That’s just for HappyView. One can take inbound requests for whatever paths. And Tailscale or wireguard or various other methods could get this together. A small reliably hosted server with a public IP that can issue subdomains is likely the minimum infra.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Wearing an orange shirt is the chosen symbol on this day, in honour of Phyllis Webstad, who was only six years old in 1973 when she was put in a residential school in British Columbia and stripped of her brand new orange shirt. #TRC

Still enjoying Web Tiles! Another demo, this time for Wishes. Two Web Tiles (a cube + a color palette) talking with each other, each on its own PDS repo. It also includes a host relaying between the tiles for a new data in/out piece.

Yep. We still run Cloudron for ops at @coop.pds.cosocial.ca but most places I’m moving to Proxmox with Ansible runbooks. But yeah. It’s the same pattern! Our goal is going to be long form + group chat + agent search for groups, store in atproto permissioned data. Serve communities.

Boris @bmann.ca · 28/09/2026
Oh yeah you’re using Cloudron and LiteLLM. We wrapped LiteLLM because its enterprise model restricts us. We’ll swap it out for something fully open source at some point. OpenWebUI is our placeholder but that’s another that’s … not great. We should definitely dive deeper.

We’re building a software stack for managing physical installs + bundled apps. V similar to what y’all are doing? Accounts are atproto. Should be able to share via co/core to network multiple community installs - access idle inference across. I’ll look at your docs & code.

So much of this is one off explorations. We have so much to learn. No promises & just starting , but @pouriade.com and @hadsie.com are tinkering with a single user chat backed by atproto’s public / permissioned data OpenWebUI is a prototyping tool & we haven’t found anything worth extending

Boris @bmann.ca · 27/09/2026
Oh yeah I got it working, it’s keeping things in sync between a couple of different interfaces. That server is innocent was just a funny line. And I’m very much going off the beaten path / self hosted remote. Got chat inside of Obsidian working, which is nice!

Adversarial interop and open source can emerge during the early stages of disruption for this reason. You don’t have time to lock down and extract every little thing when there’s a huge greenfield in front of you. Moving fast has higher upside, even if you cede vast tracts of territory.
