2021-01-18T02:42:27Z	Testing 1..2..3..
2021-01-18T02:46:26Z	[Blog post #<1 https://twtxt.net/search?tag=1>](https://twtxt.net/blog/thewismit/2021/01/18/blog-post-1)
2021-01-18T03:01:07Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<vsniooa https://twtxt.net/search?tag=vsniooa>) hey there. Do you have any plans to support inter-pod follows? I'm thinking about using this as my blogging platform and it would be nice to be able to do that if this really takes off!
2021-01-18T03:02:47Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<vsniooa https://twtxt.net/search?tag=vsniooa>) I'm going to setup my own pod tomorrow and see how the install goes.
2021-01-18T03:05:06Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> @xuu @etux (#<vsniooa https://twtxt.net/search?tag=vsniooa>) nice. I'll have a look through the dev docs tomorrow and learn more. Thanks!
2021-01-18T03:09:54Z	So why is the mobile app called Goryon @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt>?
2021-01-18T03:20:04Z	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<ua6ghra https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ua6ghra>) Why another static site generator? What are you trying to do differently?
2021-01-18T03:24:37Z	@<dooven https://twtxt.net/user/dooven/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<vyyf4fq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=vyyf4fq>) excellent lol!
2021-01-18T19:06:55Z	@<adi https://twtxt.net/user/adi/twtxt.txt> (#<ua6ghra https://twtxt.net/search?tag=ua6ghra>) I found you via twtxt and am considering using it as my blogging/microblogging platform. But then I see what you're doing and I wonder if I should just create templates for micro/macro posts.

I suppose it depends on how much functionality I want.
2021-01-18T23:35:16Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> Heya. Do you have a published docker image and corresponding docker-compose.yml sample config? I see that you mention running docker in the README but I'm not familiar with running it, using the extracted binary file structure.
2021-01-18T23:49:29Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) a bit. I recognize the yaml syntax from my other docker-compose files but I don't run traefik and don't know the first thing about swarms.

Can I rip out the traefik config and bind map a volume to my file system?
2021-01-18T23:57:44Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) would somethingkke this work?

I don't know what the local driver volume is though. Never used that.

2021-01-19T00:00:42Z	(#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) I'd also like to run this on a different port than 8000. I already run yacht on that port.
2021-01-19T00:08:44Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) so bind a host port to container port 8000 and I'm not sure what you mean by base.
2021-01-19T16:29:24Z	(#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> how's this look?

Not sure where to go from here.

2021-01-19T17:24:37Z	@<thewismit https://twtxt.net/user/thewismit/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) I realize that you don't control the availability of dependencies across multiple platforms. So if this means I have to host my blog with your twt.social site, can you please let me know what it would cost me per month? thx.
2021-01-19T22:12:37Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<62rwtjq https://twtxt.net/search?tag=62rwtjq>) there now
2021-01-22T19:03:30Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> so until I can get a successfully hosted pod of my own, can I host one with you? Do you have any pricing plans worked up yet?
2021-01-22T19:13:04Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<7qloy3a https://twtxt.net/search?tag=7qloy3a>) BTW. I bypassed the proxy today with Lyse walking me through a bunch of testing steps , and it seems there's something wrong with either my docker config or potentially the image? Because I'm unable to log in directly at the IP:Pprt either. 

It can't be the image right? You have a lot of pulls that are in use? I also pulled a fresh image just to be sure.
2021-01-22T19:13:34Z	@<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<7qloy3a https://twtxt.net/search?tag=7qloy3a>) anyway it works from a built from source image but that's going to upset my entire docker and backup strategy lol
2021-01-23T00:13:08Z	@<thewismit https://twtxt.net/user/thewismit/twtxt.txt> @<prologic https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt> (#<7qloy3a https://twtxt.net/search?tag=7qloy3a>) I think the light bulb just turned on! Let's see if I can get my pod up now.
