Everyone (and their mother) have been trying to convince me that I should use one of my less loaded servers to be a Fediverse node. However, all Fediverse software packages I checked only support being installed on complicated systemd + Docker machines. My servers don’t have either of those, because neither systemd nor Docker even exist on OpenBSD and illumos.
I know that it would be possible to manually install (e.g.) Lemmy, assuming that I won’t ever need official support, but I wonder why the world outside a limited subset of the Linux ecosystem is - at most - an afterthought for Fediverse developers.
How can I help to change that?
@tux0r have you seen Honk? It seems to be very easy. I’ve heard it works well if it’s what you want. https://humungus.tedunangst.com/r/honk
I did! And indeed, it looks like a very straightforward solution. :-) Currently experimenting with it.
