Pixelfed, Federated Image Sharing

[scooke]

@doodlemania2 Just did it, worked well, thanks. But it seems to start out with 256MB of ram, and crashes right away. Anyway to have it start with more ram?

@scooke Latest MR is not merged yet. I am increasing RAM in this one:
https://git.cloudron.io/doodlemania2/pixelfed/-/merge_requests/4/diffs?commit_id=bba93ea1da4da8c83388014361ea85db120b1bb3

However, my first test shows that it is still not enought. For me, this only happens after setup. After this it runs smooth, even with 256MB of RAM.

@stantropics Interesting, yes, I noticed the same thing. But I increased the ram anyway to 2048.

@scooke That is what I do, but it might not be possible for users with smallers instances.

@stantropics true

Thanks a lot I will take a look soonish. Looks like all the hard works is done!

[doodlemania2]

I've merged that in @stantropics ... @girish may not accept it for production given it uses /app/data, but maybe!

Hi, based on this thread it seems PixelFed might be headed to the App Store? If yes, is there a ballpark on timing? I'm stoked to add this but trying to decide whether I should wait for the App Store or do it manually now.

[doodlemania2]

Yep! I hear they are working on it soonish. +@girish FYI

@mattp Honestly I'd wait. If you need ActivityPub right now, Nextcloud has an addon you can install to enable it. Which would allow you to speak to friendica, Matodon, pleroma, etc etc.

Then once this is in the appstore, you can move your data.

@doodlemania2 I have started the work here https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/pixelfed-app

Pixelfed is now published in unstable Thanks a lot @doodlemania2 , I will lock this thread. I have created a category for pixelfed under apps.
