Oh that's dope. How many hours are you running? Do you also use them for things like encoding or something like that?

Sweet!

What's up is everything I've been running and down is what I haven't.

not working

I haven't been able to get friendica to connect to Maria DB, so I'll eventually try just MySql. Grafana isn't running bc I would need to change a lot of things to get an exporter into each container and the truenas apps don't really allow that configuration - fine if you have docker compose though, which I've started doing more and more.

new

I just got up and running with Stirling pdf, a free (and paid) PDF editor. That looks pretty sweet.

But I'm now also using 15GB of the 32 on the system, which is still plenty for Arc cache for me

what I want

I want to rent a VPS to host various fediverse apps, probably Lemmy, pixelfed, and write freely to start, for the nomad/expect communities. I've been looking at netcup and they have some decent arm offerings.

I'd like to put Talos Linux on it so I can get some kubernetes experience. They have a good sized server for €10, so I could expand to add a DB server or one specifically for logging and metrics.

I was looking at Hetzner, but I've read that their block storage is super slow and causes timeouts on DB.

Of course, can I even run these apps on arm? I guess I gotta find that out.

One thing I'd like to do is make a web page that makes signups super easy and would create an account on all services, ideally. Not a huge deal of that isn't reasonable, but it'd be nice to allow doing it once rather than multiple times. If I could get sso, that'd be good, but I don't know how supported that is.

I'm actually watching a video about that, complete with studies and everything.

Unfortunately no, it's just one log line over and over. At some point it did have the username and IP, but it usually contains neither.

It didn't really change when I put the db in the same compose file. I have them on the same docker network, so any container can reference any other container by its name, in this case mariadb and access any ports, not just the ones that are exposed.

Evidence for this working is that MariaDB is logging the rejected connection attempts.

Now that I'm looking at it again, I wonder if I can get rid of some of this stuff 🤔

Thank you for the help. Here is the last set of configurations that I was running.
Edit: this is running on my TrueNas server.

docker file in the config folder

FROM friendica:friendica

RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/config
COPY addon.config.php /usr/src/config/

That was quite an emotional read. I felt brought in to the author's situation as I read. Thank you for sharing it

How does your skin do in the sun?

Thanks for the write up! It's definitely got my curiosity

this looks pretty cool. Have you read it? What do you think about it?

you'd probably be better off setting up your own domain server and trying to get that working
