I'm trying to set up a CDN for my website. I've hosted it in my virtual server on Digital Ocean but I can't find an howto for configuring all the necessary. Have anyone some suggestions?

I'd suggest something like:

  • nginx server (very fast for static assets and has a very low memory usage)
  • varnish for cache (HTTP accelerator)

Your most requested static assets like css, js or images will be cached and served as fast as a lightning. I'd recommend having at least 1GB or 2GB of ram for better results.

Here are some helpful links:

Install varnish: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-a-clustered-web-server-with-varnish-and-nginx-on-ubuntu-13-10

I guess this will serve your purpose.

I put together a tutorial on http://www.scalescale.com .

It's called "Rolling Your Own CDN – Build A 3 Continent CDN For $25 In 1 Hour" and can be found at:
