Pixelfed for YunoHost
This package allows you to install Pixelfed quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.
Overview
PixelFed is a decentralized and federated image sharing software under development. In addition to taking over the functionality of Instagram, the functioning of PixelFed is:
-
Decentralized: Each instance can follow one or more other PixelFed instances in order to allow their respective members to interact. A first pixelfed.social public body limited to 10,000 members has already been created.
-
Federated: Via the ActivityPub protocol, PixelFed can interact with other software that is part of the Fediverse, such as Mastodon or PeerTube for example.
It is also possible to import your data from Instagram.
Shipped version: 0.11.4~ynh3

Disclaimers / important information
Important points to read before installing
- Pixelfed require a dedicated root domain, eg. pixelfed.domain.tld
Administrator
After being first registered, you need to execute the folloing command to promote first registered as admin
Run:
$ sudo php7.4 /var/www/pixelfed/artisan user:admin 1
and respond yes to the question Add admin privileges to this user?.
Allow/Close registrations
Registrations are open by default.
To change that setting, edit /var/www/pixelfed/.env and set OPEN_REGISTRATION=false instead of true.
Then run php7.4 artisan config:cache to reload the settings.
Change max upload limit
To change max upload limit (default : 50MB), edit the Pixelfed php-fpm.conf file and find the line Common values to change to increase file upload limit
And adjust those values:
php_admin_value[post_max_size] = 50M
php_admin_value[upload_max_filesize] = 50M
Disable search engine indexing
If you don't want your Pixelfed instance to be indexed in search engine (and so on), edit /var/www/pixelfed/public/robots.txt like this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Note: search engines will see that file and may or may not respect its content.
Since 0.10.10, by default /discover/places/, /stories/ and /i/ are present in that file.
