30 to 70% of the objects in the object table are simple JSON objects containing a single field, 'id', being the context's ID. The reason for the creation of an object per context seems to be an old relic from the StatusNet era, and has only been used nowadays as an helper for threads in Pleroma-FE via the `pleroma.conversation_id` field in status views. An object per context was created, and its numerical ID (table column) was used and stored as 'context_id' in the object and activity along with the full 'context' URI/string. This commit removes this field and stops creation of objects for each context, which will also allow incoming activities to use activity IDs as contexts, something which was not possible before, or would have been very broken under most circumstances. The `pleroma.conversation_id` field has been reimplemented in a way to maintain backwards-compatibility by calculating a CRC32 of the full context URI/string in the object, instead of relying on the row ID for the created context object. |

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).
For clients it supports the Mastodon client API 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.
From Source
If your platform is not supported, or you just want to be able to edit the source code easily, you may install Pleroma from source.
- Alpine Linux
- Arch Linux
- CentOS 7
- Debian-based
- Debian-based (jp)
- FreeBSD
- Gentoo Linux
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
- OpenBSD (fi)
OS/Distro packages
Currently Pleroma is packaged for YunoHost. If you want to package Pleroma for any OS/Distros, we can guide you through the process on our community channels. If you want to change default options in your Pleroma package, please discuss it with us first.
Docker
While we don’t provide docker files, other people have written very good ones. Take a look at https://github.com/angristan/docker-pleroma or https://glitch.sh/sn0w/pleroma-docker.
Raspberry Pi
Community maintained Raspberry Pi image that you can flash and run Pleroma on your Raspberry Pi. Available here https://github.com/guysoft/PleromaPi.
Compilation Troubleshooting
If you ever encounter compilation issues during the updating of Pleroma, you can try these commands and see if they fix things:
mix deps.clean --allmix local.rebarmix local.hexrm -r _build
If you are not developing Pleroma, it is better to use the OTP release, which comes with everything precompiled.
