This tutorial is an adaption of the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️ based on the experience of the installation report by @…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup:https://squeet.me/display/962c3e10-5765-2e86-4a15-589579746174
and specific help by @Raroun.
Server specs and friendica version used:
VPS server | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk
Friendica [STABLE] | 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518
SPOILER - click to open/close || Installation environment and HowTo
The only reasonable way to work with a VPSserver on the web is using the console.If you are not familiar with that don't worry, it is easy and the only thing you have to do is being able to copy/paste the commands displayed:
¡
Copy/paste only the codeBoxes like this one, located outside of the spoilers of this tutorial one after another without altering the sequence!Of course it is necessary to change the specific file names and passwords for you indiviual site, but that's all. promise!
On the console you wont be able to copy/paste with the keyboard ctrl-C/ctrl-V technique, you'll have to use the mouse "right click, chose option" technique.
This tutorial was created on a #debian #linux desktop environment.
There shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
The method used for communication between your local computer and the VPS server is called #SSH:
Wikipedia - Secure Shell:
"Cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers."

friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS
@Friendica Support
Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.
As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.
This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.
I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.

#fediVerse #tutorial #fediHelp #activityPub
To begin with @Hypolite Petovan, the original idea is to offer for example to projects like @YunoHost :neopossum_box: or @Castopod :podcasting2: a profile on forum.friendi.ca, the same way our very @Friendica Support works.
Most #fediVerse platforms have profiles on their own platform and/or a #mastodon profile, because that's the kinda standard thought and behavior. But actually to me it looks like the #friendica #communityForum page capabilities exceed by far what mastodon or others have to offer. Well, I haven't digged into the fedi clone of reddit to see if that would be an even better option. What is true tho is that forum.friendi.ca is already long standing and our community has gone a long way, so there is in general terms "no single point of failure" like in other projects that depend on one main figure and that's it.
I consider our helpers community experience here, with all the followers of our helpers page getting resend the help requests posted to the forum, chiming in to help out and solve issues, very positive. So this is a proven setup and could help lot's of other projects out here too. Actually I do think that if implemented and adopted, it even could have a positive feed back loop for friendica itself, but that's like something on another page.
So having forum.friendi.ca already up and running, why not support the fediVerse community opening our doors to those who fulfill certain basic community standards?
This server here (tupambae.org) as well is only mend to be a forum server, and of course it's doors are open for any #fediPlatform that likes to have an own forum page over here, yet somehow to me it look's like forum.friendi.ca is the first natural and ideal candidate for something like that.
Of course same goes for a #fediAdmin, #activityPub or #APIdeveloppers community support forum, if that is desired or useful.
Right now in general terms the fedi lives on using some tags or maybe some a.gup.pe addresses, but it's actually us who hold and develop that option for more than a decade now inside the federation itself.
Was that more clarifying

@hypolite?
[strong]Frage: Warum wird in Friendica ein weitergesagter Beitrag von einen anderen Friendica Account anders als ein weitergesagter Beitrag von einen anderen via ActivityPub verbundenen Account behandelt?[/strong]
Wenn ich einen Beitrag von einen Friendica Account normal weitersage, also nicht zitiere, sieht das so aus:
Wenn ich hingegen einen Beitrag der via ActivityPub kommt weitersage sieht das so aus:
Hat es einen Hintergrund das das so unterschiedlich gehandhabt wird? Die Variante mit dem weitergesagten Beitrag von einen Friendica Account sieht eher wie das Zitieren aus, dass man bei einen Diaspora Account hat.

@raroun Nein, nicht abstrus, sonderen dem Zweck angepasste Plattform auswählen.
#Friendica ist Micro- und Macroblogging
#Pixelfed ist fürs Teilen von Bildern.
Dea ist eben das #Fediverse. Es gibt nicht die ein und alle Plattform für ein und alles. Sondern es gibt verschiedene Dienste - sie sind alle über #ActivityPub verbunden.

Frage | Wenn ich einen fremden Kommentar bei einen meiner Beiträge lösche, wird das dann auch auf via ActivityPub verbundenen Server gelöscht oder nur bei mir?
Hintergrund ist das eben jemand meinte das das dann eben anscheinend nur bei mir gelöscht würde, was in meinen Augen recht sinnfrei wäre.

I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

what VPS offer fits best for a small friendica instance?
@Friendica Support
@Friendica Admins
@Friendica Developers
Hi there,
in the end I want to try to setup my first own hosted friendica VPS on a small setup:
1gig RAM/1 Core/25gig
The idea is kinda single user instance with a few forum pages.
The hosting provider has the following options:
- debian bullsey - vpn server
- debian bookworm - wireguard server
- debian bookworm - bookworm 2023-07-03
- debian bookworm - bookworm 2023-07-03 LEMP (nginx+php8.2+mariaDB10.5)
- debian bookworm - nextcloud
- ubuntu 22.04.01LTS
- CENTOS8.1 - 2020-05-03
- cleanVPS to upload own ISO
I'm used to debian/devuan on PC, so am obviously inclined to go for debian but have no idea what version would be the best choice.
In the first place the debian LEMP option looks like the way to go.
Latest experience with a new friendica installation seemed to be in need of PHP8.1 instead of PHP8.2.
Is it difficult to downgrade that?
Also, I'm kinda worried about security in general, even tho the data exposed will only be my own, so there is no responsibility with others.
Are there more security risks than on a shared hosting with let's say a standard phpBB forum page?
The idea would be to point the IP from my existing hosting provider to the VPS.
- Do we have some general "how to setup" for a VPS setting from scratch?
- Anyone interested in creating such a "how to" in a conversation with me here to have a refence or base to sum that up for the frindica wiki?
- Could it even be of interest to create a "friendica VPS-ISO installation" with the help of git.friendi.ca for example?

are there "best practice" PHP Versions?
Hi there @Friendica Support,
I wonder if there are PHP versions to recommend when running friendica.
In older versions (2019-12 + 2021.01-04) I experienced problems when creating connections getting "The network type couldn't be detected. Contact can't be added." messages using PHP 7.4 (as the install instruction stated 7.1 or higher).
After downgrading to 7.1 it looked like connecting started to work well.
Right now I'm working on a new VPS for tupambae.org:
(it's a beta testing of a hoster) but some how not everything works as expected.
I just tried to contact the public forum @Rugby from this profile here.
Over here, the contact is displayed as follows:
but over there this profile doesn't show up.
No problems for now with establishing connections with mastodon profiles and I just tested a friendica 2021.01 profile and that worked to.
Should I downgrade the PHP version and if so to which one?
Also, I posted a help request to the helpers page about how to set up the forum pages properly as the don't work "as expected" but it doesn't look to me as if the post was received by the helpers forum:

Frage | Friendica: Federiert Friendica schneller zu Diaspora als zu ActivityPub?
Kann es sein das von Friendica aus die Federierung zu und von Diaspora wesentlich schneller als zu und von ActivityPub ist? Ich hatte jetzt schon mehrmals den Fall das ich auf Diaspora nach kürzester Zeit Reaktionen auf meine Beiträge bekam, während Reaktionen von anderen via ActivityPub verbundenen Servern erst ein gutes Stück später Reaktionen eintrödelten.
#Frage #Friendica #Federation #Diaspore #ActivityPub #2023-07-13 !Friendica Support
(Sowohl der Kommentar auf den Beitrag als auch die 'Gefällt mir', kommen alle von Diaspora Nutzern)
!Friendica Support Is it possible to have posts show in a lemmy community? e.g. is it enough to use !keyword to have this post show in lemmy community !keyword ?
If not, what would be needed to cover this? I lack so much knowledge about #activitypub and federation that I am unsure if this question is smart or stupid, but dipping my toes in lemmy waters, it is a question that has been spinning in my head.
