Today I felt profoundly better than I had for the previous 10 days.
Prior to this period of illness I ad managed to render my Pleroma instance null and void, FUBAR indeed.
Rather than reinstall Pleroma and have to deal with setting up a database, I thought I would look at some of the other offerings.
I was drawn to the a project called Snac2
Snac is an acronym for Social Networks Are Crap, which is a sentiment I can kinda relate to.
The project can be located here
I also found out that Snac2 is is in the Debian bookworm backports repo!
I figured that this may be the recipe for a pure Debian fediverse instance (ie made from only Debian packages)
Rather than keep with Apache or NginX, I selected another web-server from the Debian stable repo – Caddy!
I had recently purchased a VPS from RackNerd (affiliate link) and though this was a great project for it.
So I had the now parts to execute the plan to fire up a Debian12 VPS and get a fediverse instance running.
My next post should hopefully show you how i did it
