fix(deps): pin Hackney to the connection-leak fix
An unpooled Hackney 4 connection that ends without a reusable socket -- a
body cut short by the peer, a bodyless 204/304, or a failed read -- parks
in its `closed` state forever, holding every refc binary it read.
read_full_body/2 hands back `socket = undefined`, so it never reaches the
reuse check; `closed(enter)` arms a stop timer only for pooled
connections; and an unpooled connection is owned by hackney_conn_sup, so
the owner-DOWN cleanup never fires.

Nothing here can work around it. Since 4.0 Hackney ignores `with_body`
and always returns a fully read binary, so a synchronous request never
yields a handle to close, and the short read still reports {:ok, body}.
Media proxy warming hits this whenever an attachment fetch is cut short
and the outbound proxy is used as a CONNECT tunnel, since tunnels are
never pooled.

Pin the fix, a single commit on top of the 4.7.2 tag, until it ships in a
release. While it is a git dep Hackney drops out of `mix deps.audit` and
`mix hex.outdated`, so this wants moving back to hex promptly.

About

Pleroma is a microblogging server software that can federate (= exchange messages with) other servers that support ActivityPub. What that means is that you can host a server for yourself or your friends and stay in control of your online identity, but still exchange messages with people on larger servers. Pleroma will federate with all servers that implement ActivityPub, like Friendica, GNU Social, Hubzilla, Mastodon, Misskey, Peertube, and Pixelfed.

Pleroma is written in Elixir and uses PostgresSQL for data storage. It's efficient enough to be ran on low-power devices like Raspberry Pi (though we wouldn't recommend storing the database on the internal SD card ;) but can scale well when ran on more powerful hardware (albeit only single-node for now).

For clients it supports the Mastodon client API with Pleroma extensions (see the API section on https://docs-develop.pleroma.social).

Installation

If you are running Linux (glibc or musl) on x86/arm, the recommended way to install Pleroma is by using OTP releases. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it. The installation instructions are available here.

From Source

If your platform is not supported, or you just want to be able to edit the source code easily, you may install Pleroma from source.

OS/Distro packages

Currently Pleroma is packaged for YunoHost, NixOS, Gentoo through GURU and Archlinux through AUR. You may find more at https://repology.org/project/pleroma/versions.
If you want to package Pleroma for any OS/Distros, we can guide you through the process on our community channels. If you want to change default options in your Pleroma package, please discuss it with us first.

Docker

While we don’t provide docker files, other people have written very good ones. Take a look at https://github.com/angristan/docker-pleroma or https://glitch.sh/sn0w/pleroma-docker.

Raspberry Pi

Community maintained Raspberry Pi image that you can flash and run Pleroma on your Raspberry Pi. Available here https://github.com/guysoft/PleromaPi.

Compilation Troubleshooting

If you ever encounter compilation issues during the updating of Pleroma, you can try these commands and see if they fix things:

  • mix deps.clean --all
  • mix local.rebar
  • mix local.hex
  • rm -r _build

If you are not developing Pleroma, it is better to use the OTP release, which comes with everything precompiled.
