EDIT - informationThis tutorial is supposed to be published by the tutorial profile of this server.
It is designed to have several chapters, each being distinctively seperated by an own titel. In total as of now there are like besides this introduction like 6 chapters.

SPOILER - click to open/close || IntroductionThis tutorial is an adaption of the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @hankg based on the experience of the installation report by @jesuisatirebitpickup:@helpers@forum.friendi.ca
squeet.me/display/962c3e10-576โฆ
and specific help by @raroun.Server specs and friendica version used:
SPOILER - click to open/close || Installation environment and HowToThe only reasonable way to work with a VPSserver on the web is using the console.
VPS server | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk
Friendica [STABLE] | 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518
If you are not familiar with that don't worry, it is easy and the only thing you have to do is being able to copy/paste the commands displayed:
ยกCopy/paste only the codeBoxes like this one, located outside of the spoilers of this tutorial one after another without altering the sequence!
Of course it is necessary to change the specific file names and passwords for you indiviual site, but that's all. promise!
On the console you wont be able to copy/paste with the keyboard ctrl-C/ctrl-V technique, you'll have to use the mouse "right click, chose option" technique.
This tutorial was created on a #debian #linux desktop environment.
There shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
The method used for communication between your local computer and the VPS server is called #SSH:
Wikipedia - Secure Shell:
"Cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers."

Perfect! Letโs make something awesome :)

My approach to these issues is probably unfiltered, and I'm sorry if this makes my statements seem too categorical.
I should also point out that when I talk about Bluesky being tied to huge funding (and therefore adequate returns), I'm not expressing a moral judgment. I want to be completely non-partisan on the matter.
I simply wanted to provide my best explanation for the disruptions we're witnessing as a result of attempts at cross-pollination between the Blueskysphere and the Fedisphere.
Let me try to explain myself better:
considering the vertical nature of Bluesky PBC considering the horizontal nature of the Fediverse
I don't rule out the possibility of cross-pollination, but I do rule out the possibility of it being guided by the same principles.The development of the Fediverse is, in fact, driven by the community of developers who work only on the application layer and know that (almost) none of them has the power to decide on the "protocol." And it isn't based on a single business model. On the other hand, those who have decision-making power over the protocol know that any change would have a huge impact on an extremely diverse ecosystem. It's not easy to decide what to change because it's not easy to understand what impact such a change could have.
Bluesky's development, on the other hand, revolves around a single entity that holds decision-making power over the protocol, running the server and developing the app and APIs that dominate that ecosystem. And it's based on a business model that was already defined well before the protocol was created, with a protocol that was also developed with a business model in mind!The developers of the Fediverse were therefore Darwinianly selected by circumstances and today appear to be a bit more hacker-like, a bit more experimental, more adept at circumventing limitations, and (this isn't always a good thing...) more oriented toward community-driven financial support (and self-driven, because luckily for them, they all have IT jobs in a company). Moreover, not everyone is highly knowledgeable about the Activitypub protocol. And some of them are real "gourmets" of controversy...
Bluesky developers, on the other hand, seem decidedly more "secular" to me; they also have to deal with a more rigid protocol (definitely more protocol-based than the Activitypub protocol), strong centralized decision-making power, and objectively have more limited room for manoeuvre. Furthermore, these developers' livelihood model isn't clear to me (I mean, beyond their IT jobs at some company: do they all work for Bluesky PBC?).
I don't know... they seem like two worlds that aren't easily compatible, even from a social perspective...If this is true, then it shouldn't be surprising if the attitude of Bluesky stakeholders (the real ones, those sitting at the top) is positive only when a change could benefit their business model.
Conversely, the responses from Fediverse stakeholders (i.e., those dozen or so de facto influencers who, with a nod, can determine the public's favor or hostility toward an initiative) might seem more disappointing.I reiterate that even if I were right, this attitude wouldn't stop the new ideas germinating between the Fediverse and Bluesky developers.
It must be said, however, that since Bluesky was launched, I haven't seen any particular innovations. Recently, however, I've seen several new ideas emerge in the Fediverse, and these ideas, despite the rapidly declining user base, have led to very promising developments in the federated ecosystem over the past two years.All of this, however, would explain the communication difficulties between the two worlds, linked to the fact that the Bluesky leadership is too high-flying and the Fediverse stakeholders are too free-wheeling.
I hope I've explained myself better, despite the language barrier.
julian said in I also want to see #activitypub get some of the primitives that #atproto has such as decentralized identifiers (except for real), personal data stores, content addresses, etc.:
> This is an important observation we should take into consideration.My theory, however, would explain this reaction... :grin:
See you soon and have a good evening.

@benpate @andypiper @alisynthesis @WeirdWriter
I'm also in the year-end rally at my day job, but I do have a two-week Christmas vacation coming up. I'll see if I can whip up something then!

Hey Andy, thanks for the mention!
I might add a map of physical locations, and a map-based search for businesses.
@juergen_hubert - would you be interested in making a drawing or two of what this might look like? I'd be happy to make a prototype.
I have my hands full with.. stuff.. at the moment, so I'm not able to do much design work. But once we know what we're doing, the actual coding might only take an afternoon or two.

The W3C is chartering a group to work on social web standards, including ActivityPub
They are asking for public and W3C member comments.

I feel as though I need to jump in here to de-escalate, as things are starting to get out of hand.
What I can safely assume is that if we are not in the room, we cannot make any predictions on what will or won't happen. It's easy to mis-trust large organizations and assume the worse intentions, but that is biased and unfair.
Do you disagree? Probably, but I've seen the exact same malintent levied at a smaller scale against the Mastodon developers, simply because they are the largest implementor of the fediverse and are therefore bad by definition.
Something I hear often is the argument that one should judge a company not by what it says, but by what it does โ don't blindly trust Facebook just because it says it has your best interests at heart, look at what it does with moderation tooling (or lack thereof), data privacy, etc.
So we need to apply that same lens to BlueSky. thisismissem@hachyderm.io is saying that developers there have been more open and forthcoming to some of her ideas โ ideas important to her, and to the fediverse as a whole, and that she has received a rather lacklustre response from the AP side. This is an important observation we should take into consideration.

@AdamStuartSmith I plan to write a FAQ today. we had this question a lot over the last few days :)
