it occurs to me that i have a vps now. i should try to get freshrss running on there too

oh thank god they have an installation guide for babies

i was looking at the normal one and they lost me at like step 2

alright that didn’t work and i am too tired to attempt again

perhaps tomorrow uwu

ok i looked into it more and apparently running two things on ur vps is more complicated than i thought so i might just shrink into a corn cob instead

@mae you definitely want a reverse proxy for that stuff (I use nginx on my box), plus I recommend figuring out the basics for docker and docker-compose, they’re great

@adam caddy is a reverse proxy, no? i already have that from the league setup guide. so i could convert akkoma over to docker along with freshrss.

@mae @adam I like Docker (and containers in general) myself, although it does have its peculiarities and occasional inexplicable errors.

@mae it is, yeah

converting akkoma to docker shouldn’t be too hard, the container is basically the source install, but, well, in a container, you literally just bind mount your source dir and it builds from that

@tenna @mae yea, it does have its quirks, but it’s generally awesome and greatly simplifies running things

@adam @tenna thanks all. ive got some stuff to work with now. much appreciated!

@mae @adam no problem! if you need any help and i'm available, I'll totally be down to offer it ^~^

@tenna @mae same here, let me know if you need help, I do have a bunch of experience with that stuff

@adam @tenna well that didn't go well
installing docker was fine, but the docs for migrating akkoma were not great for me. when i give it another go i'll probably ask y'all for some help

@mae @tenna I know that I had to do a bit of Fuckery to get some stuff to work in docker (not a lot, it was mostly just removing a line from the db init file because postgres didn’t have an extension, I can just add it later if needed)

but other than that, it was a mostly standard setup (except I’m running the compose file from the parent directory instead of directly from the akkoma dir). I could probs drop my compose file and other required stuff if needed

@adam @tenna it’s probably just that the guide was too vague for me. assuming that i know stuff that i most definitely do not, nyahaha

@mae @tenna a guide for getting akkoma up and running in docker is also in my todo list fyi

@mae @tenna but also feel free to just poke me on discord if you need help setting it up

@adam @tenna thanks! i’ll probably mess around with it myself for awhile out of stubbornness first though

@mae @tenna “fuck around and find out” is a pretty effective way to learn stuff

@adam @mae @tenna it’s the only way i learn anything at all. lol
