#littlefedi
moved the #littlefedi test instance from aws / ec2 to oracle free tier ampere 1
seems fine (and free)
Littlefediquestion:
is there a way to bulk import people from mastodon exported lists ?
follow, lists...silence/blocked ?
i see just the import following, very well hidden under "transfer account" 🙂
This post came from a littlefedi test instance that
- it has a stable ip, but it does not have a fixed ip, if I reboot the server, it will change.
- it does not even have a paid/owned domain; I'm using one of the many free dynamic dns services (dyndns.org)
Other instances know me from the FQDN, not from the ip.
What happens if my ip change?
My ddclient will update the dns.
While the change propagates (5 to 10 minutes), the other instances will keep trying to contact the wrong ip and, even if the old ip suddenly got assigned to another advanced user, fail to deliver because of missing/mismatch keys.
No data leak.
It's like my server has an outage but, as we all experience, that never translates into a user-level remote outage, other servers will just queue the messages for the time it takes.
Remote users won't see any disturbance.
So in the end, it's just a matter of technical skill, a server could run on a raspberry pi at home landline, or even on a smartphone offline in the night, if only such a software server exist
Server should install in two clicks and the graphical interface should just ask "do you have a domain ? do you want me to register a free one ?"
just migrated the littlefedi server from an aws ec2 t3.micro (amd64) to a t4g.nano (arm64)
just copied everything and changed only the binary 👍
(would be cool if phanpy know about emoji reactions 🙂)
