So far #littleFedi has been great!
Easy to set up with SQLite and just get going really quickly and uses a really tiny amount of resources - great stuff!
Had a little problem federating with my other instances, but that was my fault - I didn't have hairpin NAT in place from and to the VLAN they're all on 🙄
Seem to be having another issue with switching to notifications in Tusky crashes the app, but that'll get ironed out I'm sure.
I'd probably also like to switch to postgres at some point (preference not technical) - hopefully there'll be a migration here, otherwise I can probably hopefully migrate manually. If not, so be it - I shall remain on sqlite.
No other concerns to report right now! All is well.
How to install #littleFedi ? What is the defaut server ? I want to try on a vps is it possible
@tofeo@mstdn.social take a look at the docs at https://littlefedi.org
For a single instance it's real easy to set up, even on a cheap VPS. I think @stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social even tested/uses it on a 1€ per month VPS.
The only real criteria is you will probably need knowledge of how to set up a reverse proxy and how to get TLS certificates (letsencrypt is fine) but other than that it's really simple.
@tofeo@mstdn.social @stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social the documentation explains what you need to do, but you can pretty much download the binary, run littleFedi init, answer all the questions and be up and running.
You will need to use a reverse proxy though - caddy is probably the easiest, but nginx, Apache httpd, haproxy, traffic, etc. Can all do it.
