@Friendica Support

Hi there,
I'm wondering about tweaking the #frio UI from the standard user backend, the standard admin backend and also "under the hood" in files themselfs if possible.

Are there some references to conversations, or links to tutorials or special hints and #fediTips?

SPOILER - click to open/close || IntroductionThis 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 HowToThe 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.

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.

To begin with I wonder what happens if our sites and profiles display CC-BY-SA-NC as #copyright notice. Any use by #AI scrapers should become illegal and indemnisation inforcable.
Also if you search for #robotsTXT in google, this is what you get.

A screen shot from today of a google search for robots.txt.
The informational text for standard questions by google itself reads:
"Is it illegal to scrape a site if there is no robots.txt present?

I don't understand what your question/comment is about.

The comment or answer (and post) ID is on every node the same, we call that "perma" or "permanent link":

Just click on the links and have a look.

(short answer: yes)


In the case of post's that is even true for diaspora*:

https://pod.geraspora.de/posts/0ac89072-2065-c137-8f1c-70f353623703

The difference on diaspora is that they use the term posts instead of display:

What is your problem with the displayed list @Ji Fu ?

Summing up tests "activating" and "deactivating" @[Mentioned people only] on #mastodon. Apparently there have been some changes.
(from v3 to v4?)

You can't add more people into already existing posts. They won't be able to display it nore get notifications.
(if that ever existed)

You can deactivate/delete mentions, the profile won't get notifications of updates but still can see or search those toots.
note:
still awaiting confirmation of behaviour on #friendica

Can't publish public when mentioning forum pages


@Friendica Support
Hi there,
not sure if this is a bug or just that I'm missing some idea/rule functionality.

#bugResearch
Platform Info: 2023.05 - stable | VIER | firefoxFriendica Version: 2023.05 - stable
Theme: VIER
Browser: firefox
Friendica Source: gitHub
PHP version: 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
SQL version: MySQL / MariaDB
memory_limit 256M
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk

I didn't have a look at gitHub
Short bug description:When I try to publish publicly a post addressing two forum pages of this server, gimped and tutorial (tutorial is an account created with this profile), I get a restricted post and I don't understand why.


Details of the buggy behavior:I publish the post as public but it gets displayed as private, only visible for the forum page gimped that actually figures twice in the information card of the lock icon.
Also, I can't pin the post to my profile.

See image gif in screenshots spoiler

¿Possible to reproduce, if so how:This is the code of the post, it happens every time I try:
(somehow friendica alters the tags in this code)
#newHere #neuHier #hola

[img=https://washington.communitynetwork.us/photo/media/1925]Gif scene of the movie "The Martian".

The lonely main actor is sitting on a stone on the inhabited planet he was left on alone.
A text reads:
"First day in the diaspora of the fediVerse .."

The astronaut is depicted how he opens the solar panels of his equipment, presses a big button on it and the hashtags #hola, #neuHier and #newHere appear.

In the last scene he sits again on his stone and the text: ".. wait .." is displayed.

In the first scene that reads the text about the first day in the fediVerse the probably oldest logo of the fediVerse is displayed at the bottom left of the scene. At the horizon on the right the actual logo of the the fediVerse rises behind the landscape.

In the last scene, while our hero is awaiting the outcome of his intent to make contact with the outside world, the old Federated Social Web logo appears in front of the sun.[/img]
