In the latest update of Tranquil the server is writing records very noticeably slower than usual. This bug will be fixed within the week.
Even this post is taking 10 seconds to succeed :P
to let users add stuff like a link to their personal website or similar. we could also just do something tranquil specific that shows a basic view of the profile. adding links to the apps that account uses would make sense there too but again: we want to avoid favouring some apps over others
we have an open issue and internal discussions about exactly something like this!
our biggest sticking point is what exactly we want to show there. we could redirect to that profiles stargraph or similar but we also dont want to favour one specific application. it would probably also make sense
this is a fine if cumbersome option for single user instances but practially impossible for big PDSs we plan to eventually have a migration path for bigger PDSs with a script that will pull out the necessary data from the ref impls databases and put them into tranquil in the right way
details of the pdsmoover method here
bsky.app/profile/did:...
and here
bsky.app/profile/did:...
read those and probably join atproto touchers or the tangled discord so we and bailey can help you out with the details
both configured for the same public connection. you need to be a bit careful with seq numbers to make sure the relay will actually pick up new events after the migration but it is all possible ... if slightly cumbersome
you can! its a bit finicky and i would recommend really looking into the details before you do it. but you can. PDSMoover has an option to override source and target PDS thus allowing you to do a migration from one PDS to the other using seperate local connections for the migration even if theyre
Write your own database from scratch
Finally time to drop the thing I've been working on for weeks: Bluesky without Bluesky – I ran a full stack PDS/Relay/AppServer/Client stack using no bluesky code!
PR number 100! ... and it's a bug fix. We've been getting a lot of good bug fixes now that we have more real world usage. So thanks everyone who has been setting up Tranquil instances and throwing the works at them! It's much appreciated.
there will be stickers, those stickers might be described as tranquil, but there will be no stickers representing Tranquil PDS
There will be a delegate of Tranquil PDS at ATmosphereConf!
By the community. For the community. Forever <3
(not that we dont want to get the package into nixpkgs eventually. but you dont have to wait for that!)
We have seen a few people mention that they want to use tranquil but are waiting for a nixos module or for a nix package. So just to mention somewhere more visible: We have one!! an official one! of both of those. It's all in the tranquil repo, officially sanctioned! available as a flake.
not counting postgres
Right now Tranquil idles at 20MB-60MB of RAM which we think is a little shameful. We gotta pump those numbers down
great to hear!!
We don’t host any open flagship PDS instance at the moment, not sure if we will in future
Hey everyone!
Tranquil PDS Beta!
We're in a spot where people use Tranquil every day.
There may be bugs remaining, but they're hard to find without more users.
The more people we have using Tranquil, the more we can improve it.
Welcome, if you're feeling brave (and have backed up your rotation key)
we will be doing something for that kind of migration yes! its not quite in the works yet but i (nel) have formed some ideas on it. and i was talking with bailey about it and he seemed interested in doing something like it for pdsmoover too (though with a different approach)
app passwords are only scoped if you want them to be! its optional. and the scopes are the exact same as the oauth scopes (thats not properly exposed in the UI currently. but thats what they are)
and we plan to have a lighter build at some point
for tranquil we also decided to do away with the singular admin password and instead have admin accounts. that way multiple people can independently added and revoked as admins without needing to worry about admin password rotations or special client-side admin auth handling
we have an admin page built into the frontend yes! im not sure off the top of my head how featureful it is yet but its there and we're definitely interested in making it as useful as possible!
relevant parties have been contacted and we believe the situation is under control. now we just have to find that password ...
itll show our oauth if youre migrating from one tranquil PDS to another ;3 but yes only in that specific case.
also technically tranquil PDSs can have just about anything as the oauth consent page as the whole frontend is interchangeable
as well as things like didplcbft
did:web as a techie option is fair though in my (nels) opinion though. it has enough footguns that non-techy people probably shouldnt be using it. at least not for their main user accounts. i think the way forward here is to instead improve the state of the trustworthiness PLC through the PLC org
tranquil has support for pds hosted did:web yes. but that comes with the major downside of under mining credible exit since you end up not really being able to fully migrate away from the PDS that owns your did:web.
