Funkwhale @funkwhale@mastodon.eliotberriot.com

Let me introduce the brand new #Funkwhale Network page!

https://network.funkwhale.audio/

It's a magical place where you can:

- Browse data about the network
- Submit your instance for inclusion in the statistics

Collected data is made available at https://network.funkwhale.audio/dashboards/. More dashboards will come in the future, but you can already have an idea of the number of instances, active users, and the growth!

If you own an instance, simply visit https://network.funkwhale.audio/ to have it included :)

Quick reminder that if you manage a #Funkwhale pod and are ok with basic stats to be collected, you can submit your pod domain on https://network.funkwhale.audio/

It's helpful to have an idea of the size of the network, the number of active users, the deployment of new versions, etc.

By doing so, you'll contribute to those dashboards: https://network.funkwhale.audio/dashboards/d/overview/funkwhale-network-overview?orgId=1

You can opt-out at any time, from your pod settings (older stats will be deleted as well if you do).

Thanks!

Fedichive is archiving the fediverse, but they're using a custom user agent to do it so

if you put this into your mastodon.nginx file, it's prevent them from pulling from your instance:

if ($http_user_agent ~* (fedichive)) {
return 403;
}

Heads up tho, they can still pull your servers toots from other servers that haven't blocked them, so please boost and help spread awareness <3

At this point, we still need to list requirements and design the feature at a higher level before starting implementation work.

This happens at https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/s7GTeHwU/podcast-support

The good news is that Podcasts support is on our roadmap (https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/s7GTeHwU/podcast-support) and likely to be scheduled for the 0.21 release, which is due by the end of 2019 (or early 2020).

In terms of implementation skills and work, we'll need UX and UI design, API/Python dev (for the back-end) and Javascript dev for the web UI. And people willing to review / test all the corresponding contributions.

But right now, what we need is consensus on what "Podcast support" actually means before we move on to the implementation ;)

So, if you're willing to help, what you can do is going to https://governance.funkwhale.audio/d/s7GTeHwU/podcast-support and share your use cases, ideas and feedback on what have already been discussed there.

As soon as we have basic consensus on the feature, we can start the implementation work. I'd love to see a hackathon focused on this topic and I really think it could help to achieve this!

Just did something pretty cool for @funkwhale https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/merge_requests/853

@aab @agaitaarino @irola @siroco @CorioPsicologia @liberaturadio @eliotberriot @radioalmaina @birrasybits @funkwhale @PostApocalipsisNau ... and about bringing podcast support to Funkwhale, yes please! I have given support to this feature every time the project asked. I was even thinking about the possibility of crowdfunding if that would help.

Blog post week 2019-30 https://blog.funkwhale.audio/~/Announcements/blog-post-week-2019-30/

So, I've pushed a lot of updates regarding this install script, and it will now:

- allow you to disable installation of Nginx/Postgresql/Redis (if you manage those services yourself)
- stop failing when no locale is configured on the server
- have a better UX overall (wording, confirm by pressing Enter instead of typing yes, etc.)

I've also tested it with success on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 server (in addition to Debian 9 and 10 ;)

Same instructions to try it: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/ansible/merge_requests/1

So, our 38k tracks were processed, and we extracted 461 different tags.

28k tracks were associated with at least one tag, (so we have 10k tracks without any tag remaining).

Hey, if you have a debian or ubuntu server and are willing to help the project and also have a Funkwhale instance, would you mind having a look at https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/ansible/merge_requests/1 ?

It's a single shell script that should give you a fully functional #funkwhale instance within a few minutes.

I've personally tested it on Debian 9 and 10, but the more tests and feedback we get, the more robust and useful it will be!

🇫🇷 J'ai écrit ce ticket pour @funkwhale Est-ce que ça va? Est-ce que j'ai oublié des trucs?
🇬🇧 I wrote this issue for funkwhale. Is it Ok? Did I forget anything?

Ok, will probably build my gallery using #VueJS that way I'll learn a cool framework ( 👀 @gordon ) and increase skills so I can help @funkwhale
