Friendica - A Decentralized Social Network
-
@robi looks like @rmdes is running Known on the LAMP stack:

Be nice if there were an actual app for it though!
-
@jdaviescoates yep running it via the LAMP stack but really wish this was a cloudron app, using postgres instead of mysql and with redis enabled, then if the app could use the composer env of how Known is currently being developed that would really be neat for upgrades

@rmdes said in Friendica - A Decentralized Social Network:
WithKnown
withKnown is very efficient too to share with other network
I guest to help the question I raised earlier:
Friendica: it focus on Federation: if you the goal is to inter connect with other network such as FB, Twitter, Mastodon, ...
Hubzilla: if the goal is to focus on privacy and close group- Hubzilla is decentral publishing of all kinds of things with a fine rights management. - Friendica is decentral social networking with a fine management of who you socialize with and connections to many other social networks.

Would be sooooo good to have frindica as a supported app for cloudron !
Two friends tied to make it work on cloudron and not getting it work with LAMP....
Please, make it a cloudron App !
It is so important to have the option of an easy to install decentrelized social network ....and is so much needed in our current situation !
Who can help to make it work ?
-
There are so many people ready to leave facebook...and friendica would be an easy to install alternative, if there would be a docker for cloudron...
someone started a while ago...
https://github.com/M-arcus/friendica-docker-image -
I just found this:
https://friendi.ca/2020/01/11/friendica-now-has-an-official-docker-image/
perhaps its now much easier to build a docker for cloudron and make friendica a cloudron app ? -
Did anyone get this to work?
-
@YurkshireLad It works great in the lamp app!
-
@DanTheMan I forget the exact steps, but Friendica requires a 5-min cron job to run, this can be done in lamp by adding the cron string to a file in /app/data (I think just crontab?? I can't find info on it anymore but I know the feature was there a while back)

Thanks guys for all the great support and info
I have tried to make it happen. But after uploading the extracted (full friendica zip) content to the lamp stacks public folder, i only see a php page on the subdomain I have created with the lamp stack?
I have followed up this guide..
https://friendi.ca/resources/installation/
There's a section there in the guide that says: "Additionally, rename .htaccess-dist to .htaccess if youβre using the Apache web server."
I did change that file before uploading to the stacks public folder.I must say that i have been successful last week, by installing a lamp stack with Prestashop on it. It's been running smoothly since then.
The silly thing is i am doing the same thing here with Friendica as i did with Prestashop last week. Unzip, extract and upload to the public folder of the Lamp stack. From there it was just a web based setup. -
Is here any update? I think cloudron could be an amazing tool to bring more people into the fediverse apps.
