'su pleroma' will never work if 'pleroma' user has no password, which is
better for security purpose.
If admin has no 'sudo' binary, I'm expecting them to be skilled enough
to make their way on their own.
AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but
* People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro
* People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means
I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP)
While taking a final look at instance.gen before releasing I noticed
that the release_env task outputs messages in broken english. Upon
further inspection it seems to have even more severe issues which, in
my opinion, warrant it's at least temporary removal:
- We do not explain what it actually does, anywhere. Neither the task
docs nor instance.gen, nor installation instructions.
- It does not respect FHS on OTP releases (uses /opt/pleroma/config even
though we store the config in /etc/pleroma/config.exs).
- It doesn't work on OTP releases, which is the main reason it exists.
Neither systemd nor openrc service files for OTP include it.
- It is not mentioned in install guides other than the ones for Debian
and OTP releases.
Added ffmpeg/imagemagick checks to launch checks (if media preview proxy is enabled). Added documentation on installing optional media / graphics packages (imagemagick, ffmpeg, exiftool).
Since python doesn't have a way to lock deps for a particlar project
by default, I didn't bother with it. This resulted in mkdocs updating at
some point, bringing a breaking change to how tabs are declared and
broken tabs on docs-develop.pleroma.social. I've learned my lesson
and locked deps with pipenv in pleroma/docs!5. This MR updates Pleroma
docs to use the new tab style, fortunately my editor did most of it.
Closes#2045
* I added an include and use this include for the installation guides that already had this section
* I added the "Further reading" section as well as te "Questions" section to the English guides that didn't have it yet
* I added a first point "How Federation Works/Why is my Federated Timeline empty?" to link to lains blogpost about this because we still get this question a lot in the #pleroma support channel
* I reordered the list a bit
* I removed the Update section from the OTP install and added it to updating.md
* I also added a link to the updating.md from the OTP install page
* I added a Questions section to the OTP install, similar to the debian_based_en.md
* Restructured the updating.md a bit
I would very much also like to link to the changelog, but I don't know how to do it because I can't find the page in the docs?
