Traefik

Wherein I figure out why my Ceph S3 is so slow and think about potential hardware upgrades. As part of my goaccess post, I had to copy around almost 60 GB of logs, from my laptop to my desktop. I decided to do that via my Ceph S3. And it was very, very slow. There were 185 files to copy, with a total size just shy of 60 GiB. The majority of that size comes from two Traefik log files, both around 30 GiB in size. I used Rclone to sync the files to an empty directory on my desktop with this command: ...

Wherein I talk about a small tool for access log analysis on the terminal. I recently re-discovered a small tool I already came across a while ago, but never wrote a post about: Goaccess.

This was mostly driven by the fact that I’m already using Traefik as the proxy in front of my current Nomad cluster, and I’ve become quite familiar with it. ...
