here is an example… Since previews are just previews and do not give the whole info, we prefer to see them in the text as a small banner with some info in it… free iframely takes a much larger unnecessary space from the post…

@crazycells looks like you’re using a 100% width there which would explain the cramped look on here as I set a static
max-width

max-width@phenomlab yes, you have very customized themes here; so I guess CSS codes will need some adjustments for a similar look…

Thanks @crazycells for your code, I will test it, for sure
@phenomlab Resources level, do you know to what extent the CPU will be impacted by Iframely?
Generally speaking, our forum uses between 20 and 50% of the CPU. With peaks at 80-90 which return an excess load and unavailability to the forum (a few seconds).

@DownPW iFramely is multi threaded and runs as a cluster, so will spread itself across the amount of cores you have. If you run
pm2 statusyou’ll see how many cores it’s using, plus the memory usage.I’ve never had an issue with it and I know that thousands of sites have it installed with no performance degradation. It scales very well and only seems to occupy a small selection of CPU and memory.

Ok @phenomlab
Thanks for your answer but with pm2 status command, I see a % of CPU used but not the number of CPU core used…

@DownPW OMG

ha ha, i’m tired voila
you say this:
if you are using Cloudflare, this particular port (8061) isn’t routable with the free plan, so something to be aware of
@phenomlab
I’m using a free plan from CloudFlare, will this bother me for use Iframely on my server? -

@DownPW no. It needs to be an A record. CNAME is canonical meaning that traffic sent to it will land up at your main nginx site. The A record will sent headers which nginx can use to route the traffic correctly.
CNAME records do not have this and will resolve to the underlying host which will cause you problems. Useful for WWW and non-WWW, but that’s about it.
Essentially, it’s an alias and not a record in it’s own right.

@phenomlab as a result of ps -x i cant see iframely service pid id so i think its not working automaticly when i rebooted the server. How can i start it?
@cagatay try
pm2 start pm2.jsonwhich needs to be executed from the directory of the iFramely domain where it is installed. See previous documentation I provided after the installation.A quicker route would be to reboot your VPS to see if that resolves the issue.
