* origin/develop: (159 commits) Fix CHANGELOG entry meant for next release Revert "Merge branch 'patch-fix-open-api-spec' into 'develop'" object_validator: Refactor most of validate/2 to a generic block date-times are always strings Fix function calls due to module name change Temp file leaked, oops Add more details to the cheatsheat for FollowBot MRF Prefer FollowBot naming convention vs Followbot Document new FollowBot MRF More tests to validate Followbot is behaving Remove Task.async as it is broken here and probably a premature optimization anyway Only need to validate a follow request is generated for now Revert Do not try to follow local users. Their posts are already available locally on the instance. Change module name to FollowbotPolicy Add follow_requests_outstanding_since?/3 to Pleroma.Activity Lint Better checking of previous follow request attempts Prevent duplicates from being processed Make the followbot only dispatch follow requests once per 30 day period ... |

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
OTP releases (Recommended)
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.
- Alpine Linux
- Arch Linux
- CentOS 7
- Debian-based
- Debian-based (jp)
- FreeBSD
- Gentoo Linux
- NetBSD
- OpenBSD
- OpenBSD (fi)
OS/Distro packages
Currently Pleroma is not packaged by any OS/Distros, but if you want to package it for one, 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.
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 --allmix local.rebarmix local.hexrm -r _build
If you are not developing Pleroma, it is better to use the OTP release, which comes with everything precompiled.
