Pleroma for YunoHost

Lire ce readme en français.

This package allows you to install Pleroma quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.

Overview

Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange messages with) other servers that support ActivityPub. What that means is that you can host a server for yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate with all servers that implement ActivityPub, like Friendica, GNU Social, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Misskey, Peertube, and Pixelfed.

• LDAP supported but HTTP auth not.

Admin Tasks

Go to cd /var/www/pleroma/live.

Adding users

Password reset

Run:

$ ( cd /var/www/pleroma/live && sudo -u pleroma MIX_ENV=prod ./bin/pleroma_ctl user reset_password <NICKNAME> )

This will generate a password reset link that you can then send to the user.

Moderators

You can make users moderators. They will then be able to delete any post.
