Any idea on how to make it work ?

@jrl-abstract27 from the logs, it looks like it is responding with a 200 . The healthcheck afterwards keeps failing with 502?

[jrl-abstract27]

yes, i found a way to make it work by taking off the 2auth verification with "security": {
"staffDeviceVerification": false
} so i could acces the back office and fix it all.

in the mean time i noticed that the Activitypub network is now working well done guys @girish and all the team - i was wondering, if you could explain a bit how it works. Is it an independant activitypub server that is setup per ghost app ? Does it take more storage ?

[girish]

@jrl-abstract27 upstream Ghost runs an activity pub service that selfhosters can use (with limits) - https://docs.ghost.org/hosting#hosted-activitypub-usage-limits . AFAIK, it does not take any more storage.
