Look after
your place.

Install and get started.

• Downloads, checksums, and installation

  Choose a release and follow the setup instructions for your system.

• Gentoo overlay

  Install through Portage with the supplied native services.

• Build from source or try the local demo

  The README is the starting point for the development setup.

Configure and look after it.

• Configuration

  Storage, mail, authentication, and instance settings.

• Accounts and invitations

  Provision administrators and manage access.

• Media storage

  Local disk, S3-compatible storage, and moving files.

• Connect Witmoot

  Choose when an album becomes a conversation.

• HTTPS reverse proxies

  Put a reverse proxy in front of the service before sharing it online.

Back up and recover.

Automatic daily backups are a starting point. Keep a protected copy on another machine and test a restore before you need one.

• Automatic backups

  What is included, verification, compression, retention, and checking failures.

• Operations and restore drills
• Accounts and data

Upgrade with a way back.

Read the release notes and upgrade instructions first. Make a verified backup before installing an update; database migrations can require restoring that backup to go back.

• Latest release and release notes
• Upgrade and rollback instructions

When something needs attention.

Start with the deployment guide for configuration and service setup. If you are stuck, search or open an issue with your app version, installation method, and the relevant error. Remove passwords, tokens, and private community data before sharing logs.
