Great!
When I saw "Prerequisites: Something that can run Docker/OCI images" in the documentation, my interpretation was that containers are needed. It also says "You need to run at least two copies of the Docker image". Maybe you want to change the wording a bit.
I would also collaborate on writing a setup script for Takahe then!
I really like to write a setup script instead of following manual installation guides. So for every software I try, my first step is to write a script that turns a fresh Debian installation into a running instance. (MicroBlogPub needs Python 3.10 which is not in Debian stable, so I would use Ubuntu)
- mg 4y agoHmm.. does not look good for the non-Docker setup. The developer replied with "I am deliberately avoiding offering a non-Docker install path" and closed the issue: https://github.com/jointakahe/takahe/issues/44 https://github.com/jointakahe/takahe/issues/44 Creating a non-Docker fork would then probably be an uphill battle.

That doesn't mean you can't write and share a script for people who want to install it without Docker. It means that he doesn't want to take responsibility for non-Docker installation scripts as part of the official documentation (yet), because if he did that he'd be on the hook to keep researching and updating those scripts in the future.
- manfre 4y agoThe non docker install path for almost any project is to run the individual scripts from the dockerfile, plus adding the CMD to systemd or similar.
