Another week of progress in getting set up with the #fediverse! It's been a hell of a journey getting set up and some of my aspirations, like having all apps be able to be connected with external #SSO, won't happen (#pixelfed doesn't support it).
They still need more work and setup, but I'm also running #writefreely and #picsur. I have #cloudflare caching images and resources and responsiveness is looking pretty good despite the server being located in the EU and I'm in the US.
I've mis-mounted storage, done a ton of wipes, nearly got my federated local domains wrong. So many minor things. I still need to get actual admin stuff like captcha and sign in set up, but the infrastructure is there.
One of the things I'd like to do as well is to make a landing website with details on services provided, how to sign up, etc. It'd also be cool to get someone to do some iconography and make a mascot before it goes live.
Pending services:
- piefed
- #bookwyrm
- maybe #Matrix. I've been using it on my own for a while, but even when switching from the main server to another implementation, I'm not sure it's ready.
- a wiki
But so far, we have a 2 node #kubernetes #cluster with backups, replication & fault tolerance, caching, etc.
I've learned so much from doing this. Is is stuff I could repeat? dunno.
