I have a question about snac.

I have Mastodon at gamerplus.org.

I want to install snac2 at snac.gamerplus.org.

If in the future, if I want the snac2 instance to be at gamerplus.org how difficult is that?

Is it a reconfiguration or is it a reinstall and transfer data?

Or can I just do it with DNS?

I would probably like for it to continue to work at snac.gamerplus.org too, to avoid linkrot.

What is the best way to change domains or add a domain to an existing snac2 server?

Thanks

      I spent the morning hacking up a way to have populate the Explore section of with trending posts, news, and hashtags. It’s really just piggybacking off of mastodon.social’s explore API, but it’s better than nothing at all!

          Recap for an activitypub instance. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

          OK let's recap.
          I have a GMKtec nucbox G3, Intel n100, 512gb ssd, 16gb ram.

          • mastodon-glitchsoc: no. Or for a small instance. Too heavy.
          • Sharkey: no. Or for a small instance. Too heavy, and too ma'y informations on the screen.
          • Mitra: no. Could have been good one, but users can write stuff and make it readable only if you pay with XRM (or other crypto shit)
          • Iceshrimp: no. The dev is random.
          • Hubzilla: why not. But doesn't work properly with my yunohost setup.
          • BonFire: why not. But nobody knows it. There is no mobile app so far, but it's planned.
          • Akkoma: why not, but it's he'll to install.
          • Gotosocial: why not. But there is no UI, need to use phanpy, phanpy doesn't have mobile app and needs to be pinned on the screen. Other mobile apps take GTS in charge though. Haven't found anything bad until now.
          • Hollo: why not, but when it will be on Yunohost, otherwise I don't want to use a specific service (railway, as apparently it's the fastest way to install it)
          • Snac2: why not, probably the simplest to set up, lightweight. But need an nginx to point the domain on the software, and need a reverse proxy.

            Snac2 fedi 服务器 使用指南

            1. 目前不支持 wss://,不知道代表了什么,至少目测没有公开时间轴,relay约等于摆设
            2. snac2 适合1c1g的超低配用户,据我所知snac基本上全都是个人实例、不对外开放注册,中文snac2实例一只手数的过来,去fedi列表里找基本大海捞针。如果你要发消息给snac2实例上的人,实测私信是有可能收不到的,你可能需要找到我的帖子,然后 at 我+ 公开,不然问就是看不到(已经联合的不知道还是不是这样,其实也可以点个follow)。更新!这居然是一个feature!你可以去网页端设置里面选。
            3. 下面的配置文件retry可以调小一点,反正收不到就是收不到。你可能要apt install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev,不记得是不是误解了什么,反正装一个又不会死;总之就是编译一个snac,apt install lighttpd (+启用tls、proxy拓展)的反代就完事了,或许也可以直接用cloudflared
            4. 有服务器了为啥不吃点好的呢?

                      Exactly one year ago, on 30th December 2024, I laid the foundation of FediMeteo.

                      I took a VM, installed FreeBSD, and set up the first jail to support Italy. The goal was to create a tool for my own use, support a few countries, and announce it.

                      Unexpectedly, the enthusiasm was incredible. That pushed me to keep going, support more countries and cities, and turn it into what it is today.

                      FediMeteo now supports 38 countries and 2,937 cities, with more than 7,700 followers in the Fediverse alone, not counting the many people who follow via RSS feeds or visit the web pages.

                      If you are curious to read the story and some technical details, you can find it here:

                      Today is also Tuesday, a , so I want to say thanks to:

                      • OpenMeteo - @openmeteo@fosstodon.org - for providing accurate, high quality data, without which FediMeteo would be far less useful
                      • @grunfink@comam.es - creator of snac, who made all of this possible using very few resources, on a 4 euro per month VM
                      • FreeBSD, which thanks to the efficiency of the OS and its jail implementation made it possible to run this service in a stable and efficient way with minimal effort
                      All of you, who suggested, encouraged, corrected, and celebrated this project

                      And forward toward supporting more countries and other interesting features already in the works.

                      Happy birthday, FediMeteo! 🎉

                          number of files generated by snac is huge, but i don't care that much anymore.

                          i like snac a lot: i run my own server and client, i can modify css (and i do tweak it often, i can modify the source code---didn't get to that yet ;)

                          sometimes i use snac command line, but mostly snac web ui and nothing else.

                          someday maybe i'll try to build some minimalist server, but looks like a lot of work :)

                            OpenBSD wasn't able to run snac stable on this machine, it crashed after a few requests with "illegal instruction".
