Installing Debby
05/20/25
ssh keys
jump from cerealbox to login debby:
ssh cerealbox ssh xpub@145.24.152.64 (@ip address)
make a shared terminal:
tmux attach
find my ssh keys:
cd USER ls -la (show hidden files) cd .ssh cat (the key I want to copy)
edit config file (nano) in .ssh folder, copy and edit cerealbox config and change host, user and ip address
ssh debby (should now be possible) --> not yet
but we made a local ssh in the config (using debbys local ip address)
ssh debby_local
the config file in my .ssh folder is a listing of all my servers
to run certain install processes go to the root access
$ su
installing mastodon software
- Kiara kept some notes on the installation process here: User:Kiara/Memo#Mastodon_glitch-soc_installation
- we were mostly following this tutorial: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/install/
- although its not very well documented and has some gaps (which we tried to note down on kiaras memo)
RSS
Prototyping session w/ Joseph pad
- death of the hyperlink
- how shift happened from blogging to Social media (speaking about hosting structure, customization, profit, immmaterial labour...)
- content targeting nowadays is hyper individual compared to social media 10 years ago or blogging
- spectacularize everything to be heard (affects how we practice solidarity)
- in 2014 google took feed reader software down, a move massively influencing the hyperlink and blogging landscape
- Langdon Winner
- (Autonomous Technology, Do artifacts have politics?) epistemological Luddism method of not using a certain technology (or object) and then recognize what changes/ what is different
- we download an rss reader software
- we create our own feed on cerealbox
- https://rss-bridge.org/ allows to add website updates to your rss reader by defining elements with a css selector
Planetplanet a rss aggregator, combines many feeds of different online communities like Gnome Deutschland, Linux Chixs, Mozilla Zine
Server 101 with Joseph
a port 80 = http
- we remove and install linux on virtual box new (kim, debian)
$ su -> enter pw -> $ apt install sudo nginx php8.2 (stay in root for next step) add user as sudo: $ nano /etc/group in the browser go to localhost
this is already our server, just $ su installing nginx (and php)
- now we want to add a cms (flatpress)
$ sudo wget https://github.com/flatpressblog/flatpress/archive/1.3.1.zip (you have to be in /var/www/html) $ unzip $ mv flatpress-1.3.1/ blog $ sudo apt install php-fpm $ sudo systemctl stop nginx $ sudo apt install apache2 $ sudo systemctl start apache2 in the browser go to localhost/blog give write access (inside of blog folder do) $ sudo chmod a+w fp-content/ continue to configure the cms in the browser (localhost/blog)
