Pleroma

[yusf]

Pleroma just hit version 1.0 so that might be a new reason to consider it.

[murgero]

Just to note: Nextcloud natively supports ActivityPub now. It has a beta UI to interact with Pleroma, Mastodon, etc etc.

Just enable the Nextcloud Social plugin to get started.

@murgero That's interesting! But then the Nextcloud app would need to be installed too the root domain or else the id would become something like nextcloud.domain.tld. There need to be some kind of native root domain support for federation IDs in Cloudron.

[murgero]

@yusf Cloudron supports installing apps to the root domain, Nextcloud I believe would fall into that as well. As for Federation ID's this would be handled by Nextcloud, not Cloudron.

[yusf]

@murgero Yes, that's what I'm saying too. But that also means you need to have frigging NextCloud as your domain's main service. More usually users wants a web site at that localtion.

Pleroma is way less resource intensive than Mastodon. Would love to see this app supported. It also has a chat system that works with everyone on the same instance.

Still looking forward to this project. MASTODON is clumsy like an elephant, making the server strenuous.

I also note that

While we don’t provide docker files, other people have written very good ones. Take a look at https://github.com/angristan/docker-pleroma or https://glitch.sh/sn0w/pleroma-docker.

The 2.0 version was updated a few days ago, and it can replace mastodon well.

@jdaviescoates These dockers seem to be very old and don't seem to work well.

Ah, shame.

@jdaviescoates Here’s something from 9 days ago: https://github.com/goodtiding5/docker-pleroma

I believe 2.0.0 of Pleroma is out.

[yusf]

As the Mastodon requirements are rising well above 1GB of memory, Pleroma is becoming more relevant

[A Former User]

@yusf I think it's definitely worth looking at. I believe it includes the Mastodon web front end as well as its own web client.
If I knew what I was doing I'd try to package it but I don't have my own Cloudron server up and running yet.

[doodlemania2]

Happy to look at packaging it for you. May need some testers. Currently tilting between seatable and this as my next attempt.
+@mehdi just FYI

@jdaviescoates @doodlemania2

I'm not going to package these myself (because they are not apps that I would use myself). However, I would be glad to give a hand if someone tries to package it and runs into problems

[doodlemania2]

@mehdi - was just CCing you for awareness I may give it a go and bug you for assistance like we did with pixelfed
