  • But do we need some kind of SSO layer with DID verification? All I need to prove my identity anywhere, technically, is my private+public keypair. As long as I hold on to this keypair, distribute it between apps/computers, back it up, I could log in anywhere on a federated platform and use it.

    I hope we’re going to see key-based decentralized identity on ActivityPub at some point… Having accounts tied to instances is just not very robust or scalable.























  • I think it’s an exciting season so far, as long as you ignore Max a bit. Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin competing. Drivers and teams up and down the field struggling sometimes and excelling other times. Clear rules, which sometimes seem a bit silly but remove a lot of the arbitrary stewarding which I hated. Haas and Williams scoring points.

    Then again watching Max is also exciting. It’s Schumacher levels of dominance as he goes for every bit of pace on every race and every lap. Watching Max is watching a master athlete in his prime. That qualifying lap in Monaco was * chefs kiss *


  • YunoHost “packages” are just scripts. In the case of Lemmy, Lemmy_ynh’s install script actually fetches the Lemmy Docker image and extracts the files (including pre-built binaries) from it. And then it writes the config files to use the system Psql instance instead of a containerized version.

    FWIW I don’t care how YunoHost installs the apps. Whether it’s fetching and running containers, or building from source, or grabbing binaries. As long as the apps work and the reverse proxy gets wrangled it’s fine with me. Just in this case refusing to run the Docker images directly is, at least momentarily, a problem for updating the app.


  • Well it is “working” for me. I’m using a YunoHost Lemmy 0.16.7 to type this comment :). But I agree there should be some kind of warning on the project that it’s only really partially working, and very outdated (thanks to the recent flurry in activity and changes).

    Mainly though I wish YunoHost would just support Docker idiomatically and install Lemmy “as intended”. Yeah Docker can be a bit of a pain and it uses more resources, but it also has many real advantages like siloing the apps from the host system…



  • The main blocker, at least so far, was Lemmy is designed mainly to use use Docker containers to version itself and its main dependencies like Postgresql, while YunoHost runs on the bare system. And since YunoHost is still on Debian 11 it only has access to Postgresql 13 while Lemmy now wants 15. This unfortunately is hard to resolve. YunoHost doesn’t want to introduce Docker, and upgrading the entire platform to Debian 12 is slowly happening but it’s a lot of work.
