Checking htop on #footiMac after two weeks of operations with its upgraded resources, and new responsibilities.

It is still far more responsive in all respects. Changes I've noticed:
1) very few web response delays for Mastodon retrieving posts/notifications or uploading pictures/videos.
2) when I logged in remotely before it would take a few seconds. Now it is nearly instant.
3) according to htop the loads are below 0.70 most of the time.
4) RAM usage has gone from 3.2GB (84%) to 6.3GB (40%)

Resources before: 4GB RAM - Dual-core i5 - 1TB HDD
After: 16GB RAM - Dual-core i5 - 1TB SSD.

Services before:
Mastodon
Small Web (3 static Twitter Archives)
local DNS Server

Services after:
Mastodon
Small Web (3 static Twitter Archives)
local DNS Server
Pixelfed
WeeWx Weather Server
HomeBridge Automation Server

Anyone have any trouble running Mastodon and/or Pixelfed on Debian 12 Bookworm? I'm considering updating my system from Debian 11. #selfhost #selfhosted #mastoadmin #pixelfedAdmin

Hey guess what! I made my own Pixelfed server! Federating is always a challemge on your own so If you are on pixelfed I would really really appreciate you finding me and following. If you're not on pixelfed but would still like to help my new instance federate, please boost so I can find more #pixelfed people!
I am @chris@pixelfed.chrisalemany.ca
Thanks!

OOooohhhh Ya. Add another feather in #footiMac's cap. Now running both Mastodon and Pixelfed.
We'll see how these co-exist!

Help! #PixelFed #PixelfedAdmin #Debian #Linux #NGinx #php

I've got all the processes running for pixelfed *except*, when I try to connect to the website I am getting a socket error:

connect() to unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock

The socket should be, according to my settings in /etc/php/8.2/fpm/pool.d/pixelfed.conf :
/run/php/pixelfed.sock

But it doesn't seem to be honouring it and I can’t figure out where that incorrect socket setting is coming from.

Anyone out there have any ideas?
#techhelp #LinuxHelp

Looking through the install procedure, the one big conflict that I see potentially is REDIS. I don't believe Mastodon required any changes to the REDIS configuration, but Pixelfed is asking for it to be run on a socket rather than a network connection.

This feels like it could break Mastodon. #selfhosted #pixelfed #mastodon #mastoAdmin #pixelfedAdmin

@dansup@mastodon.social @dansup@pixelfed.social @pixelfed

Looking for #Pixelfed admins and definitive #PixelfedAdmin reddit to advise me on some self-hosted Pixelfed installation issues. Any advice or who/where would be much appreciated.

Update: Dan suggested the Pixelfed matrix and discord.
@Yehuda@turtleisland.art

Secondly, I've made a small docker container which automatically generates SSL certs, and then forwards the traffic to any other container for processing. (Also called a reverse proxy)

You can use this with any existing setup and never have to deal with SSL certs again.

It supports multiple domains if you're like me and have one webserver that routes multiple websites

The README has an example docker-compose.yml to get you started

#pixelfed #PixelfedAdmin

Hey everyone! Back from holidays with a few goodies:

First, I've created a small repository to generate customized pixelfed docker images. Both the apache and php-fpm variants are supported. You can use mine directly, e.g. with `docker pull ghcr.io/intentionally-left-nil/pixelfed-fpm:latest` or :alpha to get the dev version.

It's also super simple to fork my repository, and manage the builds yourselves:

#pixelfed #pixelfedadmin

Storj DCS isn't suitable for Pixelfed or Mastodon instances because of the segment limit.
Also the pricing is pretty complicated 😕..
Now I want to migrate to Scaleway. Any thoughts?

#storj #s3 #pixelfed #mastoadmin #pixelfedadmin #fediadmin

Just fired up my own @pixelfed instance. It seems the instagram import feature is different than what is on https://pixelfed.social 🤔? (Same version, v0.11.8) #pixelfed #pixelfedadmin #instagramImport

Successfully upgraded coma.pictures to #Debian #Bookworm. ✅ #PixelfedAdmin

제한은 파일 용량과 퀄리티 뿐이라서 리사이즈 안 할 줄 알았는데…… 막상 다 구축하고 올려보니 5160x2160을 1920x804로 난도질.
당황스럽다. 리사이즈+옵티마이즈를 같이하는데 리사이즈만 막을 방법이 없다는 얘기인가?

Something like Reels on @pixelfed would be cool 😎 ... Then we'll be able to forget Tiktok and Instagram easily!

Any Pixelfed admins here who successfully use #Contabo #S3Storage for their instance?

Another Example: This Post https://milliways.social/@mcfly/110213254930627351 is clearly visible from Mastodon, I see it in the Horizon Queue in Pixelfed but it just is not there as you can see here: https://pixelfed.jascha.wtf/p/jascha/553495719516459048

Anyone any idea what is going wrong? #mastoadmin #pixelfedadmin

Heya #Mastoadmin and #pixelfedadmin all over here! I recognize a strange thing: A reply to a Pixelfed-Post from Mastodon is clearly visible on Mastodon (https://toot.jascha.wtf/@QueerPinata@strangeobject.space/110212790719112464) but it does not make it to the pixelfed instance. I just find nothing in Logs. What should and could I do to debug this?

#PixelfedAdmin #Pixelfed

Do I really need #S3Storage to store remote avatars? Is is not possible to store them locally?

#FediHelp #Pixelfed #PixelfedAdmin #S3Storage

I have configured Pixelfed with S3 storage support. S3 storage provider is #Contabo .

New images are uploaded to the S3 bucket (and also stored locally), but Pixelfed can't show them ("No preview available"). Firefox' network monitor reports a HTML status 401 ("Unauthorized").

My S3 configuration:

PF_ENABLE_CLOUD="true"
FILESYSTEM_CLOUD="s3"
FILESYSTEM_DRIVER="s3"
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="<access_key>"
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="<secret_key>"
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="EU"
AWS_BUCKET="<bucket_name>"
AWS_URL="https://eu2.contabostorage.com/<bucket-name>/"
AWS_ENDPOINT="https://eu2.contabostorage.com"
AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT="true"

Anyone who know what's wrong with my configuration?

Would you like to be an administrator of a #Pixelfed instance?
