How I did was to run the .sh script in atproto.com/guides/self-... and had it install everything I needed
But you can easily read over and run it manually.

Once it had ran, I edited the compose file and removed caddy and added tunnel from this pastebin.com/2iAPgity someone shared in the discord

After finally reading up properly on #atproto and #bluesky, I realised that it’s exactly what I always thought a social network should be. Feeling confident enough to make this my new permanent home after 15 years of Twitter. Hello.

Now how do I set up a PDS…..

I kind of can't believe how easy it was to set up my own Bluesky PDS on a $5/mo Linode.

Just started a dev blog and I thought my first post would be how to set up a #Bluesky PDS.

I run my own Bluesky PDS on a tiny server, using Dokku, an open-source "personal" Heroku clone.

I wrote some notes on how to set this all up, here: davepeck.org/notes/self-h...

Here is the guide on getting the Bluesky PDS software working on a RISC-V system. Not the greatest guide but I hope it's of use to someone. If you try this, tell me how it goes.

The @riscvpdstest.akizuki.best account is hosted on the PDS I set up.

Setting up a PDS on RISC-V This is a RISC-V endeavor, if you know what I mean :) Because the Docker image doesn't support RISC-V, we'll need to do this Docker-less. This guide only covers the PDS it...

Hi, I’m finally getting back to you with my Socisl Coms admin account. I use this account for all the back end coordination. I definitely want to get the PDS set up. I think at this point I will eventually figure it out, but it may take me a few years.
Given the nature of what you're doing I think taking full ownership of the data to avoid censorship would be wise.

You'd need a PDS & website

However, most of the domains relating to Luigi are being squatted right now:

who.is/whois/luigim...

Ideally get a .us (us country code) and .com, .org
luigimangione.us whois lookup - who.is
Find information on any domain name or website. Large database of whois information, DNS, domain names, name servers, IPs, and tools for searching and monitoring domain names.
who.is

Experimental feature for those comfortable with DNS, you can set your domain to be a CNAME of `redirect.bsky.app` and we'll redirect your domain to your bsky profile URL.

Disclaimer: this is an experimental feature and may be removed if we run into problems with it, but hopefully not!

Do we need to run our own AT protocol node to get the full experience?

I keep trying to tell people this. Glad to see more people recognizing it.
In short, the right people are working on this, they're not out to build a Twitter clone, they're out to reshape the web, and help us return to the original promise of an open platform, a sense of ownership, and the ability to share with each other on our own terms.

Anyone know how to set up an AT Protocol Node?
