Post · A small Bonfire corner on the internet

@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 .

@bonfire does this include an ability to create private online spaces?

Bonfire

@bonfire@indieweb.social · 4 weeks ago

@patamystic yes you can switch from having a local-only or federated instance from the admin settings (plus a third-option to manually fetch remote activities :))

@patamystic you can also set posts to only be visible to local users (per post or as a default), and make registration invite-only

@bonfire if all goes well will likely setup an instance under the umbrella of nmmdc.org assuming the docker deployment goes easily. 🤞 🔧 #nmmdc #nm

@bonfire I’ve been reflecting for some time on building a local social network prototype for my city, aimed at connecting people who are dissatisfied and seeking solutions to their everyday problems, starting from their own neighborhoods. At the same time, I’d like this medium to give rise to a local journalism collective made up of these people and focused on these issues.

@bonfire It would be great to have ARM64 Docker images available as well

Bonfire

@bonfire@indieweb.social · last month

@histrio have now added arm64 and arm32v7 (for Raspberry Pi) to our CI builds: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/bonfirenetworks/bonfire/tags

Bonfire

@bonfire@indieweb.social · 2 months ago

@histrio ah yes thanks for the reminder! we need to configure our CI to generate those again

Make app for bonfire for smartphones, it very important!

@pescetarian we have a progressive web app that works pretty good already - but we plan to release native apps as well in the future.

@bonfire @pescetarian what is the compatibility with mastodon clients? That could solve this!

I do completely back up this proposal: at a minimum, Bf should work with any standard ActivityPub client.

Then, if certain features specific to Bf are not implemented on them, it makes total sense to add them to a specific client.

Also, a progressive web app seems a very solid starting point bcs sustaining a native app takes a huge effort along time, and it is debatable if this is the best use of the limited efforts available as of now. :)
