If you use PDS Gatekeeper you will want to make this change manually to your /pds/composer.yaml instead of using pdsadmin update. Using pdsadmin update clears out your current compose with the one from the PDS repo. Should be a oneliner change

This PDS server now supports two factor authentication via email. You can now activate 2FA in your account settings. Thanks to tangled.org/@baileytowns... by @baileytownsend.dev Hint for other PDS admins: When using Postfix as your mail server add ?tls=required at the end of the SMTP URL.

FYI #atproto: To use this new goat tool on the PDS server, create a shell alias like this: $ alias goat="docker exec -it pds goat" $ goat --version goat version v0.1.2-rev-c43d54a $ goat account --help NAME: goat account - commands for auth session and account management [...]

The fact that the Bluesky PBC retroactively modifies the PLC directory should be given greater importance. Even if it is only a technical formality. #atproto 🚨

FTR the app-view is up and has been for a few weeks. Ingesting terabytes of social media data is not trivial. I've worked to re-implement some experimental work by Divy into rsky-ingester, rsky-backfiller, and rsky-indexer When it's production ready, it'll move off of staging.blacksky.community

AT service operators and moderation thinkers: I put together an early proposal around infra abuse notices across organizational boundaries. really looking for feedback on this one, it is bait for counter-proposals and references to prior work!

Upon popular request, the status page -> altq.net/status.html now shows an estimate for the CAR file size when requesting an archive. See also this 🧵 -> bsky.app/profile/altq...

put out a new 'goat' release (v0.1.2) with basic support for PDS administration ('goat pds admin ...'). if you run it from a PDS instance it should find admin auth info automatically. hope to have this replace the 'pdsadmin' shell script over time

FYI: For whatever is happening now with Bluesky (slow/unavailable feeds), this server seems fine -> altq.net/status.html

you can now click a NSID in a record and it should redirect to the lexicon schema documentation

It's here! PDS MOOver now supports automated backups and restores that anyone can use! This also includes adversarial account migrations! pdsmoover.com

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

PDSlsOS 1.0

𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒏𝒐𝒘 search NSIDs on PDSls to go to their lexicon schemas (Only works if they are hosted on a repository and DNS resolution is setup)

If someone wants to play with new "aqfile" upload thingy... Please don't make me explode. jsr.io/@fry69/aqfile

At ~14:00 UTC, @VodafoneUK effectively dropped off the Internet, with traffic dropping to zero. No word from the provider on outage cause, and their network status checker page is currently unavailable. radar.cloudflare.com/traffic/as53... radar.cloudflare.com/routing/as53... x.com/Independent/...

The redirect links to the source repository and the Discord in my profile work again. I accidentally broke those when I turned the Cloudflare proxy off for this PDS.

FYI: This self-hosted PDS seems not to be affected by this issue. All events seem to get through fine and are viewable from Bluesky app, WhiteWind and other clients.

Hello from the #BlackSky PDS! (I should have my original domain handle sorted in a bit) Thanks to @fry69.dev and @bnewbold.net, whose online guides helped me finish migrating manually after two failures with web-based automated tools. whtwnd.com/fry69.dev/3l... whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net...

Current PDS MOOver stuff Normal Migrations - PDS MOOver pdsmoover.com Make sure your old account is deactivated - pdsmoover.com/turnoff.html Grabs any missing blobs - missing.pdsmoover.com

Blobs are now loaded directly from the PDS, no more bsky CDN They are not automatically loaded in the jetstream view, or while previewing records on the collection page, only in the record view, to keep load on PDSes reasonable

TIL that the `pdsadmin update` command does not really update the PDS image. It does not pull a newer version, it seems, but it will overwrite the `compose.yml` file (which erases the webroot binding for my custom web page). A manual "docker pull ghcr.io/bluesky-social/pds:0.4 " will do the trick.

okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back! hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network! docs.bsky.app/blog/incomin...

This video is probably dated, but migrating to a self-hosted PDS was easier and lower maintenance than I expected youtu.be/suB8Rc5PsZE?...

I literally just moved my bsky.social account ~2 minutes ago, it's really easy. Just go to https://pdsmoover.com/ and fill out the forms. Some good PDSes are: * altq.net: to get a code, send a DM to @altq.net * blacksky.app (open signup), also: blackcomra.de * Wafrn ( app.wafrn.net ) […]

This is fun: Use a split pane view with your Bluesky tab on one side and -> microcosm-jetstream-web.pages.dev/mapView/ on the other side. Then find and highlight your PDS in the map. If it is a low usage PDS like me, it will highlight every time a repository change gets send out (e.g. a "like").

From personally walking a few folks through this live and feedback received separately -- the hardest part of this process is literally just installing Go (Windows, Linux, MacOS Intel vs Silicon), `goat` and updating $PATH so they both work in your terminal. `brew install goat` could help

I added the mentioned config to the Caddyfile for this PDS. Since this posts works and the PDS got restarted, at least it did not break anything obvious. I'd very interested to hear if this actually does something.

@deedeevoom.altq.net Welcome 👋

The PDS server now has a Discord 🎉 -> discord.gg/f8dPH8SMGd Ask there if you want an invite code for an alt or test account (e.g. for testing login for an app without running your own PDS). Or if you have other questions or want to chat etc 🙂

For those who want to migrate their accounts to a new PDS, here is my write up (a bit long, but hopefully detailed and catches a few problems, including solutions). #atproto #atdev

This and other PDS now support a simple user administration interface, with these feature: - sign up - revoke OAuth apps - force logging out of other devices Available on this PDS here -> altq.net/account/ See also this article -> docs.bsky.app/blog/account... #atproto

FYI #atproto: I updated my PDS manually to 0.4.136 (backup first) with -> docker image pull ghcr.io/bluesky-social/pds:0.4 systemctl restart pds Apparently there was a minor issue with db migration, which can result in some errors/restarts, but no data loss. Details -> github.com/bluesky-soci...

Welcome to the guestbook for altq.net PDS Replies below will show up on the main web page

FYI: There is a feed for only self-hosted PDS accounts -> deer.social/profile/did:...

the outages will continue until the decentralization improves

every outage is a self-hosting radicalization event

the time of the bsky PDSes is over. the time for the self-hosters has begun

Test post while 2nd mushroom PDS outate

This is a test post, please ignore.
