So we don't usually make version update posts but this is a bit of a special one. We just released v0.6.7 which in and of itself isn't immensely interesting, it's a very bug fix heavy release just like v0.6.6. A lot of those bug fixes should fix compatibility with some apps namely Colibri. But ...

Okay now I'm (nel) tired of waiting for them to make their way through the nixos pipeline. Tranquil is officially in nixpkgs now! with a package for the backend and frontend and a module all based on the in-repo versions. v0.6.4 should hit nixos-unstable soon and v0.6.5 shouldnt be long after that

Hiya Tranquil PDS hosters! Small breaking change on email config for 0.6.0. We no longer shell out to sendmail, we have the email config inline. It will hopefully be straightforward to move whatever sendmail config you had to tangled.org/tranquil.far....

We don't want to make our own discord server, but we want to be better at fostering a community. So while we wait for an amazing roomy.space experience, we're a "guest channel" in the tangled discord server! discord.gg/NVXVKVNdCj

In the latest update of Tranquil the server is writing records very noticeably slower than usual. This bug will be fixed within the week. Even this post is taking 10 seconds to succeed :P

Finally time to drop the thing I've been working on for weeks: Bluesky without Bluesky – I ran a full stack PDS/Relay/AppServer/Client stack using no bluesky code!

Bluesky... without Bluesky

What if we could use Bluesky without touching any Bluesky servers? What about if we avoided touching their code, entirely?

PR number 100! ... and it's a bug fix. We've been getting a lot of good bug fixes now that we have more real world usage. So thanks everyone who has been setting up Tranquil instances and throwing the works at them! It's much appreciated.

We have seen a few people mention that they want to use tranquil but are waiting for a nixos module or for a nix package. So just to mention somewhere more visible: We have one!! an official one! of both of those. It's all in the tranquil repo, officially sanctioned! available as a flake.

Right now Tranquil idles at 20MB-60MB of RAM which we think is a little shameful. We gotta pump those numbers down

Hey everyone! Tranquil PDS Beta! We're in a spot where people use Tranquil every day. There may be bugs remaining, but they're hard to find without more users. The more people we have using Tranquil, the more we can improve it. Welcome, if you're feeling brave (and have backed up your rotation key)

pushed a tiny fix for tranquil pds on debug.hose.cam the debugger now shows `version` from the pds `describeServer` if present, falling back on the `_health` endpoint (for bsky pds impl) and no longer failing if the response at _health is not a JSON object

Tranquil aims to be a PDS done "the right way". Yes it's a hobby project for us but it's also a project born out of a wish that we all had better options with more features. As the readme alludes to we want to be able to scale up to multiple node deployments but that doesnt mean we dont want to

What features would you like to see in Tranquil that don’t exist in the ref implementation? We can do it all if you just ask nicely in an issue on our tangled repo

This account’s did:web is hosted by the PDS itself. This is an optional feature of Tranquil PDS! Even if a PDS-hosted did:web user decides to migrate off this instance, a minimal did-doc will be served and available to edit no matter where the user goes. Pros and cons in replies…

We aim to be fully production-ready around March. Until then, no guarantee of stability. This serves as a warning to anyone using Tranquil PDS before we announce that it’s stable! There is a risk of total account bork. …at the same time we would love testers to find more bugs and quirks :P

just saying this out loud: we are not a company, we don’t want to make money, we’re not going to create some “hosted SaaS version” of tranquil that we try to force down your throat. we are just a bunch of nerds doing this for fun. this thing will always be open and free and transparent! :3

This account itself highlights one of the benefits of tranquil: it is "delegated". It's a shared organization account and doesn't need any password of its own. Lewis and Nel able to "act as" this account through OAuth, and we can continue to add whoever else we want to control it.

Hard to have a serious org account when there's no logo. Time to just make black/white profile pic to tide us over.
