Mastodon - microblogging

[fbartels]

It seems to achieve this one just needs to proxy a "well-known" document from the root domain to where mastodon is actually running:

Need something like this.
It would be better if it were lighter.

@legacy If you need a more light weight alt - NExtcloud has support for ActivityPub (enable in admin -> Apps) and GNUSocial's protocol as well.

@legacy Or Pleroma.

I have published this app to unstable. It supports both "open registration" as well as "only for cloudron users" login modes.

Heads up, there seems to be an issues logging in with users with a "." in the username, such as "user.admin"
It gives an HTTP ERROR 422.
When trying to make that user admin, the terminal responds: No user with such username

@will Seems similar to https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/11277 .

From what I can tell ".", "_" and "-" are allowed as per https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/f86ee4b59f25727d248609e0afe277a4f69f6be7/app/models/account.rb#L52 . So maybe this is a LDAP adapter bug that we need to report upstream.

https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/6830 is the exact issue!

Thank you for working hard on Mastodon for Cloudron!
I wonder if we can set different domains for LOCAL_DOMAIN from WEB_DOMAIN.

LOCAL_DOMAIN is a part of mastodon username such as user@example.com.
WEB_DOMAIN is for mastodon instance itself https://mastodon.example.com.

It would be super cool if we can make it like that on Mastodon app on Cloudron too.

@hiyukoim It's not possible within Cloudron at this point. Check out my suggestion, Serve federated apps from root domain.

[girish]

@yusf @hiyukoim Please see https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2038/serve-federated-apps-from-root-domain/12 . I guess it's possible to support LOCAL_DOMAIN/WEB_DOMAIN but from whta I can tell if you do this, then user@example.com can only be used in mastodon and no other app. You can't use any other ActivityPub supported apps in parallel. Please correct me if I am wrong in the other thread.
