

All the code fixed for Desktop & Smartphone and adding Effect hover Iframe :

/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*------------------        nodebb-plugin-OGPROXY       ----------------------*/
/*----------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

/* Desktop */

Found another bug where mentions are converted into preview links in chat where they shouldn’t be (thanks @DownPW for reporting).

https://github.com/phenomlab/ogproxy/blob/main/function.js

[cagatay]

i confused. what i have to do add or delete

[phenomlab]

@cagatay see below

https://github.com/phenomlab/ogproxy/blob/03d5ff125611361700d785bd82a6ab16fcd68bfc/function.js#L7

It’s basically this line - replace what you already have in your JS functions with this one.

[cagatay]

@phenomlab i think did it

[crazycells]

hi @phenomlab , what would be the difference between running this on server side (as link-preview plugin) or on client side (as ogproxy) in layman’s terms?

[phenomlab]

@crazycells In laymen terms, it means that there is zero load on the server because all rendering of website previews is handled client side. This makes it more performant on budget hosts because the processing is handled by the visiting web browser.

All sessions are also cached meaning it has superior speed.

[crazycells]

@phenomlab are they cached for each user separately?

additionally, this is also handling youtube videos etc, right?

No. It’s a shared cache

No. This is handled by nodebb-plugin-ns-embed
