Hello all,
Hubzilla version 11.4 was released recently, now has a new docker image built and should be ready for use.
On a technical note, if your setup involves connection pooling regarding your database, you will need to set
system.pdo_emulate_preparestotruewithin yourhtconfig.php. The 11.4 release of the docker image, has the appropriate line in the htconfig.php commented out, for your convenience; naturally if you edit your htconfig in other ways (CLI, etc) that will still work, as well. Whichever way you choose to deploy your instance, you have options available to you.If you are unsure about connection pooling, techbuzz has a great article on the subject, that you can access via the link at the end of this post.
Special thanks to the Hubzilla devs, and contributors for their ongoing work.
You can find their work at: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core
Please review the new release at: https://framagit.org/hubzilla/core/-/releases
And lastly, within the next hour or so, the docker image will be ready to go at: https://hub.docker.com/r/dhitchenor/hubzilla
I hope this finds you all well; please stay safe.
EDIT: Here is the TechBuzz Online article that I mentioned earlier https://techbuzzonline.com/database-connection-pooling-guide/
Truth be told, this is what happens when devs try to pitch and explain their own work to people. That is, there has been some input from the community, but it can be improved.
Hubzilla has probably got the best documentation of all Fediverse projects, fairly recently re-written from scratch by a user. But the official website doesn't link to it.
yes its a good featureful project but the landing page doesnt convey that, homepage of the project doesnt look serious (compared to say bonfire/misskey etc. where you know exactly what the project is about on their project page), aesthetics matter too eventually. and someone wanting to know more about the project wouldnt know anything beside what the homepage shows, no matter how good documentation has been made by users.
