@zvava@twtxt.net I am getting [2025/09/11 12:56:01.816] ⇒ please set config.host when trying to run “bbycll”. How to bypass that tiny hurdle?
@bender@twtxt.net as the host (eg twtxt.net) determines the canonical url of the instance in generated feed url metadata as well as every hash of every post made on the instance internally, i added this error message to make sure people don’t accidentally set up their instance on localhost :p for testing i set it to localhost:31212 and protocols to ["http"], it’s a recent addition that could definitely do with documenting in the getting started section
@bender@twtxt.net i also recently discovered there was a bug causing new users to initialize wrong leading to their posts not being saved :p ..and made breaking changes to how the config and database files are stored so um, make sure to clear your local tree before updating!
@bender@twtxt.net ty for attempting to test, though, it means a lot! lmk if u find any more silly things i need to clarify or fix :> be prepared for everything breaking during beta :p
Woot, thank you! Using a config.json like this:
{
"host": "localhost:31212",
"protocols": ["http"]
}
Indeed did the trick! I know it isn’t production ready, but I wanted to see with my own eyes, locally, how did it look. :-) I like where you are going! It is looking very nice, and polished. Can’t wait for an alpha, beta, and release!
