A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

How do you configure your webfingers to support multiple subdomains that host AP services?

If a service was serving the webfinger, it could guess which account needed to be returned based on the requesters user agent. If the UA was mastodon, it could return the mastodon link rel, if pixelfed then return that link rel, etc.

Might be able to rig it with some more complex conditional logic and regex in nginx as a bandaid. AFAICT, the webfinger spec doesn't really allow for this, which if true, was pretty short sighted.

I haven't considered more in depth S2S connections. I'll have to watch the traffic logs and see what exactly is being requested and see if all of it can be directed accordingly. I see now you commented on that issue. Also, to be clear, I'm still running the services in subdomains, but I'm trying to use user@domain.tld as the discovery account.
