<2022-09-21T17:58:22.000Z> mossband: Is comfyboy running on a commercial virtual private server or your personal server? It is a relatively small fedi instance....I'm wondering how comfyboy is set up.
<2022-09-21T18:20:55.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: We were initially set up on a vps but we’ve been running on a small personal server for probably the last 9 months
<2022-09-21T18:52:48.000Z> mossband: Thanks
<2022-09-21T19:11:51.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: Yep! Happy to answer any questions you have if you ever wanna start your own instance.
<2022-09-21T19:24:30.000Z> mossband: I had a few random ones: Is the server hardware like Raspberry Pi-sized or tower PC-sized? What's the (rough estimate) active user count on comfyboy? Does comfyboy use Pleroma? Have you had any trouble with users so far...any tips for dealing with bad users?
<2022-09-21T19:46:53.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: It’s running on about a 10 year old dell my university was giving away. We’re running pleroma. Originally we started on soapbox but I prefer the pleroma ui. We have about 15 users only probably 5 or 6 are active. And we have not had any bad users so far but I keep the applications so that I have to manually approve new users.
<2022-09-21T19:47:10.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: From what I’ve read though, pleroma with a single user will run on a pi
<2022-09-21T19:47:33.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: i would recommend finding some old tower or laptop you’re not using anymore tbh though
<2022-09-21T19:49:34.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: It doesn’t take much computing power but I do recommend having around 4g ram and a reliable and large hard drive
<2022-09-21T20:20:54.000Z> mossband: Some old computer. Ok, that's interesting
<2022-10-30T21:21:37.000Z> mossband: I set up my new instance at woodplate.club. By the way, how did you set the custom favicon (the tiny image on the browser tab)? I don't see other instances' favicons either
<2022-10-30T22:44:38.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: Are you running pleroma or soapbox?
<2022-10-30T22:44:57.000Z> Vril_Oreilly@comfyboy.club: I’m not sure how to set it for soapbox but I can help with pleroma
<2022-10-31T00:25:57.000Z> mossband: It's pleroma backend and frontend. I installed pleroma from the OTP release and I've been playing with config.exs. Pretty happy with it so far!
