I might be putting up a @pears instance on pears.cc soon, when I'm into the mood of filling out the .env file :tom_scott:. Interesting concept though, piqued my interest.
@pears will do! Nah it's just that I am a tad busy right now, I have seen far worse documented alpha stage projects! And in fact I found every env part explained after looking a bit further. Thanks :eichkatzo:
@pears should have checked the docker hub before trying the docker installation 😅 "no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries", guess I'll build from source!
@pears okay thanks, https://pears.cc is up and running. I am missing a clue on how administrating it (is there an admin acc?) works and registration ends in a gateway timeout, besides that some kind of search index is existing, don't know from where though.
@SolSoCoG Great stuff! Nice! You're right, the admin creation is stuff is missing from the docs, will add. There is a CLI command for that. You can run:
@pears cool, those worked, so it did: PATH /app/app Installed languages: ['en'] solsocog is now admin.
Are those healthy settings? path /app/app? Am I supposed to login via /auth/login ? The email is not accepted there and password reset also times out, is it because I've set MAIL_PORT to 465? Thanks!
@pears it shows my nick, mail and True True, yes, is 24 chars alphanumeric pw too much maybe? I've set mailport to the unencrypted smpt port 25 now and it instantly throws bad gateway, same goes for registration.
@pears yeah 25 is plain, which doesnt allow smtp auth, 465 is ssl and 587 starttls which is the way to go in this case! So far pretty neat, but how is it detecting other instances? Is there a bootstrap url or something? Appreciate the support so far, thank you.
@SolSoCoG Ah, cool. Indeed, I just checked and we had set the password limit to 20 chars but stupidly, the CLI doesn't take that into account. And hm... we should be looking into those email ports, that's annoying 🙄
Thank you so much for your patience. It's hugely useful to have people try this out. We now know better what to fix!!
@SolSoCoG That's one of things that we are still working on. For now, there is a nasty centralised file in the top directory called .known_instances.txt which records... well, known instances. If you want to add your instance you can submit a pull request or just tell us. Obviously, this is only temporary but until now we were busy with getting the actual search to work 😅
