When a machine is offline, GET responses for paths configured under [[cache.routes]] are served from disk instead of triggering a wake: the client gets a full answer while the box stays asleep. - single-file atomic cache entries (metadata envelope + body), with legacy two-file entries still loadable - unchanged bodies skip the disk write, but are rewritten if the file vanished, so static responses never leave the cache empty - cached paths are refreshed after every wake and on warm_interval - hop-by-hop and framing headers stripped on store, replayed otherwise - config: [cache] block with root_path, ttl, max_response_size_bytes, warm_interval and [[cache.routes]] path patterns (/* wildcard); unknown or TCP cache routes are rejected at load - Logger gains Debug for cache chatter
WalkthroughAdds an optional disk-backed cache for configured HTTP GET paths. The proxy stores eligible responses, serves fresh cached responses when a machine is confirmed down, and refreshes configured paths during warm-up. Configuration, persistence, and proxy behavior are covered by tests and documentation. ChangesStatic response cache

Explanation
Issue
#2requires immediate delivery of configured cached assets and background wake of the offline target. The PR implements cached delivery only when the machine is confirmed unhealthy. The PR description explicitly excludes wake-on-cache-hit behavior, and the tests verify that cache hits do not send WOL packets. Cache warming after a wake or at a timer interval does not satisfy the missing background wake requirement.Resolution
Implement background wake initiation on an offline cache hit while returning the cached response immediately. Add an automated test that verifies both cached delivery and background wake.

- Around line 561-571: Update writeFileAtomic to create a unique temporary file
in the destination directory for each write, then write and close it before
renaming it to filePath. Remove the temporary file on write, close, or rename
failure, preserving the existing atomic replacement behavior.
- Around line 1999-2011: Update catchingBody and its construction in the
shouldCache block to buffer at most CacheMaxResponseSize and track whether Read
reached io.EOF. Save the response only after a complete body reaches EOF without
exceeding the limit; do not cache partial bodies closed after a read error or
client disconnect.
- Around line 2140-2146: Validate that parsed CacheWarmInterval and cacheTTL
values are positive in the cache configuration parsing flow in main.go. Return a
configuration error for zero or negative values after parsing each duration,
while preserving the existing parse-error handling; this prevents invalid
intervals from reaching startCacheWarming and avoids immediately expiring cache
entries.
- Line 1297: Update the response-body read in the warm-up cache flow to read up
to one byte beyond p.config.CacheMaxResponseSize, and call p.cache.Save only
when the read succeeds and the body length is within the configured maximum.
- Line 1553: Update the cache conditions in the serve path and ModifyResponse
capture path to cache only requests with an empty r.URL.RawQuery, keeping the
lookup and save behavior consistent.
- Line 1982: Update the response-caching condition around `p.cache` to skip
requests with `Authorization` or `Cookie` headers and responses with
`Set-Cookie` or `Cache-Control` directives `private`, `no-store`, or `no-cache`.
Update `sanitizeCachedHeaders` to remove `Set-Cookie` as a second safeguard.
- Line 1552: Update the cache condition in handleRequest so cached GET responses
are served only when the machine is confirmed unhealthy, not merely when
healthCacheStatus returns false for stale data. If checking
machineState.IsHealthy directly, preserve the existing mutex protection when
reading it.

- warmMachine saved any 2xx response: a warmed response that sets a cookie or declares Cache-Control private/no-store/no-cache is now rejected too. Save strips Set-Cookie but keeps the body, so without this a later offline GET was handed a response the upstream never meant to share - a request carrying Authorization or Cookie is no longer answered from cache: every stored entry was fetched anonymously, so replaying one to a logged-in client answers it with a response the backend never produced for it - Save renews the envelope once an unchanged entry is past half its TTL. The Timestamp inside the envelope is what expires an entry, and skipping the write on identical bytes left it at the original save time, so a body that never changes stopped being served even though warm-up re-fetched it every cycle - regression tests for all three, each verified to fail with the fix reverted

I'm sorry about the delay in reviewing your PRs, I'll get to them ASAP :) |
Please don't worry, take your time, is not urgent. |

Hey @XBold, first, thank you. This is careful work, and you put real effort into the review rounds. I owe you an honest update. I opened #2, but seeing a full implementation made me realize it's a bigger scope than I want doormouse to carry. It's essentially an HTTP cache, with all the edge cases that come with one ( The good news is you can get most of this today by putting nginx, Varnish or Caddy (with a cache plugin) in front of doormouse. Fresh entries are served without touching doormouse at all, so the machine stays asleep. I'm planning to add a short README section showing how to set that up. So I'm going to close this one, and close #2 with the same explanation. That's on me for not thinking the scope through before opening the issue. Sorry for the long wait on top of that. If you keep using the cache in your fork and run into something doormouse itself could make easier, I'd be glad to hear about it. |

No worries @darksworm, I totally understand, I'll keep my branch separated with the cache feature enabled because for me it's super useful, especially for llamacpp server which most of the time, the requests made to it are pretty "static" and don't require the turn on of my main computer. Take care! |

Adds an opt-in static response cache: routes can declare paths that are served from disk when the machine is asleep, instead of waking it for content that doesn't need the machine (model lists, static assets, landing pages).
GETrequests with a 2xx status are cached, only for routes named in[[cache.routes]];/*suffixes cache a whole prefix; oversized responses are skipped. The query string is part of an entry's identity, so/models?filter=xis stored and replayed separately from/models.AuthorizationorCookieis neither cached nor answered from cache. A response that setsSet-Cookieor declaresCache-Control: private/no-store/no-cacheis not cached — on either the proxied path or the warm-up path.Set-Cookieis also stripped on save as a second guard.io.EOFand stops buffering pastmax_response_size_bytes, so a body closed after an upstream reset or a client disconnect — or one too big to store — is never saved as a full200. The warm-up path reads one byte past the limit so an oversized response is rejected rather than stored truncated.ttlandwarm_interval—warm_interval = "0s"used to panictime.NewTickerinside the warming goroutine and take the proxy down at startup.warm_intervalwhile the machine stays up, configured paths are re-fetched; unchanged bodies are not rewritten, but an unchanged entry past half its TTL does get its envelope refreshed so a response that never changes doesn't expire out from under the warm-up.Scope note on #2: this implements the "serve the cached asset immediately" half of #2, deliberately not the "wake the target in the background" half — the whole point is that cached content is served without waking the machine (no magic packets, no power). Waking on a cache hit would also make the feature impossible to reason about for a route whose cached paths are all it ever serves. So this PR no longer claims to close #2; #2 stays open for the wake-on-miss behaviour.
