Look after
your place.

Install and get started.

  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.

  Owner provisioning, instance settings, and service operation.

• Membership and invitations

  Set house rules and choose who can join.

• Connect Imvault

  Use your photo library when posting.

• Music and album discussions

  Review drafts and audiences before posting.

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.

• Restore and retention instructions
• Account exports and portability

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.
