@vaporeon_ GtS is just a bigass static binary (the only pawsible way to build Go purrograms). it#8217;s configured to use SQLite as a database by default without intervention in any way. it listens on localhost and gets reverse proxied to by apache, which handles TLS (certbot handles ACME and the TLS parts of the apache config). a basic systemd unit is purrovided in the release tarball so we installed that (we’re on debian trixie). me learning apache on the fly was the annoying part of the setup; shit kinda Just Worked otherwise. following the documentation we got GtS itself right furst try. so far, can recommend

@wallhackio after deploying a web application to a VPS: “this is horrible, i hate this shit so much”
me after helping him debug the very frustrating errors: that was pretty simple, this seems like good software *purroceeds to configure my own web server and have to debug various inexplicable config errors*
@aschmitz @wallhackio evil response
@compufox me when meowscarada
It seems we need a tiebreaker! My roommates and I watch a movie every Friday. What should be the next movie we watch?
@wallhackio i did make it worse by setting up a reverse proxy and certbot instead of letting GtS handle TLS and ACME but if/when he deploys his blog onto that server that’ll pay off
@netkitty 🫵 smol creature!!
if @wallhackio thought deploying GotoSocial was a horrible experience, i’m glad he didn’t even try deploying Mastodon lmao
@wallhackio me too
