I did it! I now have a kubernetes cluster!
Here is the config for bird.makeup, for those curious: https://git.sr.ht/~cloutier/bird.makeup/tree/master/item/k8s/dotmakeup.yaml
I'll see how it behaves in the next week or so, and then I'll start consolidating the various servers I have to it.
Also it's only in web server mode, it doesn't crawl yet. I will use the ordinal of the statefulset as the shard ID to enable crawling. Right now it has to be manually set per node
I'm so excited to share Mastopoet, a tool made by @raikas that allows you to capture Mastodon posts as beautiful images and share them across the Internet. This makes posts much more eye-catching in other social medias for instance.
Use the tool: https://mastopoet.ohjelmoi.fi/
Browse the source code: https://github.com/raikasdev/mastopoet
Mastopoet supports #MastodonBirdUI and options to show metrics in textual or icons or hide them completely.
Please note: If you use this tool to share toots, remember to copy the post text as alt text, thank you!
