Tech has come a long way since then lol

Currently using Nextcloud AIO and it's pretty decent, though I've got 16 vCPU and 32 GB of RAM allocated to it right now, though it's only using 10% CPU and ~7 GB of RAM at the moment.

I think it takes a while to warm up once you start adding data to it, especially depending on the plug-ins you add and amount of data.

I should look into how to do that on my instance probably. Pictrs always seemed like a bit of a security nightmare.

What's everyone's workflows with these systems? Do you catalog both physical and digital documents? Where do you store the documents?

I disabled Pictrs around the time of CSAM attacks and have yet to bother enabling it again

Uhh… what?? When did that happen? I thought pictrs was a requirement also…

Huh, do you have your lemmy config documented somewhere? I keep running into issues with it and I'm not sure which component exactly is failing, but it's annoying. I'm using this helm chart currently: ananace/lemmy It works, but I don't have pict-rs setup in HA either.

They store the secrets in a file? Gross. What a poor way of handling that. Pretty sure environment variables would be more secure. Especially in Kubernetes.

Yeah, I used to host a Matrix instance - could do that for this one too.

The issue is more about setting up the Kubernetes manifests and templating them. I usually use the chart's built-in postgres and redis config, though using an operator would make it more scalable for sure.

I'm using Authentik for auth, but I do also like Keycloak.

I've seen that around, but I prefer to run my own services instead of relying on a ready-built system like that. I find they don't offer that much customization options usually.

I think both of the ones I mentioned have docker-compose files, which I think I can convert with kompose convert? I guess from there I would follow your steps and then start parameterizing it once it's running properly.

Thanks! I think I'll start trying out PixelFed tomorrow.

That's actually super helpful! I haven't done much custom Helm chart-ing, and was kinda lost where to start. That really helps break the process down, and the tip about skipping state to start is very wise.

Yeah, that's the pain point - building and maintaining the charts.

Also, I know the charts likely wouldn't have to be super complex, but I'm used to working with Bitnami's charts that are massively complex - I just don't have the time to go that in-depth.

I am running a Kubernetes cluster for this domain, and I'm looking at more services to run (right now I have Mastodon and Lemmy).

I was considering WriteFreely and PixelFed, but they don't seem to have an easy solution for running on Kubernetes (WriteFreely doesn't even have a production-ready docker image).

Is anyone else running federated services in their lab? Do you run any of them on Kubernetes?

 

I am wondering about the different fediverse software options and what would be best for various usecases.

Currently, I run a Mastodon and a Lemmy instance that is mostly just for myself, which is great for doing microblogging and link-aggregation/replacing Reddit. In the past I've also used various blog platforms for long-form text posts (documentation/guides), and to host some photography pics.

It feels like Mastodon isn't a good option for hosting long-form content (most instances have 500 char limits lol), nor would it be the best for trying to create a photo space akin to Instagram.

What software options would you recommend for either long-form blog posts or photo hosting? I know Pixelfed is an option (that I am looking into hosting), but is there a good blog option?

I think calckey can host pages and galleries, so it might be a good all-in-one solution? I'm not really sure.

p.s. If I export my content from Mastodon, shut down the instance, then bring up an instance of Calckey with the same domain/username, am I going to break things?
