@andros What do you mean by API? yarnd (_which powers Yarn.social pods like twtxt.net_) does have an API, however that API is designed for clients to interact with the pod and the user's account and feed. e.g: there is a command-line client called yarnc and I used to maintain a mobile native app (_using Flutter_).
What use-case did you have in mind?

@kat So far it's been alright. I wasn't too impressed with Caddy's logging capabilities though or the fact you have to custom build caddy just to support DNS-01 ACME challenge. But other than that, it's okay.

@bender Well technically now I can turn off ingress access to my infra on ports 80/43 etc and just rely on the outbound wireguard tunnelling for the ingress back in.

@lyse Nah I'm fone with using their DNS. I _could_ shove DNS onto Vultr too I suppose or run my own DNS server(s), but I don't see the value in that...

@movq I was using Cloudflare primarily for 3 reasons: 1) For hosting DNS records 2) For reverse proxying into my infra's services and 3) As a layer of defense against DDoS attacks or stupid misbehaving bots. I'm still using Cloudflare for 1) but 2/3 are now done entirely by something I've built myself (_and working well_). Turns out in order to have decent analytics (_metrics, stats, etc_) on traffic, you have to pay Cloudflare $20/month. That's fine, and I did/do that for twtxt.net. But, if you want to know the originating IP address of requests, that's an "enterprise" feature and that'll cost you $200/month π±

@kat When I set about creating Yarn.social back in ~2020 I deliberately wanted to avoid things like reposts, likes and notifications. I wanted to build something simple and non-distracting. I didn't want to fall into the same traps of "big tech" social media with the only goal being to increase engagement, ultimately to then sell ads π€¦ββοΈ -- Twtxt was then a fantastic base to work off of and the rest is history!~

I am now proud to say, that as of this moment, I am off of Clownflare π€£ Still using Cloudflare for DNS, but no longer proxying through their services or terminating TLS at their edge. Instead, all my sites and services now terminate TLS on my own edge proxy running Caddy+Wireguard (_so all ingress is actually egress π€£_) π₯³ #Clownflare #Cloudflare_

@kat No worries! I consider Yarn.social to be really an ecosystem of clients, tools and services. Twtxt is the underlying exchange format used and extended (See https://twtxt.dev)

I'm pretty happy with my Clownflare replacement solution. I'm going to start progressively migrating off Cloudflare soonβ’, but first i need to take what I've built and commoditized it into something that that's reusable and easily usable by others. This likely means Packer image and Terraform module. Once that's done I'll think about how to build a _half decent_ wAF (_Web Application Firewall_) and some kind of a Web Interface (_for adminstration_).
Features right now:
- HTTP Reverse Proxy
- SSH Reverse Proxy
- Let's Encrypt

Finally spending the time/effort today (_on my day off_) to see if I can get a working prototype and proof-of-concept self-hosted alternative to Clownflare going. Components I'm using so far are: Alpine Linux (_may swap this out for Β΅LInux at some point_), Wireguard, Caddy.
