Is there a facility to report posts/accounts that violate rules? I can't find any option to do this on a post or an account. I looked in the official Wiki and found no clues either.

I do not have that option. Screen shot below shows what I see for your post. If I try other random posts, I do get the top part...Add tag, etc. But never and ignore ... server or Report Post option at the bottom

I checked your instance and it's running Friendica 2023.05. Moderation was added in latest release.

Interesting. I'm surprised moderation is new.
We did try to install 2023.12 from new but after repeated failures we gave up. We then used Yunohost, which I would have preferred not to. Its latest install build is 2023.05. i m not sure if we can now do an upgrade outwith the Yunohost environment

@David - Forking Mad I'm running an instance here on develop branch. Do you still have the error messages from 2023.12 release? If you like you can share them here people here can look over it. And did you run the all-famous ./bin/composer.phar install --no-dev command? Or do you have a bundle with fully populated vendor directory? I'm just guessing here at that maybe that directory isn't populated.

It might be worth us giving a new install an attempt again. I'd rather not be on Yunohost for this version reason. We got to a point where visiting the website wanted to go to the install folder but there was no folder or redirect working.

@David - Forking Mad Ah, that might (remote, distant diagnose is always a bad idea) mean, that mod_rewrite isn't active? I might have to try it myself here. And 2024.03 is on it's way.

Hi @Roland Häder, I did check that mod_rewrite was active and that .htaccess was a copy of the sample.

If I reinstall, using the same domain name, will this screw up anything on the fediverse as I assume the new install will have a new key/ID.
Happy to drop all the user data as we're only testing at the moment

@David - Forking Mad Yes, a new install always comes with new cryptographic keys. But of course you an upgrade an existing installation. But make backup of both files and database.

@Roland Häder I'm not sure I can upgrade as the current was built using a Yunohost build, and they are on 2023.05. I doubt it allows the standard upgrade feature.

So I think I have two options:

Install a new 2023.05 (using the git repository) and restore my database. And then upgrade to 2023.12.
OR
install a brand new 2023.12 and NOT restore my data as I would assume the DB has a slightly different structure.

@David - Forking Mad Then I would go with first option. The 2nd one will require you to give up your domain (you need an other host name). Or some tricky copy-paste of the keys but that might not work. So best is to backup your 2023.05 database, uninstall yunohost, install 2023.12 including updated addons, restore database dump and run the usual update steps.

From my script at https://f.haeder.net/deploy.sh these are the database upgrade steps to run:

echo "$0: db update ..."
./bin/console dbstructure update || exit 255
echo "$0: post-update ..."
./bin/console postupdate || exit 255
echo "$0: db drop ..."
./bin/console dbstructure drop -e || exit 255

You might consider to create a subdomain and a new friendica instalation.
That way you can leave the old one as is and use it and start with the new one from scratch.

@utopiArte @David - Forking Mad Yes, that is always an option. The downside here is that a sub-domain is now in front of your domain. But if that's fine with you, no objection. 😀

I did think of that @utopiArte but i'd like to use the main domain ultimately. I might do a sub-domain test as I really struggled to get 2023.12 installed. If I can get it up on the sub I will have figured out the issues and can install on the top domain

@David - Forking Mad @utopiArte Try beta.talkbox.social with closed registration where you can try newer versions out before installing them on your main domain.

I guess you already have all the info you need at hand, this is an install instruction for VPS in progress (lot's of spoilers).

EDIT | don't follow!

Ver. 05 | install and/or move friendica to ubuntu 22.04 LTS VPS server

SPOILER - click to open/close || IntroductionThis tutorial is an adaption of the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️ based on the experience of the installation report by @…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ jesuisatire bitPickup:
https://squeet.me/display/962c3e10-5765-2e86-4a15-589579746174
and specific help by @Raroun.

Server specs and friendica version used:
VPS server | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
PHP Version 8.1.2-1ubuntu2.14
4 Core CPU, 8 GB Ram with 300GB NVME Disk
Friendica [STABLE] | 'Giant Rhubarb' 2023.05 - 1518

SPOILER - click to open/close || Installation environment and HowToThe only reasonable way to work with a VPSserver on the web is using the console.
If you are not familiar with that don't worry, it is easy and the only thing you have to do is being able to copy/paste the commands displayed:
¡Copy/paste only the codeBoxes like this one, located outside of the spoilers of this tutorial one after another without altering the sequence!
Of course it is necessary to change the specific file names and passwords for you indiviual site, but that's all. promise!
On the console you wont be able to copy/paste with the keyboard ctrl-C/ctrl-V technique, you'll have to use the mouse "right click, chose option" technique.
This tutorial was created on a #debian #linux desktop environment.
There shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
The method used for communication between your local computer and the VPS server is called #SSH:
Wikipedia - Secure Shell:
"Cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers."

I know you are all sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for an update on my move/upgrade. 😆

I can report that it appears to have been a success. I built a brand new 2023.12, which I managed to get fully installed. I then cleared the DB and recovered my DB from 2023.05 and ran the DB update scripts mentioned by @Roland Häder

I'm up, and live, on 2023.12. I really appreciate everyone's help on this.

My Worker queue is very busy. 999 apparently. Full of "Add Contact" commands. I will just leave it to run.🤷‍♂️

I did setup a cron job for worker.php. I do however notice when I look at the running processes that worker.php has a --no_cron at the end, is that normal?
