スプリットショックウイルス †
@splitshockvirus I've installed Pleroma from stable branch this week. This my first time installing it and I don't get how a lot of things work, but at least building went without a hitch 🤷
@m0xee It's a lot easier with OTP. You basically don't have to worry about any of this.
But you can't customize your instance as much.
@splitshockvirus I'm using an old PowerPC MacMini to host it so OTP wasn't an option, I had to go through all this shit 😩
Worked just fine with Elixir 1.14.2 — that is what Void PowerPC had. Could that be the problem in your case?
Had to edit the users table manually to fix that. Haven't done this in years!
Maybe I didn't purge the dependancies when I did deps.clean but I ended up just reinstalling the directory and then moving configs and uploads.
It kept saying it was compiled with an OTP version earlier than 25.
In my case I think recreating the db from scratch would have been easier, but I'm learning about Pleroma and nothing is better than fixing the initially fscked up config.
The hardware I'm using is low-end by today's standards: it's a single-CPU 32-bit PowerPC box with only a gig of RAM. Everything is so slow: starting Pleroma takes a couple of minutes, logging in take several seconds, but it works! TBH I'm surprised I could get any ActivityPub software to work on this at all. PowerPC doesn't have NodeJS, doesn't have Go, but this thing works! It's amazing! 🤩
Maybe I should try hosting a Matrix server on it next. This is going to be a challenge with 1 gigabyte of RAM 🤪

I got it to work translation, I'm a brainlet, but this shit is actually difficult.
