use of couchdb
flohmarkt expects to install CouchDB from the Apache repository for its use. Installation of flohmarkt might break already existing installs of CouchDB.
flohmarkt will probably not install if you're already running an instance of a couchdb

choosing a sender email address
flohmarkt will send email and you'll be asked for an address used as the sender in these emails. yunohost will try to configure your chosen address as an allowed sender, but for the time being this will only work if the sender address is not in use otherwise - e.g. as an alias.
This issue contains information about the problem.
multiple flohmarkt on the same subdomain will not work
flohmarkt needs its own subdomain to be installed on. Some of the discussion about this can be found here:

No integration in yunohost user database
flohmarkt mainanins its own user database in CouchDB. Users have to register to flohmarkt to get an account. Registration cannot be restricted to yunohost users.

removing
Removing a flohmarkt instance will delete all of its data for the time being. If you remove a flohmarkt we strongly suggest to make a backup beforehand. This issue describes how we'll handle remove with and without --purge in the future.
Warning: This might break any existing installation of couchdb (there's an couchdb app to install just couchdb and expose its port via nginx reverse-proxy and possibly other software installing a couchdb). This could happen if you installed the couchdb app after you installed flohmarkt.

When installing flohmarkt on a a domain and letting it talk to other ActivityPub instances it will propagate a key associated to your domain. If you remove your flohmarkt from that domain and loose that key other instances might not want to talk to you anymore after you installed flohmarkt again on the same domain generating a new key.
list of instances
We apreciate a lot if you run an instance of flohmarkt and will publish your instance on the wiki if you open an issue asking us to do so.
If you're looking for another instance to federate with the list on the wiki is a good starting point also.
