This is something Ive (Nel) seen as the one possible benefit of this becoming an official thing within spec ever since I first came up with the idea. It would be incredibly useful for the UX of using these accounts. Currently afaik its not exposed anywhere in our impl but I think we should do that!

Con: even after migration your original pds technically has full control of your account and could theoretically take control of your account whenever it wants to. effectively undercutting credible exit

Pro: self hosters get one single software stack to fully manage their account on atproto

Pro: easy did:web without having own one’s own web domain and serve a doc there

Con: if a PDS goes down, there goes the user’s identity, even if they’ve migrated away already

did someone say PDS with passkey support? 👀

seconded i *really* love that what. i love the moon so damn much. the sea of tranquillity is an amazing idea

ya go ahead

YO was also thinking something moon-related, maybe this is fate

if you have the perseverance and nix(os) experience i dont think itd be too hard to get working and honestly your frontend changes could probably just be part of the nixos config. especially since you can change the directory thats served as the frontend using the FRONTEND_DIR envvar

in terms of nixos the tranquil repo flake includes a probably just about functional derivation for tranquil itself but not for the frontend yet and it does not have a nixos module either. i (nel) will be making a nixos module and functional derivations before release but for now here be dragons

and valkey (or other redis compatible key-val store).

tranquil is intentionally designed to be very flexible in its frontend so it should be easy to change out by putting your own stuff in the right directory. particularly if you just want to change the homepage thats just a static html file

feels fitting to respond to this from this account ;3

tranquil has a decent few runtime dependencies right now (though the plan is to cut this down drastically for smaller deployments in the future!). beyond tranquil itself you need an instance of postgres, minio (or other s3 compatible obj store)

ya. or do you want us to make something nicer? kinda goes against the spirit of migration but could be fun as a script

why?!
