TwitterCard meta tags are supposed to use the attributes "name" and "content".
OpenGraph tags use the attributes "property" and "content".
Twitter itself is smart enough to detect broken meta tags and discover the TwitterCard
using "property" and "content", but other platforms that only implement parsing of TwitterCards
and not OpenGraph may fail to correctly detect the tags as they're under the wrong attributes.

> so there is no need to modify existing Open Graph protocol markup if it already exists." [0]

Until now it was returning a 500 because the upload plug were going
through the changeset and ending in the JSON encoder, which raised
because struct has to @derive the encoder.
Some software, like GoToSocial, expose replies as ActivityPub
Collections, but do not expose any item array directly in the object,
causing validation to fail via the ObjectID validator. Now, Pleroma will
drop that field in this situation too.
When someone isn't a superuser any more, they shouldn't see the reporsts any more either.
Here we delete the report notifications from a user when that user gets updated from being a superuser to a non-superuser.
This will prevent a user with a large number of posts from negatively affecting performance of the outgoing federation queue if they delete their account.
The header name was Report-To, not Reply-To.
In any case, that's now being changed to the Reporting-Endpoints HTTP
Response Header.
https://w3c.github.io/reporting/#headerhttps://github.com/w3c/reporting/issues/177
CanIUse says the Report-To header is still supported by current Chrome
and friends.
https://caniuse.com/mdn-http_headers_report-to
It doesn't have any data for the Reporting-Endpoints HTTP header, but
this article says Chrome 96 supports it.
https://web.dev/reporting-api/
(Even though that's come out one year ago, that's not compatible with
Network Error Logging which's still using the Report-To version of the
API)

Non-Create/Listen activities had their associated object field
normalized and fetched, but only to use their `id` field, which is both
slow and redundant. This also failed on Undo activities, which delete
the associated object/activity in database.
Undo activities will now render properly and database loads should
improve ever so slightly.
User keys are now generated on user creation instead of "when needed",
to prevent race conditions in federation and a few other issues. This
migration will generate keys missing for local users.
This fixes a race condition bug where keys could be regenerated
post-federation, causing activities and HTTP signatures from an user to
be dropped due to key differences.
As this plug is called on every request, this should reduce load on the
database by not requiring to select on the users table every single
time, and to instead use the by-ID user cache whenever possible.
There are two reasons for adding a GET endpoint:
0: Barely displaying the form does not change anything on the server.
1: It makes frontend development easier as they can now use a link,
instead of a form, to allow remote users to interact with local ones.
Some software, like GoToSocial, expose replies as ActivityPub
Collections, but do not expose any item array directly in the object,
causing validation to fail via the ObjectID validator. Now, Pleroma will
drop that field in this situation too.
The (request-target) used by Pleroma is non-standard, but many HTTP
signature implementations do it this way due to a misinterpretation of
the draft 06 of HTTP signatures: "path" was interpreted as not having
the query, though later examples show that it must be the absolute path
with the query part of the URL as well.
This behavior is kept to make sure most software (Pleroma itself,
Mastodon, and probably others) do not break, but Pleroma now accepts
signatures for a (request-target) containing the query, as expected by
many HTTP signature libraries, and clarified in the draft 11 of HTTP
signatures.
Additionally, the new draft renamed (request-target) to @request-target.
We now support both for incoming requests' signatures.
`context` fields for objects and activities can now be generated based
on the object/activity `inReplyTo` field or its ActivityPub ID, as a
fallback method in cases where `context` fields are missing for incoming
activities and objects.
Incoming Pleroma replies to a Misskey thread were rejected due to a
broken context fix, which caused them to not be visible until a
non-Pleroma user interacted with the replies.
This fix properly sets the post-fix object context to its parent Create
activity as well, if it was changed.
These objects represent from 30 to 70% of the rows on the objects table,
based on numbers from a few live instances (single-user, small, large.)
As those pseudo-objects prevent creating objects with those actual IDs,
deleting them is a better solution. This could have happened if an
object used another object's ID as its context.
This field replaces the now deprecated conversation_id field, and now
exposes the ActivityPub object `context` directly via the MastoAPI
instead of relying on StatusNet-era data concepts.
This field seems to be a left-over from the StatusNet era.
If your application uses `pleroma.conversation_id`: this field is
deprecated.
It is currently stubbed instead by doing a CRC32 of the context, and
clearing the MSB to avoid overflow exceptions with signed integers on
the different clients using this field (Java/Kotlin code, mostly; see
Husky and probably other mobile clients.)
This should be removed in a future version of Pleroma. Pleroma-FE
currently depends on this field, as well.
30 to 70% of the objects in the object table are simple JSON objects
containing a single field, 'id', being the context's ID. The reason for
the creation of an object per context seems to be an old relic from the
StatusNet era, and has only been used nowadays as an helper for threads
in Pleroma-FE via the `pleroma.conversation_id` field in status views.
An object per context was created, and its numerical ID (table column)
was used and stored as 'context_id' in the object and activity along
with the full 'context' URI/string.
This commit removes this field and stops creation of objects for each
context, which will also allow incoming activities to use activity IDs
as contexts, something which was not possible before, or would have been
very broken under most circumstances.
The `pleroma.conversation_id` field has been reimplemented in a way to
maintain backwards-compatibility by calculating a CRC32 of the full
context URI/string in the object, instead of relying on the row ID for
the created context object.
Moderators were able to delete statusses via pleroma-fe. For that reason I now gave them :messages_delete by default.
They are also able to recieve reports through the notifications. For that reason I now gave them :reports_manage_reports by default.
They were also able to see deactivated accounts through pleroma-fe. However
* they were unable to tell if the account is deactivated or not (which was a bug and fixed by thes privileges MR this commit is part of)
* they were not able to actually change the activation state.
Because of this, I decided to *not* give them the privilege :users_manage_activation_state as this would give significantly more
privileges, while not giving it will actually improve the current experience as it works around the existing bug of not showing activation state.
This implements fully_qualify_emoji/1, which will return the
fully-qualified version of an emoji if it knows of one, or return the
emoji unmodified if not.
This code generates combinations per emoji: for each FE0F, all possible
combinations of the character being removed or staying will be
generated. This is made as an attempt to find all partially-qualified
and unqualified versions of a fully-qualified emoji.
I have found *no cases* for which this would be a problem, after
browsing the entire emoji list in emoji-test.txt. This is safe, and,
sadly, most likely the sanest too.
Tries fully-qualifying emoji when receiving them, by adding the emoji
variation sequence to the received reaction emoji.
This issue arises when other instance software, such as Misskey, tries
reacting with emoji that have unqualified or minimally qualified
variants, like a red heart. Pleroma only accepts fully qualified emoji
in emoji reactions, and refused those emoji. Now, Pleroma will attempt
to properly qualify them first, and reject them if checks still fail.
This commit contains changes to tests proposed by lanodan.

This is based on me setting one up, but I kept it general with mostly linking to other documentation.
The idea is that to just provide some Pleroma-specific info, maybe give some pointers, and point to the right (external) docs.
It used a timer to sleep.
But time also goes on when doing other things, so depending on hardware, the timings could be off.
I slightly changed the tests so we still test what we functionally want.
Instead of waiting until the cache expires I now have a function to expire the test and use that.
That means we're not testing any more if the cache really expires after a certain amount of time,
but that's the responsability of the dependency imo, so shouldn't be a problem.
I also changed `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint, :http, :ip` to `127.0.0.1` because that's the setting people typically have,
and I see no reason to do it differently.
Especially since it's an exernal ip, which may come over as weird or suspicious to people.
It is possible for an earlier Update to be received by us later.
For this, we now
(1) only allows Updates to poll counts if there is no updated field,
or the updated field is the same as the last updated date or
creation date;
(2) does not allow updating anything if the updated field
is older than the last updated date or creation date;
(3) allows updating updatable fields otherwise (normal updates);
(4) if only the updated field is changed, it does not create
a new history item on its own.
In Create validator we do not validate the object data,
but that is because the object itself will go through the
pipeline again, which is not the case for Update. Thus,
we added validation for objects in Update activities.
I renamed some tags before, but forgot to rename the pipelines
I also had some tags which I forgot to add to the config, description, etc.
These have now been done/added
The previous pictures were labeled as public domain, but are actually a collage of pictures under other licenses.
I now replaced them with a jpeg of simply a white pixel.
I used keyword_list[:key], but if the key doesn't exist, it will return nil. I actually expect a list and further down the code I use that list.
I believe the key should always be present, but in case it's not, it's better to return an empty list instead of nil. That way the code wont fail further down the line.
During attachment upload Pleroma returns a "description" field. Pleroma-fe has an MR to use that to pre-fill the image description field, <https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma-fe/-/merge_requests/1399>
* This MR allows Pleroma to read the EXIF data during upload and return the description to the FE
* If a description is already present (e.g. because a previous module added it), it will use that
* Otherwise it will read from the EXIF data. First it will check -ImageDescription, if that's empty, it will check -iptc:Caption-Abstract
* If no description is found, it will simply return nil, just like before
* When people set up a new instance, they will be asked if they want to read metadata and this module will be activated if so
This was taken from an MR i did on Pleroma and isn't finished yet.
I first focussed on getting things working
Now that they do and we know what tags there are, I put some thought in providing better names
I use the form <what_it_controls>_<what_it_allows_you_to_do>
:statuses_read => :messages_read
:status_delete => :messages_delete
:user_read => :users_read
:user_deletion => :users_delete
:user_activation => :users_manage_activation_state
:user_invite => :users_manage_invites
:user_tag => :users_manage_tags
:user_credentials => :users_manage_credentials
:report_handle => :reports_manage_reports
:emoji_management => :emoji_manage_emoji
Tries fully-qualifying emoji when receiving them, by adding the emoji
variation sequence to the received reaction emoji.
This issue arises when other instance software, such as Misskey, tries

in emoji reactions, and refused those emoji. Now, Pleroma will attempt
to properly qualify them first, and reject them if checks still fail.
Deactivated users are only visible to users privileged with :user_activation since fc317f3b17
Here we also make sure the users who are deactivated get the status deactivated for users who are allowed to see these users
Instead of `Pleroma.User.all_superusers()` we now use `Pleroma.User.all_superusers(:report_handle)`
I also changed it for sending emails, but there were no tests.
This should eventually replace the Pleroma.User.all_superusers/0 function
* I added a new param `is_privileged` in User.query
* Now we can fetch all users with a specified privilege
Before we deleted the notifications, but that was a side effect and didn't always trigger any more.
Now we just hide them when an unprivileged user asks them.
This reverts commit 89667189b8 and cdc5bbe836.
This is a side effect when changing user role.
The goal was to not have report notifications when someone isn't admin or moderator any more.
But this won't be triggered when we change the privilege tags for a role, so we can't use this sollution any more.
There was another solution to filter out report notifications during fetch.
It wasn't merged because this seemed 'cleaner' at the time, but now it seems the better sollution.
I'll add it in the next commit.
I still had three endpoints I didn't really know what to do with them. I added them under separate tags
* :instance_delete
* :moderation_log_read
* :stats_read
I also checked and these are the last changes done by MR https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3480/diffs this is trying to fix
One of the things we do during the tests is change the config. But that's global state and different tests were interfering.
E.g. one test would set `clear_config([:instance, :admin_privileges], [:statuses_read])`, but while that runs, another test may
do `clear_config([:instance, :admin_privileges], [:user_invite])`. Now the code for the first test checks the setting, and it
finds `:user_invite` instead of `:statuses_read`.
Now the modules where this happens are marked to run synchronously, so they don't interfere with each other.
The list of TLS versions was added by
8bd2b6eb13 when hackney version was
pinned to 1.15.2. Later hackney version was upgraded
(166455c884) but the list of TLS
versions wasn't removed. From the hackney point of view, this list has
been replaced by the OTP defaults since 0.16.0
(734694ea4e24f267864c459a2f050e943adc6694).
It looks like the same issue already occurred before:
0cb7b0ea84.

* rejected_shortcodes is defined as a list of strings in the
configuration description. As such, database-based configuration was
led to handle those settings as strings, and not as the actually
expected type, Regex.
* This caused each message passing through this MRF, if a rejected
shortcode was set and the emoji did not exist already on the instance,
to fail federating, as an exception was raised, swiftly caught and
mostly silenced.
* This commit fixes the issue by introducing new behavior: strings are
now handled as perfect matches for an emoji shortcode (meaning that if
the emoji-to-be-pulled's shortcode is in the blacklist, it will be
rejected), while still supporting Regex types as before.
It retrieved two ReportNotes and then checked one of them. But the order isn't guaranteed, while the test tested on the content of the first ReportNote.
I made the test on the content more generic
When someone isn't a superuser any more, they shouldn't see the reporsts any more either.
Here we delete the report notifications from a user when that user gets updated from being a superuser to a non-superuser.
elixir gettext current does not fully support fallback to another language [0].
But it might in the future. We adapt it so that all languages in Accept-Language
headers are received by Pleroma.Web.Gettext. User.languages is now a comma-separated
list.
[0]: https://github.com/elixir-gettext/gettext/issues/303
For an example, here, zh is not supported, but zh_Hans and zh_Hant
are. If the user asks for zh, we should choose a variant for them
instead of fallbacking to default.
Some browsers (e.g. Firefox) does not allow users to customize
their language codes. For example, there is no zh-Hans, but only
zh, zh-CN, zh-TW, zh-HK, etc. This provides a workaround for
those users suffering from bad design decisions.
For some reason I had a test who suddenly failed, mix test test/pleroma/web/o_auth/app_test.exs:54. A user has a list of applications and this test adds them and then sees if the list it gets back is the same as the apps it added.
When I ran mix test a day before I didn't have this problem and when I pushed code today in a different MR, the pipeline succeeded (see https://git.pleroma.social/ilja/pleroma/-/jobs/205827), yet locally it failed. So it seems the test can sometimes succeed and sometimes fail, which makes it untrustworthy.
The failure I see is because the returned list is in reverse order. I assume that's not per sé wrong. You just want to know if the apps you added are actually there. I fixed the test by first ordering the lists before comparing.
AFAICT (and as far as that's relevant) the test got introduced in commit cb2a072e62
Even though latest PleromaFE supports displaying these properly, mobile
apps still exist, so I think we should offer a workaround to those who
want it.
Elixir 1.13 does not allow them in raw form anymore, resulting in errors
like this when running the test:
== Compilation error in file test/pleroma/web/rich_media/parser_test.exs ==
** (SyntaxError) test/pleroma/web/rich_media/parser_test.exs:136:45: invalid bidirectional formatting character in string: \u202C. If you want to use such character, use it in its escaped \u202C form instead
0: Use the CommonAPI unfollow function to make sure the
unfollow activity is federated.
1: Limit the follow and unfollow to local followers only,
while let the romote servers decide whether to move their followers.
Ref: emit-move
So we can skip updating and installing the same packages a million
times. It will still grab the hex.pm stuff -- maybe we can find a way to
avoid this, too.
Erratic tests are now ran in their own task, so we don't block
normal testing. The runtime is under a minute, so even if this one
has to be retried, it shouldn't take forever.
Mastodon uses the Reject activity also for the purpose of removing
a follower, in addition to reject a follow request. We should
also update the original Follow activity in this case.
Notes:
- QuestionValidator didn't have a :name field but that seems like a mistake
- `_fields` functions can't inherit others because of some Validators
- bto/bcc fields were absent in activities, also seems like a mistake
(Well IIRC we don't or barely support bto/bcc anyway)
* Policies were put under a new module (Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.Policy instead of Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF), but this wasn't changed in the Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF @mrf_config_descriptions
* I don't have a unit test to prevent similar problems in the future because I don't find a proper way to do it
* The descriptions in the unit tests are defined in the unit tests, so if someone changes module names in the code, the tests wont see it

The original approach to search in GIN indexes is to use

while `to_tsvector(config, text)` does. This commit changed the
query to use the two-argument `to_tsvector()`.

The `::regconfig::oid` hack is needed because Postgrex does not support

* Policies were put under a new module (Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.Policy instead of Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF), but this wasn't changed in the Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF @mrf_config_descriptions
* I don't have a unit test to prevent similar problems in the future because I don't find a proper way to do it
* The descriptions in the unit tests are defined in the unit tests, so if someone changes module names in the code, the tests wont see it
* The list is generated in Pleroma.Docs.Generator.list_behaviour_implementations, but I can't do a check in the when clause of the function to see if the provided module is a behaviour or not.
AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but
* People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro
* People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means
I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP)

* kePlaceholder and valuePlaceholder of quarantined_instances where in wrong case, should be snake_case
* The mrf simple and transparency exclusion were already OK
* I also added for keywordpolicy as well now. It was done in the admin-fe, but is better to be done here
* I also added comments to explain why we did the _info keys (backwards compatibility)
* ./configuration/mrf.md
* Change example
* ./configuration/cheatsheet.md
* Change descriptions to include that a reason is given
* CHANGELOG.md
* Add as breaking change
Added a new field in the nodeinfo called quarantined_instances_info
This holds an object like `"quarantined_instances_info":{"quarantined_instances":{"quar.inst":{"reason":"whatever reason"}}}}`
It's easiest (and imo most proper) to use tuples {"instance, "reason"} in BE,
but for FE maps like %{"instance": "instance", "reason", "reason"} are better.
I changed it so that node_info returns maps now for simple_policy and quarantined instances.
When a setting was deprecated, the code would stop checking for the rest of the possible deprications. This also meant that the settings weren't rewritten to the new settings for deprecated settings besides the first one.
No test was done for quarantined instances yet. I added a factory for followers_only notes and checked
* That no followers only post is send when the target server is quarantined
* That a followers only post is send when the target server is not quarantined
Fixes a lot of warnings like the following while running the testsuite:
warning: passing a {module, function, args} tuple to Plug.Parsers.MULTIPART is deprecated. Please see Plug.Parsers.MULTIPART module docs for better approaches to configuration
This might mean no more dynamic configuration but there seems to be the same limitation two lines underneath anyway.
This brings them more in line with Mastodon.
- Deduplicates display name from the title and content
- Removes arbitrary limits on the size of the embedded image
- Removes angled double quotes from embed descriptions. These would normally just indicate that the content is a quote, but that is already implied by the content being in an embed.
Since mime 1.6.0:
warning: MIME.valid?/1 is deprecated. Use MIME.extensions(type) != [] instead
As for the bitstring(type) part it's because MIME.extensions only expects a string.
https://github.com/elixir-plug/mime/issues/43
OpenAPI: Fix `date-time` being specified as an `integer` in OpenAPI spec (when it should be a `string`) in AccountCreateResponse
See merge request pleroma/pleroma!3382
- save object ids on pin, instead of activity ids
- pins federation
- removed pinned_activities field from the users table
- activityPub endpoint for user pins
- pulling remote users pins
Sometimes people put emoji in the subject, which results in the subject
looking broken if someone replies to it from a server that does not
have the said emoji under the same shortcode. This patch solves the problem
by extending the emoji set available in the summary to that of the parent
post.
If we avoid URI.merge unless we know we need it we reduce the edge cases we could encounter.
The site would need to both have "//" in the %URI{:path} and the image needs to be a relative URL.

## Unreleased
### Changed
### Added
### Fixed
### Removed
## 2.5.0 - 2022-12-23
### Removed
- MastoFE
- Quack, the logging backend that pushes to Slack channels
### Changed
- **Breaking:** Elixir >=1.11 is now required (was >= 1.9)
- Allow users to remove their emails if instance does not need email to register
- Uploadfilter `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Exiftool` has been renamed to `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Exiftool.StripLocation`

### Added
- `activeMonth` and `activeHalfyear` fields in NodeInfo usage.users object
- Experimental support for Finch. Put `config :tesla, :adapter, {Tesla.Adapter.Finch, name: MyFinch}` in your secrets file to use it. Reverse Proxy will still use Hackney.
- `ForceMentionsInPostContent` MRF policy
- PleromaAPI: Add remote follow API endpoint at `POST /api/v1/pleroma/remote_interaction`

# How to use a different domain name for Pleroma and the users it serves
Pleroma users are primarily identified by a `user@example.org` handle, and you might want this identifier to be the same as your email or jabber account, for instance.
However, in this case, you are almost certainly serving some web content on `https://example.org` already, and you might want to use another domain (say `pleroma.example.org`) for Pleroma itself.
Pleroma supports that, but it might be tricky to set up, and any error might prevent you from federating with other instances.
*If you are already running Pleroma on `example.org`, it is no longer possible to move it to `pleroma.example.org`.*
## Account identifiers
It is important to understand that for federation purposes, a user in Pleroma has two unique identifiers associated:
- A webfinger `acct:` URI, used for discovery and as a verifiable global name for the user across Pleroma instances. In our example, our account's acct: URI is `acct:user@example.org`
- An author/actor URI, used in every other aspect of federation. This is the way in which users are identified in ActivityPub, the underlying protocol used for federation with other Pleroma instances.
In our case, it is `https://pleroma.example.org/users/user`.
Both account identifiers are unique and required for Pleroma. An important risk if you set up your Pleroma instance incorrectly is to create two users (with different acct: URIs) with conflicting author/actor URIs.
## WebFinger
As said earlier, each Pleroma user has an `acct`: URI, which is used for discovery and authentication. When you add @user@example.org, a webfinger query is performed. This is done in two steps:
1. Querying `https://example.org/.well-known/host-meta` (where the domain of the URL matches the domain part of the `acct`: URI) to get information on how to perform the query.
This file will indeed contain a URL template of the form `https://example.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource={uri}` that will be used in the second step.
2. Fill the returned template with the `acct`: URI to be queried and perform the query: `https://example.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:user@example.org`
## Configuring your Pleroma instance
**_DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONFIGURE YOUR INSTANCE THIS WAY IF YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE_**
### Configuring Pleroma
Pleroma has a two configuration settings to enable using different domains for your users and Pleroma itself. `host` in `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint` and `domain` in `Pleroma.Web.WebFinger`. When the latter is not set, it defaults to the value of `host`.
*Be extra careful when configuring your Pleroma instance, as changing `host` may cause remote instances to register different accounts with the same author/actor URI, which will result in federation issues!*
- `domain` - is the domain for which your Pleroma instance has authority, it's the domain used in `acct:` URI. In our example, `domain` would be set to `example.org`. This is used in WebFinger account ids, which are the canonical account identifier in some other fediverse software like Mastodon. **If you change `domain`, the accounts on your server will be shown as different accounts in those software**.
- `host` - is the domain used for any URL generated for your instance, including the author/actor URL's. In our case, that would be `pleroma.example.org`. This is used in AP ids, which are the canonical account identifier in Pleroma and some other fediverse software. **You should not change this after you have set up the instance**.
### Configuring WebFinger domain
Now, you have Pleroma running at `https://pleroma.example.org` as well as a website at `https://example.org`. If you recall how webfinger queries work, the first step is to query `https://example.org/.well-known/host-meta`, which will contain an URL template.
Therefore, the easiest way to configure `example.org` is to redirect `/.well-known/host-meta` to `pleroma.example.org`.

When you push changes, a pipeline will start some automated jobs. These are done with so called [runners](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/), services that run somewhere on a server and run these automated jobs. These jobs typically run tests and should pass. If not, you probably need to fix something.
Generally, Pleroma provides a runner, so you don't need to set up your own. However, if for whatever reason you want to set up your own, here's some high level instructions.
1. We use docker to run the jobs, so you should install that. For Debian, you need to allow non-free packages in the [source list](https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList). Then you can install docker with `apt install docker-compose`.
2. You can [install](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/index.html) and [configure](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/index.html) a Gitlab-runner. It's probably easiest to install from the packages, but there are other options as well.
3. When registering the runner, you'll need some values. You can find them in the project under your own name. Choose "Settings", "CI/CD", and then expand "Runners". For executor you can choose "docker". For default image, you can use the image used in <https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/blob/develop/.gitlab-ci.yml#L1> (although it shouldn't matter much).

### Mastodon interface
If the Pleroma interface isn't your thing, or you're just trying something new but you want to keep using the familiar Mastodon interface, we got that too!
Just add a "/web" after your instance url (e.g. <https://pleroma.soycaf.com/web>) and you'll end on the Mastodon web interface, but with a Pleroma backend! MAGIC!
The Mastodon interface is from the Glitch-soc fork. For more information on the Mastodon interface you can check the [Mastodon](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/) and [Glitch-soc](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/) documentation.
Remember, what you see is only the frontend part of Mastodon, the backend is still Pleroma.

It also assumes that you have administrative rights, either as root or a user with [sudo permissions](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-delete-and-grant-sudo-privileges-to-users-on-a-debian-vps). If you want to run this guide with root, ignore the `sudo` at the beginning of the lines, unless it calls a user like `sudo -Hu pleroma`; in this case, use `su <username> -s $SHELL -c 'command'` instead.

If you're running this from a low-powered virtual machine, it should work though it will take some time. There were no issues on a VPS with a single core and 1GB of RAM; if you are using an even more limited device and run into issues, you can try creating a swapfile or use a more powerful machine running Gentoo to [cross build](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Cross_build_environment). If you have a wait ahead of you, now would be a good time to take a break, strech a bit, refresh your beverage of choice and/or get a snack, and reply to Arch users' posts with "I use Gentoo btw" as we do.

If you do not plan to make any modifications to your Pleroma instance, cloning directly from the main repo will get you what you need. However, if you plan on doing any contributions to upstream development, making changes or modifications to your instance, making custom themes, or want to play around--and let's be honest here, if you're using Gentoo that is most likely you--you will save yourself a lot of headache later if you take the time right now to fork the Pleroma repo and use that in the following section.

There are two ways to install Pleroma. You can use OTP releases or do a from-source installation. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it, it is easily administered via the provided shell script to open up a remote console, start/stop/restart the release, start in the background, send remote commands, and more. With from source installations you install Pleroma from source, meaning you have to install certain dependencies like Erlang+Elixir and compile Pleroma yourself.
[YunoHost](https://yunohost.org) is a server operating system aimed at self-hosting. The YunoHost community maintains a package of Pleroma which allows you to install Pleroma on YunoHost. You can install it via the normal way through the admin web interface, or through the CLI. More information can be found at [the repo of the package](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pleroma_ynh).
## Questions
Questions and problems related to the YunoHost parts can be done through the [regular YunoHost channels](https://yunohost.org/en/help).
