I would LOVE that, but didn't think you would ever consider it.

Would be my choice for a small or personal instance of my own. Superior in MANY Freaking ways.

@realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman We had a chat here yesterday, and the poster is running a Single user instance, on mastodon software.

Four cores in a vM dedicated to this beast. Argh!

It seems to be a ball of Spaghetti, from my un-educated expectator, User view. He posted Stats and it showed quite a bit of resource use, for that single user.

Some people run Pleroma on a Raspberry Pi, although I would rather use an older PC box.

@design_RG @realcaseyrollins @freemo @moonman I too would rather use an older PC box

@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @freemo @moonman Interesting, I just visited yor front door. 😃

I would think an older machine or laptop is less grief too.

@design_RG @realcaseyrollins @freemo @moonman it's mainly because I'm getting an assload of DB errors and I suspect it's because of slow storage.

@benis

someday I should try and get it running, got some spare older laptops which would work well. Just should start with the linux part first, then progress to Pleroma after.

@design_RG

If you need help let me know. I could probably set that up in no time since I know my way around linux pretty well and web servers in general.

@benis @realcaseyrollins@mstdn.social @moonman

@freemo

Thank you! For you it would be easy, yes, as you already are comfortable in both the OS and with similar software, mastodon.

Might be a good chance to see how real the comments I heard about the Pleroma installation guides being friendly are. I have spare hardware, an empty new SSD, and it's just a question of deciding to jump into this for fun some week.

But it would start with a linux learning curve, the underlining foundation to Pleroma. WE will see - I have been thinking of starting some writing again, that would be nice.

@design_RG @freemo @realcaseyrollins @moonman if you don't know the GNU coreutils at least passably I'd postpone setting up a website until you do

@benis

Agreed if we are talking about a production website.

But if he sets it up knowing its going to be a shit show until he learns, and likely will loose some data along the way, then hey, let the guy play with a website :)
