What kind of queue do you recommend?

NNelson Sousa What kind of queue do you recommend?

WTDawson9•10/24/24, 8:18 PM

It depends on what you would use as a backend

Nelson SousaOP•10/24/24, 8:18 PM

Whatever is best

main stack is C# but working now with TS

WTDawson9•10/24/24, 8:19 PM

For me personally, I would:

- Receive the image from the user or whatever the API route is
- Save it and tag it (Give it an ID and save information about it for later on)
- Add it to the end of some kind of queue file
- Every so often, go to the first image on the queue, take it off the queue, process it and then send it to Cloudflare R2

Nelson SousaOP•10/24/24, 8:20 PM

Got it

Nelson SousaOP•10/24/24, 8:20 PM

Thanks for your feedback

valkyrie_pilot•10/24/24, 8:29 PM

what's the reasoning for only doing so every so often?

NNelson Sousa Got it

There is actually this: https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/images

WTDawson9•10/24/24, 8:36 PM

Just in case other things are going on because generally image processing eats resources

I’d do as soon as possible

i would probably make it a separate resource that could be controlled seperately

5,000 image transformations free per month

It's a pay-as-you-go kind of thing

Storage on R2 and then use transformations? Not sure how to save the output of transformations, tho

WTDawson9•10/24/24, 9:03 PM

Seems to still load content, just thought I'd mention it

WTDawson9•10/24/24, 9:03 PM

I dont have that feature set up

Thanks! Going to get it escalated still and make sure it's taken care of!

Guys I am a little bit confused. Just configured Cloudflare for the first time. Already changed my nameservers as well and got the message: Great news! Cloudflare is now protecting your siteGreat news! Cloudflare is now protecting your site.

Now, how can I configure Cloudflare to follow cache rules based on whatever the origin specifies in the CDN-Cache-Control header? For all kind of files, like HTML, JS and JSON.

Do I need to create a "Cache Rule" or a "Page Rule" or even something else?

See here -> https://developers.cloudflare.com/cache/concepts/default-cache-behavior/

Cloudflare Docs

Default cache behavior | Cloudflare Cache (CDN) docs

Cloudflare respects the origin web server’s cache headers in the following order unless an Edge Cache TTL cache rule overrides the headers. Refer to the Edge TTL section for details on default TTL behavior.

Nelson SousaOP•10/25/24, 12:23 AM

Looks like it should be a "Cache Rule"?

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 8:59 AM

I'm not sure if this is a great place to ask, but would it be a good idea to self-host an outbound only email server on one of my servers running in the cloud?

It has a dedicated IP address and I can set it up with DMARC on Cloudflare so that it's not instantly rejected by other email servers.

I want to use this primarily for email verification emails, forgot password links or a "magic" link

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 8:59 AM

Just seems like a free alternative to having to pay for an email service for over 100 emails a day

fry69•10/25/24, 9:02 AM

You need to find an (IPv4) IP (or two) which are not in the common block lists, which is hard, because some block entire VPS ranges or VPS provider simply block outgoing SMTP (e.g. Hetzner). You can't host a mail server on Cloudflare.

fry69•10/25/24, 9:04 AM

With some effort this is doable though.

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:04 AM

I have a server in the Oracle Cloud

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:04 AM

Is there a list of blocked ranges?

WWTDawson9 Is there a list of blocked ranges?

fry69•10/25/24, 9:04 AM

Check with e.g. -> https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

Ffry69 Check with e.g. -> https://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:05 AM

I'll check it out, brb

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:05 AM

It's on 0 blocklists

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:06 AM

So I guess it's possible

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:07 AM

My home IP address is on a blocklist, which is expected since it's not a commerical IP

WWTDawson9 So I guess it's possible

fry69•10/25/24, 9:07 AM

It is possible but it will require domain specific knowledge and effort, e.g. DKIM, SPF, MTA-STS etc (besides DMARC)

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:07 AM

Yeah

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:08 AM

I found something I can use to self-host an SMTP server which may be good, and I can just add my servers IP to the SPF records

WTDawson9•10/25/24, 9:10 AM

Lol, my SPF record is set up to accept mail from anywhere

fry69•10/25/24, 9:10 AM

Unless you also correctly set up all the other things emails from your brand-new MTA will most likely get flagged as not trustworthy from other big providers and end up in the spam folder.

What kind of queue do you recommend?
