We’ve installed Voyager and it’s reachable at https://m.lemmy.world, you can browse Lemmy, and login there (also if your account isn’t on lemmy.world)
Is there a benefit to using the Voyager hosted on the Lemmy server vs direct from vger.app? Any downsides
Benefit: My password autofill works because the domain is lemmy.world instead of voyager.app.
It’s not just autofill. If it’s a different domain, the proxy host is reading your password and sending it though to Lemmy to log you in.
This won’t be the case as soon as Lemmy.world fixes their CORS policy.
If you happen to be using 1Password, you can search and do a one time fill.
Oh I can still do it with iCloud passwords, it’s just not as convenient.
When you’re using vger hosted on a different domain, your password has to be read by them and sent to the Lemmy server to log you in.
If it’s on the same server, the pw stays in the one system (albeit it might still need to go through the two pieces of software, idk how it’s configured).
Downside from what I understand would be potentially delayed updates depending on how they pull the codebase
The one hosted closer to you gives (slightly) better performance.
Correct me if I’m wrong, m.lemmy.world = Finland, vger.app (formerly wefwef.app) = US.
It’s pretty marginal though (after tonight). Once the app is installed, all requests will go directly to lemmy.world (after tonight) and response times should be exactly the same.
That’s great to hear. Thanks for your hard work! Tonight was a good night!
Based on a comment by @[email protected] it looks like they’re just using a docker container, only takes seconds to update. He said he’d probably set up Watchtower which auto updates containers so it should be only an hour or so behind.
