Meet #Starling, a lightweight #ActivityPub server for the #Fediverse, built with PHP and SQLite.Run your own decentralized social platform on shared hosting or a tiny VPS WITHOUT Redis, PostgreSQL, or complex infrastructure.What it makes so special to me? It looks awesome, comes with a great admin web interface and does not require a VPS instance where it can also be operated on a cheap shared hosting systems. By the given requirements, it also easily runs on a #RaspberryPI and all kind of systems, including #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #Illumos and more!This all makes it perfect to everyone and even beginners to run their own instance. With relay support (e.g., fedi-relay.gyptazy.com) it even can consume and post content over non-directly connected instances in the #fediworld!Kudos to the author of Starling: @df@s.dfaria.euMore information:GitHub project: https://github.com/dfaria-eu/StarlingMy blog post: https://gyptazy.com/blog/starling-simple-fediverse-server/#fedi #fediwall #opensource #decentralized #social #socialmedia #alternatives #mastodon

This is a test from my new Starling instance on FreeBSD. It seems quite good and MastoBlaster is working here, too.For more information:https://github.com/dfaria-eu/Starlinghttps://mastoblaster.app#MastoBlaster #Starling

@df I love this idea and the software. I'm a great supporter of #snac exactly for the same reason. You don't need beefy hardware to have your own Fediverse home.Starling is a nice because it can be used without setting up a proper server - just a php installation and a domain.I'll keep this testing instance on and continue to test it with MastoBlaster.

#Starling is a lightweight #PHP #fediverse server you can install by just copying files over FTP to a shared host. No PostgreSQL, no workers, no DevOps. Owning your data with #ActivityPub can be much simpler than with #ATProtocol. Have you tried it? https://github.com/dfaria-eu/Starling
