Socialhome v0.20.0 released
This release contains some important performance fixes to some background jobs that had previously caused a lot of database load. Additionally, we queue less jobs that don't make sense.
Full changelog:
- Fix missing Http404 imports in Streams API viewsets.
- Fix send_reply_notifications job database query performance issues.
- Stop queuing unnecessary send_reply_notifications jobs for received content that has no local participations.
Installing and updating
We recommend using the Docker images:
- amd64:
registry.gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome:v0.20.0
- arm64:
registry.gitlab.com/jaywink/socialhome:v0.20.0-arm64
Notes on how to use the Docker images can be found in the docs. They're a bit minimal, we're looking on getting better example Docker based install instructions in place soon.
What is Socialhome?
Socialhome is best described as a federated personal profile with social networking functionality. Users can create rich content using Markdown. All content can be pinned to the user profile and all content will federate to contacts in the federated social web. Federation happens using the ActivityPub and Diaspora protocols.
Please check the official site for more information about features. Naturally, the official site is a Socialhome profile itself.
Try Socialhome?
If you want to try Socialhome first before trying to install it, register at https://socialhome.network and then ping us with a comment on the user name chosen, and the account can be activated. You can also request account approval in the chat room. Unfortunately due to spammers accounts on the project instance need to be separately activated.
