    Eh, I wish it wasn’t docker only.

    I want to apt install stuff or at least download and run a binary, but not docker.

      Well, it’s just a TS project with a very simple Dockerrile, you can just bun install && bun run prod.
      The rest of the dependencies aren’t included in the docker image.

      To be fair, I prefer nodejs/npm to have as little to do with my home folder as possible, and not have to worry about maintaining my own versions/updates/etc. as I am not a regular user of JS, don’t already have the toolchain(s) and don’t want to.

      This is about making your own personal instance of a microblog that’s ActivityPub enabled. It’s much lighter than running Mastodon that’s mean to be a hosting platform for a lot of users.

        Hmmm but that means my device (phone or computer) has to be online all the time for all features to work right?

            What is a VPS? If it’s a server, there’s nothing new here. I thought it’s a 2 in 1 client+server technology like you can do in old Minecraft Java versions (your machine is both a server and a client of its own server)

              Yes, it’s a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It’s not running on your machine locally, it’s the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.

                Huh I thought the servers were real and ran on bare metal of volunteers like it’s supposed to be
