    I see your efforts in the last months. My test failed about 5 months ago, but I will give it another try with the bare metal setup in future.

    Piefed is actually the only serious alternative to Lemmy in my opinion. Hope you find help with the container, it is the most used way to selfhost these days, wish you the best :)

    Tried to setup it once bare metal, everything prepared, but only got an error on db init… flask db upgrade worked but flask init-db only threw cryptic errors…

    The docs on join.piefed.social are very limited, they should refer to those on Codeberg. Codeberg docs were completely missing how to setup S3 storage. I just took a look, now it is in the docs. This is good 👍🏻

    While I set up piefed, you read in the middle of the docs, that you need a second project for notifications at the time I tried to set this up.

    Now you don’t need it anymore, as far as I read in the docs.

    “Okay just use Docker…”

    Multiple cronjobs for containers? Come on 😐 Lemmy is far easier to use in a container.

    Maybe a take look at piefed again when there is a background manager instead of 4 cronjobs.

    I moved to Outline, more functions, easier user management and public sharing imo

    I tried docmost too, it has a cleaner look than Wiki.js, but SSO is enterprise only. That was a killer for me

    I used Wiki.js for years, but it seems pretty dead. Sometimes after months there is a new release with just 1 or 2 bugfixes. Yeah I know… He is working on V3 with many new features (that other wikis already have) and so on. He is doing this for 4 or 5 years now.

    People asked to help, to contribute or donate… He doesn’t want anything, he wants to develop on his own (you can read this in his Discord)

    My opinion: stay away from Wiki.js and get a better one like Docmost, Bookstack or Outline.

    The bigger problem of Pixelfed seems the codebase and documentation. Dan is mostly alone while developing it. No public betas, just Screenshots with intresting features, which will come soon™

    Then again, the documentation. I tried spinning up Pixelfed on ubuntu server with the docs provided. Laravel did not start, cryptical error message. A module was disabled in the default PHP.ini. No mention in the docs, just which PHP modules are needed. I found the solution in a Github issue
