Eh, I wish it wasn't docker only.
I want to apt install stuff or at least download and run a binary, but not docker.
This is about making your own personal instance of a microblog that's ActivityPub enabled. It's much lighter than running Mastodon that's mean to be a hosting platform for a lot of users.
Hmmm but that means my device (phone or computer) has to be online all the time for all features to work right?
What is a VPS? If it's a server, there's nothing new here. I thought it's a 2 in 1 client+server technology like you can do in old Minecraft Java versions (your machine is both a server and a client of its own server)
Yes, it's a virtual server that you can get from a provider like Digital Ocean. It's not running on your machine locally, it's the same thing that the admins of Mastodon instances have to do to run Mastodon servers.
Huh I thought the servers were real and ran on bare metal of volunteers like it's supposed to be
it seems like maybe this is compatible, and is easier to host for a single user instance
I'm not an expert at infrastructure stuff but "single user instance" sounds quite a bit like "peer to peer", "trackable" and "IP leak" to me
Yep, that would be the ip adres of my €5 a month VPS somewhere in an german datacenter.
It can be intercepted by the owner of the server that the instance the user is registered on uses
It's the same concept as running a mastodon server but turning off registration. No more or less secure.
