   In order for #decentralization to work, the server install process for services is going to *HAVE* to improve. If I'm interested in running a federated instance of a service, and the first thing I see is a 35-step tutorial about how to configure nginx or arcane PHP requirements, I'm going to bail.

   I think about Nextcloud, and how I installed a snap for it, and it's updated through 8 major upgrades of the service without me ever doing anything to admin it. That's where we need to get to.

     @tilvids Agreed. I went into detail about this exact thing: https://gabekangas.com/blog/2022/06/ship-software-not-code/

     In nixos, add to config:
     services.akkoma.enable = true;
     services.akkoma.config = {
     ":pleroma" = {
     ":instance" = {
     name = "My Akkoma instance";
     description = "More detailed description";
     email = "admin@example.com";
     registration_open = false;
     };
     
     "Pleroma.Web.Endpoint" = {
     url.host = "fediverse.example.com";
     };
     };
     };
