   Mitra being packaged as a .deb is a massive game-changer when it comes to deploying Fediverse instance software. It's so nice and easy to just spin up a database, install the .deb, connect the two via config and then setup Nginx and voila: being fully online and working and ready to go! (Instead of like 20 different moving parts all contingent on one another with various update schedules and bla bla bla 1 thing borks and the whole instance goes to hell.)

   It's been so so so so nice to install and get working + it's very fast and lightweight and easy to manage/maintain. I think it's now my absolute favorite Fediverse software! I want to give a massive thanks to @silverpill for making and maintaining this phenomenal software!

     @adiz @mischievoustomato I'm glad you're enjoying it.
     I wish it was even easier to install, but most low-hanging fruits has already been picked. SSL support is on the roadmap, that would make HTTP server redundant. But postgres is here to stay until someone finds a good way to run it in embedded mode (issue). SQLite is good for small projects, but in my opinion, still not suitable for software as complex as social media server.

     @mischievoustomato I'm sure. But, just nothing like a nice comfy .deb. Running Mitra on Debian with a dedicated .deb just makes it so fast and nice and easy. I wish more software shipped this way. @silverpill

     @adiz @silverpill compiling it from source is very easy too, literally juse dl the release zip, unpack, cd to the source folder, run the cargo command, and copy the 2 mitra executables from target/result to /opt/mitra and restart
