Mastodon: Builds and can work anywhere where you can get ruby on rails and mastodons other millions of dependencies, so pretty accessible. Configuration is a bust though. Misskey: Impossible to build on sane distros. Pleroma: It builds on anything with elixir and is highly configurable. The only downside is the database schema is a fuck.

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com - https://lab.nyanide.com/users/nyanide false I run misskey in debian, update your post

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com Honk: go, sqlite, web server (optional)

@prettygood@socially.drinkingatmy.computer Honk is nice if you're willing to read the man pages and don't mind having an eternally single user instance, though most people don't like either of those things.

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com snac: c compiler

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com - https://lab.nyanide.com/users/nyanide if Palermo is so good when is Plomera 2 releasing

@waifu@mai.waifuism.life Alright here we go! Debian: Only ships Postgres 15, backports doesn't have a newer version and Misskeys documentation says to use a version newer than 15! *Alrite fuggit I'll just continue onwards anyway, I thought* DEBIAN SHIPS A VERSION OF NODE THAT IS TOO FUCKING OLD FOR SOME OF THE MISSKEY DEPENDENCIES. Arch: uhhh.. it at least has nvm in repos? Though got a weird error message about misskey wanting 22.0.0 and nothing more. Maybe I just read the error message wrong. I gave up on that install though.

to be honest, you also need a storage device for it to workCC: @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com - https://lab.nyanide.com/users/nyanide

@nyanide@lab.nyanide.com @waifu@mai.waifuism.life I know someone who managed to get it running on Devuan Linux, Postgres 17 and all

@eris@p.enes.lv @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com just use ram, the other servers are the storage

@Cocoa@nekosat.work @waifu@mai.waifuism.life apt lied to me. postgres 17 is in sid.

@waifu@mai.waifuism.life @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com doing unkind things to postgres

@icedquinn@blob.cat @waifu@mai.waifuism.life it's too bad the postgres mascot is a fucking elephant that would've been a really good comm

@waifu@mai.waifuism.life @nyanide@lab.nyanide.com Because it's not good.
