@matty @alex @graf @grey @Frankurino @Hoss Matty - Could you copy/paste your image in text, please?

1. Should it be like this? (below code)

2. If I add only the below five, only the following ‘five’ emojis will show up?

@alex Is this the same case with Rebased? If that is the case, if you scale up and throw in a bunch of more resources, what’s the upper limit? Is there a thing like, “Even if you throw in all the resources in the world, it won’t scale beyond __“?

/Apologies for digging up an old thread.

@alex I too thought that was the case - video going viral as it’s a ‘rare’ incident. My heart sank a bit for some of my friends living there ?

@alex Man! Must be tough to be a minority that’s disliked/looked down upon (or whatever). I won’t survive for a day. Being brought up in ‘mainland India’ and bullied as a ‘Chink’ or ‘Chinese’ back in school was hard enough (I’m from the NorthEast part of India and have East Asian features).

Fucks up your self-esteem for life. Americans are ‘tough’, no doubt.

/Mainland India = the India and Indians that you folks here would associate.

@alex Do people in America just go about arguing with or calling people names they don’t like even if they’re strangers? You know, pick up a fight or argue in random like in Walmart? Seeing all the rage videos makes me think that’s the case. Is my view point correct?

Er @alex or @ahmad

On running :

cp /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx

If I get

cp: cannot create regular file '/etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx': No such file or directory

What went wrong in the installation? I understand that it means the directory does not exist but when I manually created it and did a forced

ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx

I get a 502 Bad Gateway error. Is there a quick way to resolve this or do I need to start the installation all over again?

I also ran the replace example.tld step using

nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx

@ahmad @alex By next command, you mean this? I have done this.

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/pleroma.nginx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pleroma.nginx

@ahmad @alex Ran

ls -al /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx

Output:

-rw-r--r-- 1 pleroma pleroma 3752 Mar 10 17:16 /opt/pleroma/installation/pleroma.nginx

Ran

ls -al /etc/nginx/sites-available/

Output

First of all, I’m very happy that my name is being mentioned next to Alex’s when asking about rebased/soapbox

You’re a sysadmin. I trust you MORE than Alex ?

@ahmad @alex I however did get the certificate for this domain 21 hours ago and went about the installation again. Could that be the reason? However, the certbot installation step went smoothly with no too many certificates already issued errors.

@ahmad @alex Oh. Weird!

@ahmad @alex Output of ls -al /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

@ahmad @alex Oh. I did enter a password and didn’t rely on the autogenerated postgres password. Could that be the reason?

i.e. the step where the installer asks What shall be your database password?

@ahmad @alex No. I’m talking about the prompt we get during the installation where it asks for IP address [localhost] and postgres password [autogenerated] etc

@ahmad @alex Have raised a ticket with the web hosting company as they have installed Hestia Cpanel. Just wondering if that is the root cause and is overriding the pleroma.nginx file (a guess).

@ahmad @alex This web hosting company I’m talking about does not provide a fresh box and installs certain components e.g. Web email etc to make your life ‘easy’. Just checking with them if there’s some clash between the pleroma.nginx file with some file lying around in the server. That’s all

@ahmad @alex Cheap. That’s all. ?

It’s not super-expensive so no worries there.

@ahmad @alex UltaHost

@ahmad @alex I recall Alex(?) say that he didn’t have a very good experience with them. Or was it some hosting company in a Scandanavian country.

Anyhow. Reporting that I asked them to reformat the machine WITHOUT installing Hestia Cpanel. Installation went fine and all working now.

@alex But it’s so easy in WordPress. Why can’t Soapbox do that?

I’ll follow Matty Kun’s footsteps and react.

@alex I recall you replying to someone about the steps to change the domain name - in bullets. Was wondering if you have the link handy? Or any search term so I can look up here? Tried domain change or change domain but no luck.
