The #littleFedi devs are working on the code, but I'm working on the systems. I'm mostly a sysadmin, not a coder.
So here's a sneak peek at what's happening on a cold Sunday evening:
* Starting littlebox-button ... [ ok ]
* Starting littlebox-online ... [ ok ]
* Starting littlebox-setup ... [ ok ]
littleBox Panel up: port 8081.
* ERROR: littlefedi failed to start
* Starting littlebox-usb ... [ ok ]
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
Setup: littleBox-806095, http://192.168.44.1:8081
It's running Alpine Linux on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. Yes, THAT Raspberry Pi.
Alpine Linux is a perfect fit. But one of the next steps will be to bring all this to NetBSD, on supported hardware.
Your own Fediverse instance. Plug and play.
Stay tuned!
@kitten_tech@fosstodon.org there's already a preliminary NetBSD support for the entire system (and remembet that littleFedi runs perfectly on all the BSDs). There are some problems (like some issues with the wifi interface), but a ethernet version is also planned.
