This package allows you to install Pixelfed quickly and simply on a YunoHost server. If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.
PixelFed is a decentralized and federated image sharing software under development. In addition to taking over the functionality of Instagram, the functioning of PixelFed is:
-
Decentralized: Each instance can follow one or more other PixelFed instances in order to allow their respective members to interact. A first pixelfed.social public body limited to 10,000 members has already been created.
-
Federated: Via the ActivityPub protocol, PixelFed can interact with other software that is part of the Fediverse, such as Mastodon or PeerTube for example.
It is also possible to import your data from Instagram.
Shipped version: 0.11.12~ynh1
You need to run them from you pixelfed folder (usually /var/www/pixelfed). The php.VERSION might be changed according to you current package version.
Once you made some changes, you need to run php8.2 artisan config:cache && php8.2 artisan cache:clear to apply them.
Note: this will disconnect any logged-in account (including from the admin web UI).
php8.2 artisan avatar:storage-deep-clean
Use it to prune old avatars that are outdated or no longer used. This might save some disk space.
php8.2 artisan avatar:storage
It can be used to fetch remote avatars that are not loaded (or in case you deleted /var/www/pixelfed/storage/app/public/cache/avatars where they are stored).
It might also be usefull to migrate that cache (only, not the other existing media) to an S3 storage, by refectching all of them.
Be aware that this will generate a lot of "jobs" that will take time to be completed, and have a significant load on your server (especially bandwith and CPU).
-
Delete non-used media that where not cleaned (it happens) :
php8.2 artisanmedia:gc(Delete media uploads not attached to any active statuses) -
Same but for media stored on S3 storage and still locally stored (doubles) :
php8.2 artisan media:s3gc(Delete (local) media uploads that exist on S3) -
Migrate your media to an S3 storage (you need to configure it first), so media uploaded before configuring S3 are migrated there:
php8.2 artisanmedia:migrate2cloud(Move older media to cloud storage) -
Migrate from one S3 backend the other one (change the configuration first):
php8.2 artisanmedia:cloud-url-rewrite(Rewrite S3 media urls from local users)
