Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!
rumba@lemmy.zip 1 day agoYeah part of doing this is keeping a ci pipeline up and unit testing against rcs and telling them exactly what’s failing. The report in that ticket gave them absolutely no choice but to try to set up an entire system to reproduce whatever the user did which they obviously don’t want to do.
WebSocket relays are poorly implemented in a lot of proxies, Even cloudflare has its fair share of issues.
The downside of using HA is reinventing the let’s encrypt pipeline for the 40th time, the upside is it’s dead simple, web sockets go in, web sockets go out, The logs are good, it’s easy to debug it with TCP dump If things start to get sketchy.

How can you debug it with a TCP dump if it’s encrypted?

You are doing the https unwrapping in tf/HA proxy. It’s clear text between the proxy process and the JF server
You can do a dump off the entire network stream when it’s working, install the release candidate and do another dump of the network stream with it not working. Sift through to find the changes.
When the person posted that there was a problem with the RC, It was probably a web socket being mishandled by the proxy due to some change. You can’t just go oh there’s a problem with my third party middleware. They’re going to need to know which of their changes broke the problem. Why it breaks it, and what should be done instead if you expect them to make any kind of changes.
The alternative is you ask them to support traffic or HA or NPM, and on a volunteer project I could see that being a bridge too far
