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.

A couple of years ago, I was wondering around the Internet, procrastinating adult life as usual. I stumble upon this stunning website, bonfirenetworks.org , and I’m like “daaamn, it looks gooood”, but I had absolutely no idea how this Bonfire would work. It seemed so complex and ambitious…


Now I’m here, the first relase candidate is out, and I can say @[bonfire@indieweb.social really feels like the kind of software I want to see more of in the world.

Thank you for making it and for sticking with it, @mayel@bonfire.cafe 💕


(and thank you @fishinthecalculator for hosting me here)

📣 We're looking for communities and individuals interested in setting up their own Bonfire instances over the next weeks.
We need your help to:
- Use Bonfire in real-world scenarios
- Federate with each other and the wider fediverse to test interoperability
- Monitor performance under active use

Your feedback will help us get Bonfire Social across the finish line to a stable 1.0 release!
We’ll be happy to provide guidance throughout the whole process ✊

Please boost or reach out if interested!

@bonfire@indieweb.social For those interested in setting up Bonfire with a declarative approach on #Guix systems let me know if I can help. Currently my personal instance is running on the latest Guix at bonfire.fishinthecalculator.me .
