Pixelfed

Hi all,
Pixelfed is now available in the app store. Most of the packaging work was done by @doodlemania2 (thanks!)Code: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/pixelfed-app
App store link: https://cloudron.io/store/org.pixelfed.cloudronapp.html
Docs: https://cloudron.io/documentation/apps/pixelfed/ -
Just a heads up : the package doesn't have any tests yet and I haven't tested the federation as well.
-
I have a test instance up with this app (https://pixel.mobiledads.live) and during install I got the following error(s):
Jun 17 12:53:37 ==> Updating pixelfed Jun 17 12:53:37 fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .gitThis didn't prove to be an issue now, but down the road it might be. Otherwise, I am testing the app. Anyone who wants to test but doesn't want an unstable app on their server can freely join my instance - just note it can be deleted and reinstalled any time
-
@girish woohoo! Thanks both. Now to see how hard it is to get all my images off Flickr and into pixelfed
-
-
I am still trying to figure out federation setup. If someone has insight into this, please leave a note here. It looks like we have to setup webfinger or equivalent?
-
@girish isn't webfinger a thing already enabled in pixelfed? The only caveat I can see is pixelfed being installed to a subdomain but users are using main domain as username:
Instance URL:
pixelfed.example.com
Username:@murgero@example.comThe above requires webfinger to translate from the main domain afaik.
As for federation - I believe just enabling ActivityPub (which it is already in the app afaik) it should just work so long as the URLs match:
Instance URL:
pixelfed.example.com
Username:@murgero@pixelfed.example.comIf someone else has an instance, can they PM me their profile URL? I'll try to follow you to see if federation is working properly.
-
@murgero I've whacked up a test instance at images.uniteddiversity.coop so you could try jdaviescoates@images.uniteddiversity.coop (the only user I've created so far)
-
@jdaviescoates said in Pixelfed:
jdaviescoates
I tried tagging you - but it fails it looks like. (Tag for you AFAIK should be
@jdaviescoates@images.uniteddiversity.coop)Edit: Though I THINK I followed successfully?
-
-
@jdaviescoates Safe to say federation is technically working, idk if it's working well tho - your server didn't poll my profile it looks like.
-
I read on the pixelfed matrix channel that in order to receive new posts you need to follow a person (obviously) and some person of that instance needs to follow you so that instance knows that your instance exists.
-
@jdaviescoates@images.uniteddiversity.coop
Followed you also - took the search box a few tries to pull up your profile, but it finally kicked in!
-
@doodlemania2 huh - I don't see your follow.
I am going to reconfigure my instance with mastodon so we can test actual federation.
-
Alright, please also follow @hyper@social.mobiledads.live - this is a known working instance of Mastodon, and I can debug connections from pixelfed as well.
-
-
I am following back everyone that follows me. So if you need to debug federated follow, you can follow me as well!
I also just sent out a status update via mastodon so can any pixelfed users report if they see it?
-
You can add me too! @scooke@lenote.eu.
-
-
To be honest I'm not getting what the heck is going on. I can see you are following me @jdaviescoates but when I click on you from within my Pixelfed dashboard, which brings me to your site, and see your pic and try to like it, I see that I am now not at my Pixelfed and apparently need to login to your Pixelfed instance to do anything. ? And I see nothing about Mastodon in my Pixelfed dashboard either.
