  • Everything I tried was annoying to use and didn’t do what I wanted for some reason, so I just made my own. This took some time, but not as much as I expected.

    • I copy and pasted a GitHub Action from the official docs which generates a Docker image and publishes it to GitHub Packages.
    • On the server, I use Portainer’s “Stacks” (which are just Docker Compose files) for all programs and games, so I just added a new stack which uses my image from GitHub.
    • The server also has Watchtower installed on it (inside a container of course), which updates all containers, including the dashboard.
    • Portainer and Watchtower both share the same Docker configuration, so I only need to configure my GitHub access token in one place (e.g., Portainer’s UI).

    What’s cool about the fediverse is that we get to choose.

    Do I want to be in an instance that federates with everyone, good and bad?

    Pros:

    • More content.
    • Potentially insightful debate.

    Cons:

    • More negativity.
    • Potentially giving a platform to extremists.

    Or do I want to be in an instance that defederates on a whim?

    Pros:

    • More positive content.
    • Taking a strong stance against extremism.

    Cons:

    • Less content.
    • Potentially missing insightful debate.

    Personally, debate I’ve had that was insightful was generally in good faith to begin with, and would be allowed on platforms like Beehaw, so I don’t see much use for “anything goes” kinds of platforms. Additionally, I’m not always in the mood for debate. I can just switch between different instances depending on my mood. Given that everyone can choose their instance, I don’t see much of a reason for trying to federate with everyone.
