#Snac2

2025-11-11
How cool is @grunfink@comam.es's Snac2 over NetSurf?

The CSS has been created by @anzu@items.minimals.org (inspired by paper-dark and somewhat hacked by me). The only issue were CSS variables that libcss does not support (yet).

Unfortunately Snac relies on detail/summary HTML tag that is not yet properly handled by NetSurf. It would be nice to have a server.json option to open all forms in dedicated pages, so that a social network programmed in C in could be easily used through a browser programmed in C too!

bersih - bersih #snac2 instance. Sebelumnya ukuran foldernya sudah membengkak menjadi hampir 1GB

# du -sh /var/snac
909M    /var/snac

secara default, timeline_purge_days diatur ke 120 hari jadi untuk keperluan pembersihan ini ane set ke 3 hari saja. Edit file server.json kemudian jalankan purge

# snac purge /var/snac
# du -sh /var/snac
203M    /var/snac

lumayan menurunkan 700MB lebih.

Ich muss irgendwann im Januar meine #Snac Instanz umziehen, leider schließt mein jetziger Provider K&T. Dort wurde damals alles tiptop vorinstalliert, ich musste nur noch Updates machen. Sehr schade also.

Richtig toll wäre es, wenn #Snac2 auf einem #Uberspace laufen könnte, aber zwei (schlampig-schnelle) Tests von mir haben nicht funktioniert, als "copy/paste-Admin" komm ich da leider an meine Grenzen.
Wer könnte mich da später mal evtl. unterstützen?

I have to move my #Snac instance sometime in January, unfortunately my current provider K&T is closing down. Everything was pre-installed perfectly there, I just had to do updates. So it's a real shame.

It would be great if #Snac2 could run on #Uberspace, but two (quick and dirty) tests I did didn't work, and as a "copy/paste admin" I'm unfortunately at my limits.
Who could possibly help me with this later on?

Thanks for the signals. Chuffed my migration worked and really chuffed with #snac2 so far!

Hello world! Not sure if my followers have followed me to my shiny new #snac2 instance. If you see this, please send me a sign!

@amd yes, because #GotoSocial doesn't have relay feature right now and I love #Snac2

I've just updated my #Snac instance to version 2.84 👍 🎉
A lot of new great stuff, but this one is awesome: visibility scopes! Wooohoo!!
You don't know Snac? But you should: https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2
A simple, minimalistic and well documented #ActivityPub instance server written in C, no database needed, totally JavaScript-free, no cookies either, not much bullshit.

#snac2 2.84 with visibility scopes has been released!!

there’s also this thing that narrowly missed a release window if anyone wants an option to change it in reply -
https://codeberg.org/grunfink/snac2/pulls/493

tested on my instance and should be generally working

Kinda hard to tell if my issues with Tusky are related to #snac2 or #Tusky. I think I do better just flipping firefox tabs back and forth between accounts to find content, since the #snac instance doesn't have a full global feed.

for the resource usage, I can't complain (after literally complaining).

progress vps storage ane:

🟢 Install #FreeBSD minimal,
🟢 Install #BastilleBSD jails,
🟢 Install #garage object storage di dalam salah satu jail,
🟢 Install #postgresql di jails,
⚪ Install #Ente di jails,
⚪ Install #Gotosocial di jails,
⚪ Install #snac2 di jails,
⚪ Pasang pl-fe
🟢 Install #Caddy (atau Ferron untuk alternative?)
🟢 Cobain Garage untuk media storage gotosocial

pemakaian memory sekarang 567Mb dan CPU sekitar 7,4%.

Khusus ente ane masih mikir gimana cara buildnya, kalo langsung di VPS kayaknya ga bakalan selesai karena storage udah mepet sedangkan di local ane cuma ada ARM64 device. Mau emulasi kok bolak balik gagal.

Because I like torturing my Pentium Pro, I'm mentioning this one here. Just in case it should be of interest to anyone. Beware of the slightly nsfw second post in the thread. It's late, my boss is visiting, I had a few beers. It seemed like a good idea at the time. ;)

Yes, and I find it quite good.

And to run it as a #FastCGI, you don't even need a VPS: a cheap shared hosting supporting #CGI will run #snac2 just fine! https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html

That's why I prefer it to gotosocial.
Also I try to avoid #Go as much as possible cause it's a #Google's thing.

Snac is written in a pretty readable (and a bit clever, sometimes) #C.
And if you know C even a little bit, it's really worth a read.

Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.
