Hmm, might be able to build a Tumblr importer pretty easily, especially since auth is already implemented for cross-posting 🤔

@Valium@mastodon.at Awesome! Do you mind if I share this link?

Going along with this, by v1.0 we'll have built-in support for getting certificates from Let's Encrypt.

You won't need a reverse proxy in front of in v0.4 -- now it can handle secure traffic on its own.

@Valium@mastodon.at Yeah, Mastodon is really heavy.

Once you compile WriteFreely though, it takes up little resources. I was actually running it on a Raspberry Pi 1 with 256MB of RAM.

@Valium@mastodon.at Yeah, unfortunately the ActivityPub code needs a ton of RAM to compile right now -- the library is huge. Someone else couldn't get it to compile on a 2GB VPS.

Will hopefully fix that in the future, but for now this would be the way to go.

@Valium@mastodon.at On my regular machine, I compiled with:

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=5 go build

And then transferred the binary and the directories: static, templates, pages, and keys. Then on the Pi, ran the setup process like normal.

What parts didn't work for you?

Another idea it made me think of: what if instead of comments right now, mentions just forwarded to a connected Mastodon / Pleroma / whatever account? Not sure how that'd technically work, but might have to look into it.

Recent @matt blog post getting sent around the fediverse reminded me this is pretty critical for v1.0: blog data caching.
