If you remember where you found that link, let me know, so I can update it. >Packages, obviously, is a nice way to install software... If I wanted an appliance - I should set up an alpine vm, install source-hut components I like, point it at a managed postgres instance and a smart mail host - and assume I'll only ever need to do rolling updates via apk - and distro upgrades via alpine? Yeah, that's about right. Upgrades are done just by running your normal package manager updates. >Is running on Debian likely to be as smooth? The Debian repository is community-maintained, but the maintainer does a good job and a few people have reported sucess using his packages. We also set it up so that upstream releases automatically update the Debian repo. You'll have to depend on him for support, though, not me - his nick is dlax and he hangs out in #sr.ht on irc.freenode.net; and his email is given on the package page. He's a helpful fellow. Alpine Linux is indeed the officially supported platform, though, and I highly recommend it. I wouldn't dream of running a different system in production, Alpine is simple and reliable and it's easy to fit the whole thing into your head.

Thank you. > If you remember where you found that link, let me know, so I can update it. I belive it was the "100% free and open source" link in this very post: https://sourcehut.org/blog/2020-04-30-the-sourcehut-hub-is-live/ https://sourcehut.org/blog/2020-04-30-the-sourcehut-hub-is-l... Which goes to: https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/?search=sr.ht https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/?search=sr.ht Which does indeed link the repos - which is good - but from a mindset of "how do I self-host?" maybe a bit bare bones. Looks like if one follows any of the repo links - the install info is at the bottom. May be an artifact of me being on my phone. As I said, I didn't look very hard. I really appreciate the no-nonsense/no hype vibe - but at the same time, I really do want a "here's a sane way to get up and running" front and center. Now, obviously there's a hosted offering - but at my current company we have a few projects that we feel more comfortable self-hosting due to the nature of some of our customers. For some, we avoid third parties, where we can.

  Thanks for the tip! I've updated that URL to the following, which is much more helpful: https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sourcehut https://sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sourcehut
