I’m not going to provide an answer here but more a point and perhaps complicate things a little more - With ActivityPub and other open Federated protocols - The Platform that you use and the client that you select can be different. I use a Mastodon account and Friendica account with FediLab as my mobile client. I guess you are looking for the feature set and then UI for both Desktop and Mobile.

I kind of like the document but I’m struggling with all the cookies given that its hosted on xda-developers.com. In the eat your own dogfood kind of way… Do you have your own host that you could serve this up from? Wordpress?

Yeah … I am nothing that many plugins i looked at had source code available bit then when I looked further it was for the basic version while they offered a.pro version which was paid.

I guess in these situations you need to dig into the licencing to find out where you stand.

Perhaps also I am just too new to Wordpress to know the popular open source addons

Haha nah man. Its good. I mean random guy walks in and asks ‘wheres the good stuff’? And oh Ive never given someone a.short sharp respone?

Anyway what are your recommendations for Events and Forms? Im going to look at CiviCRM. ActivityPub plugin is going in today hopefully and Im starting Learn Wordpress. No idea about workflows for content editors.

.

Yeah ok the wording was a bit blase and Im new to the group so Ill take the burn…but Im working for free on a community group website. Im aware that there are great communities out there doing amazing work on Opensource projects. I like to find them use and learn about them and then contribute however I can. (e.g Very keen Openstreetmaper) I was just feeling lost when i kept finding sites that said open source but then had PRO versions.

So… #Blindleadingtheblind but I think the idea is you create a post type that has attributes that allow one or more images to the post. Then create a list that renders the items in an order. (Well this is how I would do it on other CMS systems. ) So I am going to see if I can figure out how to do this for PDF documents … lets see if I retain enough focus to do it and what results I get.

Are you looking to provide this as an ActivityPub feed or just on the site? Im fairly new to Wordpress (Background in other CMSs) but getting into creating different type of posts and lists of posts based on categories.

Just saw this. - Do you know about Pixelfed? sort of like Federated Instagram.

I want to be independent. My understanding is that Tail scale relies on a service they run or a endpoint you run on a VPS - Is that right?

Yeah been using No-ip free but I worry that one day I will forget to confirm and ill ge cut-off.

Yeah maybe I need to consider this.

Be aware of the risks of hosting your websites publicly from home, make sure to run them in very isolated environments. Having your VPS compromised is bad, but having your home network compromised is much worse!

Agree - Not something I will throw myself into.

Yes I use no-ip but have to confirm the domain name every month or so and cant use my own domain on the free tier. (Maybe im just being cheap) - Also I haven’t been able to figure out how I would use / get SSL certificates.

Wow thanks everyone. I think I need to take another look at some of the DynDNS provides and digest all your great feedback.

Id like to go beyond personal self hosting stuff and maybe run some stuff that requires Federation. Im just thinking at the moment.

I guess it depends if you want to put edge compute in each room. os just audio freeds to something central. But long term I’d avoid anything that uses any propriety service.

My two cents : Id make sure anything you got was based on Bluetooth audio and had a microphone. Then what ever you link them together with software wise doesn’t matter. You could put them together and run HomeAssistant or Openvoiceos for interaction or just have a media player running somewhere that feeds each room.

Yes definitely. Trust is the key

Im ‘between’ jobs at the moment. opportunities for connecting through community projects is attractive right now.

Interesting - I will have a look at disroot.org. Im not immediately understanding them but thats probably because where I encounter it I try to read whats available in Spanish to start.

Is that https://keepass.info/ ?
