Write freely as a fediverse blog
#services #selfhosted #homelab
I have wanted to host my own fediverse/activity pub compatible server for a while – however I felt running a full on Mastodon server was to heavy for my use case. And other options seemed to take a bit too much effort to host for my liking.
I had all but given up until I came across Write Freely which is a blog focused platform that just so happens to share posts via activity pub. Setting it up was super simple as a single docker container and it supports single user mode, or multi user mode with very basic permissions.
I have put it up on a spare domain which I can use as my federated username @prra.xyz because it is generic I can also use it as a social media post engine for all my company accounts.
