Sorry, but it's true for the other steps as well with postgres being a particularly pain because it is a networked service that requires administration, security minding etc. The end result is a high-friction onboarding process and the fact that it is technically justifiable is besides the point for people who just want to use the thing not to hack on it.
The "if they can manage to run Pleroma" is not a very helpful approach to actually get more people to run Pleroma.
- elcritch 7y agoHaven't looked into the Plemora code myself, but it'd likely be feasible to patch it to be sqlite compatible. Unless there's a lot of Postgres specific SQL (triggers? mat views? hyperlog data types?) and the older version of Ecto the SQLite adapter uses. Still it would be fun to something like Plemora run on a RPi4 without needing Postgres. Then again, maybe Postgres would run alright... :-)
- lainsoykaf 7y agoIt's no feasible, we use a lot of postgres specific features. Pleroma with postgres runs fine even on Raspi 2.
- elcritch 7y agoThanks for the info! Well maybe someday I'll see if I can bake a Nerves image with Postgres running on it. If I'm going to install it might as well on an RPI right?
