Hello

I try to display https://misty.casa/display/b64.aHR0cHM6Ly9taXN0eS5jYXNhL2l0ZW0vMDI1ODNiY2MtYzFjNC00NzcwLWI5ZTItN2EwMjUwZDI0Y2My from #Hubzilla, searching it from search bar.
It doesn't work (nothing is displayed).

Any idea?

Dev Branch Heads-Up

Mario Vavti

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 09:33:27 +0000

I will soon merge the perms_ng branch into dev.

In first place your channel and contacts permissions will stay untouched during and after the upgrade. Your channel and contact roles will only take effect after you manually select and submit them.

Some notes:

- We now have 4 predefined channel roles which can be selected from the channel settings: public, personal, community forum (this one might be renamed to group later) and custom.

- The selected channel role after upgrade will be set to custom (which in this case means your current setting does not fit any predefined channel role)

- Select the the channel role that suites your channel best: public is best suited for fediverse interactions, personal comes with the zot privacy enhancements. Choose community forum if you want the channel to act like a forum. Choose custom for special use-cases (in this cases advanced configurations are available from the privacy settings).

- Please review your privacy settings (new menu in /settings) and your profile settings after you changed your channel role.

- You will be asked to assign a contact role to your contacts

- Each channel role comes with one default contact role, you can however define as many custom contact roles as you like/need in the contact roles app

- Contact roles can be assigned to all contacts or to contacts per privacy groups from the contact roles app. To assign a contact role to a specific channel, use the connections app or the edit connection entry from the dropdown menu of a contacts post/comment avatar

- Any contact role can be selected to be the default for new contacts in the contact roles app

- Contacts can now also be edited directly from the contacts profile image dropdown of their posts

- The default privacy group for created content and the default privacy group to add new contacts to, can now be set directly in the privacy groups app

I think that's about it...

Mixed content warning

Mark

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 23:33:17 +0000

Hi folks, my first post on/with hubzilla.

I just installed Hubzilla latest on a Ubuntu server with nginx. I used certbot to upgrade the connection to https and handle the certificates. Worked like a charm. Almost.

I am getting mixed content warnings for two files: manifest.json and hz-32.png

Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction to get rid of that warning? Please note: my nginx.conf skills are low :P

And some more help needed. Just enabled some plugins. One of them TOTP via the admin page.
I cannot do anyting with the settings anymore:

You haven't set a TOTP secret yet. Please click the button below to generate one and register this site with your preferred authenticator app.

The button does not work. It shows me a "password" field, which is insecure. It does not work when I enter any password, nor does it generate a token. Any help disabling this via the cli (or fixing the problem) is appreciated!

Mark

Ok, so I managed to remote totp via util/addons uninstall totp.
First I tried "util/config system.totp 0". Is there a line with that text somewhere in a config file or the db now? If so: how can I remove it?

Hm... In general it is advised to enable SSL before installing Hubzilla...
Please have a look in .htconfig.php -> $a->config['system']['baseurl'] and set it to https if it is not.

Mark

Thu, 18 Nov 2021 09:21:51 +0000

Thank you! I actually did a search through a lot of .php files for this, but I did not know the .htconfig.php file. This fixed it!

And as for the "in general": I agree, but by the time I thought of that (which was when I had to enter my admin pass...) it was to late. I enabled ssl at that time, but got this error.

I followed some other online install guide. I did not find the Hubzilla install documentation very user friendly compared to Mastodon for instance. However, I do see that everything I asked here is actually mentioned there. I just find it harder to find then the "Install this --> do that --> configure this --> done" format of some other software. Guess I should have read the whole thing before install :D

@Mark I am seeing a weird issue with your channel and i think it is related to the fact that you changed from http to https after installation.

The problem as far as i can say at the moment is your hubloc site id which is calculated from the site url and your systems key. I guess since the site url changed the site id can not be verified or something like that...

Still investigating...

Mark

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 09:47:26 +0000

@Mario Vavti ok. Could you be more specific about the "weird issue"? You are able to respond and I can see your channels. So what is not working as it should?

And is there anything I can do to help? (Is there a script I can run to re-generate the ID?)

Mario Vavti

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 13:41:08 +0000

It will be fixed in the next release which is imminent...

@Mario Vavti alright. We'll see how my first upgrade works out. Hoping for a smooth experience :) Thanks!

What does the community need from the experts to make the Hubzilla project a success?

A well thought-out system design can be helpful for a time-saving clarification of the cause of the error

What do the experts need from me to narrow down the problem?

[1] Channel behaving strange with some other channels

To me it looks like the clarification of the cause of the error - and not only for this specific error/ malfunction "Channel behaving strangely with some other channels" [1], but for many other errors - would be much faster and with much less effort if the programmers, the developers and the entire community would take a sober and unbiased look at this thesis

A well thought-out system design can be helpful for a time-saving clarification of the cause of the error.

and, after sober consideration, organise the cooperation in the project accordingly. Personally, I am of the opinion that a major shortcoming of the Hubzilla project and an insurmountable hurdle is that in the event of any disruption, one has to rely on the know-how of experts:

[1]
@mike

This logic was added to most every place I know in the code where we're attempting signature verification. Your experience suggests that at least one place where we're doing verification is lacking this modification.

The trick it seems is finding it.

[1]
I personally think that the Hubzilla project only has a chance to win over more users and developers if from now on further development of new features in the Hubzilla project is frozen and the

developers who are familiar with the design, the architecture of the Hubzilla project document and visualise this know-how in such a way that the hurdles for developers to enter the Hubzilla project are lowered.

So that not only a few Hubzilla experts or @Witcraft, but also other interested, affected people have a chance to get involved in clarifying the cause of this "channel behaving strangely with some other channels" and for other errors.

By the way @Witcraft - a proven method for error handling is the creation of meaningful error reports. In the meantime, is there a bug report for bug [1] in framagit?

hubloc

Hilmar R (u-zapalot)

Wed, 20 Oct 2021 20:02:48 +0000

Question:
Is it healthy that table hubloc has identical rows, where only two fields differ: 1. hubloc_id (of course) and 2. hubloc_guid_sig and the 2nd only by the prefix sha256 (and remainder equals).

select hubloc_addr,COUNT(hubloc_hash) as n from hubloc where hubloc_deleted=0 group by hubloc_hash,hubloc_network having n > 1 order by hubloc_addr;

From the result, one can take some hublog_id values to examine, ie
select * from hubloc where hubloc_id in(4101,4133)\G;

I see - Nomad-Protocol used to be called Zot

Importing channels while cloning might be slightly wonky for some days while i am working on content importers ported from zap.
Checking out commit 3eeb2b0ee483bfb5c845dd4cc5e6a4915526a383 should keep you safe if you mind.

I will post here as soon as the dust settles...

Fix the problem of PhantomID's sustainably

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 10:10:20 +0000

Hi,

@Mario Vavti [1] is a workaround and not a solution because "There is no guarantee that the error will not happen again" [2]. I would like to know what is the reason that it has become necessary to develop the workaround [1]? What is the reason that the data is incomplete? If the community knows the cause of the error, then we can maybe develop together purposeful approaches and solutions. With the PhantomID bug Hubzilla has not lived up to the claim

allows anybody to publicly or privately publish content via "channels", which are the fundamental, cryptographically secured identities that provide authentication independently of the hubs which host them.
