[dreamwidth/dreamwidth] badf5e: Replace Apache with Starman behind Varnish on web22
Mar. 13th, 2026 11:32 amBranch: refs/heads/main Home: https://github.com/dreamwidth/dreamwidth Commit: badf5eae7a944fed8e8381ee3dff2238633191c6 https://github.com/dreamwidth/dreamwidth/commit/badf5eae7a944fed8e8381ee3dff2238633191c6 Author: Mark Smith mark@dreamwidth.org Date: 2026-03-13 (Fri, 13 Mar 2026)
Changed paths: M etc/docker/web22/Dockerfile M etc/docker/web22/config/etc/varnish/dreamwidth.vcl M etc/docker/web22/scripts/startup-prod.sh
Log Message:
Replace Apache with Starman behind Varnish on web22
Varnish now forwards to Starman on port 8080 instead of Apache on port 80. This removes Apache from the web22 request path entirely, with Varnish's caching layer helping absorb health check traffic that previously queued behind busy Starman workers.

Log Message:
Add SO_SNDTIMEO middleware to prevent Starman workers blocking on dead connections
When the ALB closes a connection before Starman finishes writing a response (e.g. due to idle timeout), the worker's write() blocks for 15-30 minutes waiting for TCP retransmits to exhaust. With 10 workers, this quickly deadlocks the entire server.
The new DW::WriteTimeout middleware sets SO_SNDTIMEO on the client socket via psgix.io so that blocked writes fail in seconds instead of minutes, freeing the worker to handle new requests.

Log Message:
Remove dead utf8convert links, handle invalid UTF-8 in profiles (#3535)
- Remove dead utf8convert links and handle invalid UTF-8 in profiles
The utf8convert page was removed years ago, but the profile editing and account creation pages still linked to it when a user's name or bio contained invalid UTF-8. This left users unable to edit those fields at all.
Instead of hiding fields behind a dead link, clean invalid UTF-8 byte sequences on load using a new LJ::clean_utf8() utility function. This strips broken sequences while preserving valid multi-byte characters, so the edit fields are always shown.
- Add LJ::clean_utf8() to LJ::TextUtil
- Clean name/bio on load in profile and create controllers
- Remove text_in/is_utf8 conditionals from profile.tt and setup.tt
- Remove name_absent/bio_absent hidden input fallback logic
- Mark dead translation strings in deadphrases.dat
- Add 16 regression tests for text_in, text_trim, and clean_utf8
Fixes #1894
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 noreply@anthropic.com
- Add tests for undef input and 4-byte UTF-8 (emoji) in clean_utf8
Cover edge cases: undef returns empty string, emoji (4-byte sequences) are preserved, and truncated 4-byte sequences are properly stripped while preserving valid preceding characters.

Changed paths: M cgi-bin/LJ/SynSuck.pm M cgi-bin/ljlib.pl
Log Message:
Fix feed fetching on Ubuntu 22.04+ and reduce backoff aggressiveness
Force HTTP/1.1 via SSL_alpn_protocols in LJ::get_useragent. LWP does not support HTTP/2, but IO::Socket::SSL on 22.04+ advertises h2 via ALPN by default, causing servers like Tumblr to respond with HTTP/2 which LWP can't parse ("500 Server closed connection").
Also reduce exponential backoff cap from 30 days to 48 hours (max multiplier 2^4=16 instead of 2^7=128) and replace fixed 0-4 minute jitter with proportional jitter (up to 10% of delay) so retries stagger more effectively.
