I’m getting this notice when editing my #GoToSocial post/status on #Phanpy:

STATUS EDITS ARE NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED IN GOTOSOCIAL (coming in 2024) You can review the original text of your status below, but you will not be able to submit this edit.

It’s 2025 already. I hope editing status feature will be supported soon on GoToSocial.

@elgosz I agree. Too bad it’s not so easy to run your own instance of #Elk.

Too bad, #Elk as a Fediverse front-end interface looks sleek. Guess I’ll have to stick to #Phanpy for the meantime.

I can’t seem to run my own instance of #Elk. Currently there’s no #Docker image, you have to build with the Dockerfile. The error: ERROR [elk builder 11/11] RUN pnpm build. Hoping for a simpler install next time, and a Docker image please that we can just pull. github.com/∞

Elk: A nimble Mastodon web client

In order to host Elk yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with elk. Be aware, that Elk only loads properly if the connection is done via SSL/TLS. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You’ll have to add this bit yourself. One could put Elk behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX etc.

An alternative to Phanpy, which also works with GoToSocial instances. At least this looks more robust than Phanpy. Gotta deploy one soon.

Edit: Wasn’t able to deploy successfully. Sad.

Now I know: adding --tail=xx in your docker logs command limits the number of log entries to the last xx lines. For example: docker logs -f --tail=10 caddy will show you the last 10 lines of caddy’s logs only. #Docker

@ov congrats! good for you!

#Docker for me is great. I just don’t understand why someone else would have a differing OPINION (in all caps!)?

Fediverse Explorer

Browse most recent public posts across the fediverse by hashtag.

This is a great project. Lots of posts I’ve discovered from using this hashtag search. I know the source is on Github, but I wish this is easily selfhostable complete with Docker and compose documentation.

See Github page and blog post.

Media Caching - GoToSocial Documentation

GoToSocial uses the configured storage backend in order to store media (images, videos, etc) uploaded to the instance by local users, as well as to cache media attached to posts and profiles federated in from remote instances.

GoToSocial total storage space usage currently stands at 3.9GB. If this gets out of hand, I may need to add in the environment variable of the compose.yml file:
