gotosocial

This package will give you a stock gotosocial server running on http://localhost:8080 with sqlite; it's up to you to configure your actual domain name and set up letsencrypt once you have confirmed it's up an running in HTTP. You can use a reverse proxy in front of it like nginx or caddy, or you can turn on letsencrypt and do it all from one process, which is much simpler but doesn't let that machine serve multiple domains.

It package is very much not debian-compliant, because upstream vendors an enormous number of libraries, and packaging all those into separate debs would be a tremendous amount of work. Hopefully some day it will happen, but it will need to be done by someone who actually knows golang, probably not me! In the mean time, that's why unofficial repos exist.

Packaging scripts are available on the debian/latest branch of https://git.sr.ht/~technomancy/gotosocial/.
