Giving #Sharkey one more try (the 9th for the record)
-
@elena In German we got a saying "alle guten Dinge sind drei", literally all good things are three, meaning that things work on the third try. You're now on your third third try, so it'll work this time for sure... maybe 😉
@madalex it did! the power of 3, LOL

My oh my I can't believe my eyes. The 9th time was the charm!!! 🥳
(I had been struggling with this since Friday, so I'm a little in disbelief) ☺️
And so that there are no misunderstandings: YunoHost is WONDERFUL. I struggled with this particular installation (first time ever) because there isn't an available guide. I will be writing to my YH contacts offering to create such a guide for newbies.
Two crucial things needed to happen (I got advice about the first and lucked out with the second... lots of A/B testing):
1) When you install Sharkey with YunoHost you need to set the initial permissions to "All visitors" (I had it set to Admin only and that's why my instance looked broken).
2) Sharkey has two passwords in the account setup screen. The only combo that worked for me was keeping the first field empty and then using my YunoHost admin's password for the second. The username could be anything, didn't have to be like the YH admin. I'll be changing this stat though, for security reasons.
Voilà. And sorry but need to rush off and set up my profile - yay!

Backup the working state! And backup the whole server before any update... The Sharkey Yunohost Package seems a bit .... ehrm... "shakey"
Runs very fine as long as you do not touch it
Edit: On second tought. The State on my machine may be my own fault cause i fucked around with it to much

#SharkeyI set up 2FA and immediately uploaded Seirdy's Tier0 blocklist... and unlocked an achievement on my self-hosted #Sharkey instance: "well prepared" 😆

@elena@aseachange.com The Achievements are such a fun addition. Needed? No. But Fun.
Have fun exploring! -

I recommend adding a search field to the widgets in the right bar. Very convenient for account / external note pasting. -

@monkee yeah I remember the last update broke a lot of instances. I will definitely backup, take a server snapshot and say a little prayer. The good thing with YunoHost is that they always automatically create a backup of a software before upgrade

@elena@aseachange.com I had one catastrophic fail where the backup restoreafter a failed update failed and yunohost uninstalled Sharkey completely.

@monkee oh nooooo! I'm so sorry about this 😭

@elena@aseachange.com I had a full server backup done before the update. So i could recover.
I'll update to the last version this week - wish me luck
