My new video about setting up akkoma fediverse activitypub server has been published https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDCvCkSWKak
akkoma is hardfork of pleroma. After pleroma caught itself in web of politics, feature creep and bloat, alternatives emerged. Akkoma is one of them.
Some highlights, comparing to pleroma:
- removed ssh/gopher frontend support
- removed chats
- removed scrobling support
- other stuff slowing down server were chopped off
- added elasticsearch and meilisearch support
- EDIT posts 🔦
In a nutshell, what I do in video:
- order cheapest cloud server
- setup basic security measures
- “boost” it with enormous swapfile
- build & install akkoma
- cloudflare Argo tunnel for security & ingress
- some tweeks instance to lower threat & spam
