*a smallish microblogging platform, aka the cooler pleroma*
|
||||
|
||||
### Why though?
|
||||
|
||||
pleroma as a project has stagnated of late. after a spat between
|
||||
developers led to a fork (which died due to chronic lack of direction),
|
||||
nearly nobody seems to _want_ to work on it. this in addition to the
|
||||
BDFL being AWOL whenever needed, means that the entire project is
|
||||
nought but a power vacuum waiting for someone to step in. and with the
|
||||
track record pleroma has, i do not trust that whoever steps in will be
|
||||
good for the project.
|
||||
|
||||
thus, i am striking out on my own. i already had a few modifications
|
||||
on my instance, so it wasn't a particularly large leap to assume direct
|
||||
control.
|
||||
|
||||
### But really, why should I migrate to your thing?
|
||||
|
||||
aside from me actually being responsive? let's lookie here, we've got
|
||||
- custom emoji reactions
|
||||
- misskey markdown (MFM) rendering and posting support
|
||||
- elasticsearch support (because pleroma search is GARBAGE)
|
||||
- latest develop pleroma-fe additions
|
||||
- local-only posting
|
||||
- probably more, this is like 3.5 years of IHBA additions finally compiled
|
||||
|
||||
## Upgrading to Akkoma
|
||||
|
||||
### From source
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git remote set-url origin https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git/
|
||||
git fetch origin
|
||||
git pull -r
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then compile, migrate and restart as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
Then if you've done anything fancy to the frontend, you'll want to get the
|
||||
updates for that as well. This won't be the same for any two instances,
|
||||
so `https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/pleroma-fe` is the repo you need.
|
||||
|
||||
### From OTP
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export FLAVOUR=$(arch="$(uname -m)";if [ "$arch" = "x86_64" ];then arch="amd64";elif [ "$arch" = "armv7l" ];then arch="arm";elif [ "$arch" = "aarch64" ];then arch="arm64";else echo "Unsupported arch: $arch">&2;fi;if getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION>/dev/null;then libc_postfix="";elif [ "$(ldd 2>&1|head -c 9)" = "musl libc" ];then libc_postfix="-musl";elif [ "$(find /lib/libc.musl*|wc -l)" ];then libc_postfix="-musl";else echo "Unsupported libc">&2;fi;echo "$arch$libc_postfix")
|
||||
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl update --zip-url https://akkoma-updates.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud/develop/akkoma-$FLAVOUR.zip
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then restart. When updating in the future, can just use
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl update --branch develop
|
||||
```

## About
|
||||
|
||||
Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange messages with) other servers that support ActivityPub. What that means is that you can host a server for yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate with all servers that implement ActivityPub, like Friendica, GNU Social, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Misskey, Peertube, and Pixelfed.

|
||||
|
||||
Pleroma is written in Elixir and uses PostgresSQL for data storage. It's efficient enough to be ran on low-power devices like Raspberry Pi (though we wouldn't recommend storing the database on the internal SD card ;) but can scale well when ran on more powerful hardware (albeit only single-node for now).

Akkoma is written in Elixir and uses PostgresSQL for data storage.
|
||||
|
||||
For clients it supports the [Mastodon client API](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/guidelines/) with Pleroma extensions (see the API section on <https://docs-develop.pleroma.social>).

## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### OTP releases (Recommended)
|
||||
If you are running Linux (glibc or musl) on x86/arm, the recommended way to install Pleroma is by using OTP releases. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it. The installation instructions are available [here](https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/installation/otp_en/).

|
||||
### Compilation Troubleshooting
|
||||
If you ever encounter compilation issues during the updating of Pleroma, you can try these commands and see if they fix things:

@ -107,12 +42,5 @@ If you ever encounter compilation issues during the updating of Pleroma, you can
|

- `mix local.hex`
|
||||
- `rm -r _build`
|
||||
|
||||
If you are not developing Pleroma, it is better to use the OTP release, which comes with everything precompiled.

# Migrating to Akkoma
|
||||
|
||||
**Akkoma does not currently have a stable release, until 3.0, all builds should be considered "develop**
|
||||
|
||||
## Why should you migrate?
|
||||
|
||||
aside from actually responsive maintainer(s)? let's lookie here, we've got
|
||||
- custom emoji reactions
|
||||
- misskey markdown (MFM) rendering and posting support
|
||||
- elasticsearch support (because pleroma search is GARBAGE)
|
||||
- latest develop pleroma-fe additions
|
||||
- local-only posting
|
||||
- probably more, this is like 3.5 years of IHBA additions finally compiled
|
||||
|
||||
## Actually migrating
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you're very cool and have decided to move to the cooler
|
||||
fork of Pleroma - luckily this isn't very hard.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need to update the backend, then possibly the frontend, depending
|
||||
on your setup.
|
||||
|
||||
## From Source
|
||||
|
||||
If you're running the source Pleroma install, you'll need to set the
|
||||
upstream git URL then just rebuild - that'll be:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git remote set-url origin https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/akkoma.git/
|
||||
git fetch origin
|
||||
git pull -r
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then compile, migrate and restart as usual.
|
||||
|
||||
## From OTP
|
||||
|
||||
This will just be setting the update URL -
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export FLAVOUR=$(arch="$(uname -m)";if [ "$arch" = "x86_64" ];then arch="amd64";elif [ "$arch" = "armv7l" ];then arch="arm";elif [ "$arch" = "aarch64" ];then arch="arm64";else echo "Unsupported arch: $arch">&2;fi;if getconf GNU_LIBC_VERSION>/dev/null;then libc_postfix="";elif [ "$(ldd 2>&1|head -c 9)" = "musl libc" ];then libc_postfix="-musl";elif [ "$(find /lib/libc.musl*|wc -l)" ];then libc_postfix="-musl";else echo "Unsupported libc">&2;fi;echo "$arch$libc_postfix")
|
||||
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl update --zip-url https://akkoma-updates.s3-website.fr-par.scw.cloud/develop/akkoma-$FLAVOUR.zip
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl migrate
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then restart. When updating in the future, you canjust use
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl update --branch develop
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Frontend changes
|
||||
|
||||
Akkoma comes with a few frontend changes as well as backend ones,
|
||||
your upgrade path here depends on your setup
|
||||
|
||||
### I just run with the built-in frontend
|
||||
|
||||
You'll need to run a single command,
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# From source
|
||||
mix pleroma.frontend install pleroma-fe
|
||||
# OTP
|
||||
./bin/pleroma_ctl frontend install pleroma-fe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### I've run the mix task to install a frontend
|
||||
|
||||
Hooray, just run it again to update the frontend to the latest build.
|
||||
See above for that command.
|
||||
|
||||
### I compile the JS from source
|
||||
|
||||
Your situation will likely be unique - you'll need the changes in the
|
||||
[forked pleroma-fe repository](https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/pleroma-fe),
|
||||
and either merge or cherry-pick from there depending on how you've got
|
||||
things.
