The work of packaging is thankless but invaluable imo, I started working on packaging Bonfire for Guix a couple of years ago but never managed to get further than packaging bonfire_common. I'm not sure if it can be of help but here is my work github.com/fishinthecalculat... .


As for the Nix flake my opionion would be to have it expose modules which allow users to instantiate OCI backed Bonfire instances. this way we can focus on configuration and plug Nix native binaries once they are in Nix mainline. Also if you have any feedback or advice on the approach we are taking feel free to share it!

Always wanted to #selfhost your #Fediverse instance but were always worried about system administration trauma?

Do you ever have to run around your flat, picking up all the leftover parentheses from yesterday's party with your hosting coop coworkers?

Then you are probably the right person, check out this post about fearless #Bonfire hosting on a #Guix System. You'll learn that taking care of a community is much more manageable when you let computer do the boring work for you.

Set up HTTPS, automatic backups, automatic nightly upgrades and join the awesome Bonfire community without a single worry on losing data from your instance.

The Bonfire instance I'm writing this from is provisioned the same way the post describes. Let me know if I can help you running your own.
