Pleroma is an OStatus-compatible social networking server, compatible with GNU Social, PostActiv and Mastodon. It is high-performance and so is especially well suited for running on low power single board computers without much RAM.

* Installation
|
|
Log into your system with:
|
|
|
|
#+begin_src bash
|
|
ssh myusername@mydomain -p 2222
|
|
#+end_src
|
|
|
|
Using cursor keys, space bar and Enter key select *Administrator controls* and type in your password.
|
|
|
|
Select *Add/Remove Apps* then *pleroma*. You will then be asked for a domain name and if you are using FreeDNS also the code for the domain which can be found under *Dynamic DNS* on the FreeDNS site (the random string from "/quick cron example/" which appears after /update.php?/ and before />>/). For more details on obtaining a domain and making it accessible via dynamic DNS see the [[./faq.html][FAQ]]. Typically the domain name you use will be a subdomain, such as /pleroma.mydomainname.net/. It will need to be a domain which you have bought somewhere and own and not one of the FreeDNS subdomains, otherwise you won't be able to get a SSL/TLS certificate for it.

|
|
* Initial setup
|
|
The first thing you'll need to do is register a new account. You can set your profile details and profile image by selecting the small settings icon to the right of your name.
|
|
|
|
Once you have done that then you can disable further registrations from the *Administrator control panel* by going to *App Settings* then *pleroma* then *Disable new account registrations*. This may take a while because the app gets recompiled afterwards.
|
|
|
|
* Mastodon user interface
|
|
If you prefer a Tweetdeck-style user interface, similar to Mastodon, then once you have registered an account navigate to */yourpleromadomainname/web* and log in.
