   I'm doing some experiments with #Yunohost. I still think that #Hubzilla is the best federated social network but I'm afraid it might be difficult to deploy and heavy on the resources. Any thoughts?
   #self-hosting

     @joaopinheiro@zotum.net no Hubzilla is light on resources and you'll find all the info to deploy an instance in the .homeinstall directory. Oh and when you get your instance up and running, don't let the people at the Hubzilla support forum know that I said anything, because they all think that I'm a Nazi racist scumbag because of my domain name. Anyhow I have two hubzilla instances running because I love it so much. You can run an instance on one of those Linodes with 1GB Ram 25GB storage for $5/month.  You're welcome.

     You're welcome dude, I love Hubzilla and I thougt that it would be impossible to set one up for myself. I was wrong. If you clone the repo from https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core.git just cd into .homeinstall and read the README.md file for instructions. Also, be sure to read the file install/INSTALL.txt for things you may want to do after your installation, just to get a heads up.

     Another important file to worry about is .htconfig.php which will only be created after you confirm the name of the database and database user. You want to change the line that says  App::$config['system']['verify_email'] = 0;
     to this:  App::$config['system']['verify_email'] = 1;
     That way you'll be able to log into your instance by recieving a access code and log in right then without any hassle. Because if you don't do this, and since you dont have a SMTP server set up, you wont get an email anyway and you'll be unable to log in otherwise. So that step is important. Oh there's also a cron job you need to set up so that your instance will update to the newest version automatically. All this info, except the part about the .htconfig.php can be found in the install directory, install/INSTALL.txt. Just a heads up. Take your time when you do it and you'll be fine.

     @nanook@friendica.eskimo.com Well if it runs on 1GB RAM and 25GB of storage, then it will certainly run better on more.

     Well don't knock it until you know for sure. I have two of them running and I have no complaints. However, think whatever you will.

     Okay, when you rest up just install the addons. You're going to want to enable and install the activity pub add on that way you can interact with the fediverse.

     The easiest way to install all the addons is to gain access to the Admin menu, which is located on the menu at the top left, right where your profile photo is, about five paces down. Once you're in the Admin menu choose Addons and install the ones you want. I suggest Activitypub Friendica, Diaspora to begin with but I installed all of them except for the shopping cart.

     Well yes, I haven't been accepting registrations, that's probably why. Look, you're just going to have to take my word for it or not, either way, I'm happy about it.
