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?
no it works for the current version but you need to check your playbook vars to just get the new tarballs. If you want to see it in action PHessler runs a node at bsd.network that runs on OpenBSD in vmm on OpenBSD.
Good to know, thank you.
Let me know if you hit any issues with it - iirc someone recently forked / updated it to work with … 7.2… i wanna say.
:D
