Its using OpenID so yes it would support those. But it would support a lot of others as well. Authelia, keycloak, and authentik are a few examples that are open source and self hostable. Its nice to have SSO for all your services even in a homelab.

Well initial setup was definitely interesting. I didn’t want to expose 8090 and wanted it behind a web proxy and I finally got that working and actually received my first remote crawl overnight. I had to change to 80/443 internally so it would map correctly for p2p connections, public port setting doesn’t apparently cut it. I kinda dislike the whole setup with it micromanaging CPU load, but otherwise it doesn’t seem atrocious for a new peer at least, I guess this and the web proxy problems are likely awkward due to the age of the software.

There also seems to be a lot of settings so perhaps they had it misconfigured. It also is Java so I wouldn’t put it past it for such a monolith of a Java program to require so much to be performant. Perhaps I’ll try a cluster of them then and see how it fares.

Besides yacy, there is a project to build decentralized apps with search listed as an example. Its very early and nothing is built off of it yet though.

I really want to use this, but from what I read it basically requires a minimum of 20-30GB of RAM to be performant. Also the documentation appears to be a mess and highly outdated. I’d also want to cluster it internally and connect with outside peers still which seems possible, but with the large resource requirement not as feasible with my setup.

I honestly forgot what the first D was at that moment lol. While I agree it technically can be done pretty badly without distributed attacks. I read in the past couple of years of an approach attackers used was to make an application DOS itself from a single request. I think it required a vulnerability in the application in this instance though.

DDOS = denial of service attack. Attacker sends a bunch of requests overloading a service and causing other clients to experience.timeouts due to the service not being.abe.to.handle the load.

Yeah it’s really nice when you just need a simple package or service setup. Anything not so common or needing a different version of the package can make it 100x more difficult for a regular user to do.

I have preferred NixOS for at least 4 or 5 years, it is really nice moving to another VPS you just drop config in and copy your data and it’s configured.

I saw one recently account starting 35k, with federal rebate making effectively 27.5k and has 260 range. It’s getting there at least.
