How does it factor in that on #deltachat there are many apps that can be used in a chat without requiring a login or even a privacy policy ... And the apps all work like cryptpad but automatically and without requiring any server side hosting?
Editing documents and checklists and calendars are all safely end-to-end encrypted without a server and anyone can write new #webxdc apps permission free.
@ryanprior @risottobias not everybody is deep into security (e.g. the billions of users of WhatsApp or Telegram). We choose "app" and "app store" terminology because it's what people understand, and have an idea what they can do with it. We have gone through serious security scrutiny and efforts, some hundreds of hours. Dismissing this out-of-hand is your sovereign choice of course.
@risottobias I'm nodding along with all this. Before I'd adopt Delta chat or any similar platform I'd have to understand how it disempowers bad actors and sloppy users.
@risottobias apps and app stores have such a bad security track record that the original post in the thread, touting Delta's many apps, comes off as very cavalier about security. Then you put yourself in the position of having to backpedal, explaining how your apps are different and safe. Maybe true, I still need to read and educate myself; but counterintuitive at minimum!
if you like to know about all the gory details of how we isolate apps from getting at any side channels, see this discussion which also includes a security audit by Cure53 delta.chat/en/2023-05-22-webxd…
And yes, it's maybe not perfect, but it's not just yet another web view that has arbitrary access. Also, even if an app manages to break isolation, it has no access to the social graph at all. See webxdc.org/docs/spec/selfAddr_… for what is exposed to apps from the messenger side.
Delta Chat’s “web apps shared in a chat” come with a unique privacy promise but in January it was shown to be compromised. We got into a surprising struggle with Web browser sandboxing issues that ...
@risottobias thank you, I will be reading these links. It seems like you strongly believe in your mitigations here, and if that's the case, I would brag about this relentlessly and mention it every time you mention availability of apps.

Here's an Acorn Atom, released in 1980. I haven't ever used this computer myself. But neither have I used an Apple III, which is, as far as I know, the other well-known computer that came out that year... well-known for being a dud. The photo is from Wikipedia.
As I'm visually impaired, I'd appreciate a more detailed description of this image. #ALTforMe
@matt Description: well, have you ever seen/touched a BBC Model B computer? The Atom is its predecessor. Case is the same flat box with slope around the keyboard, but white plastic with grooves running front-to-back behind the keyboard. Keyboard is the same layout but no red keycaps or function keys. Logo says ACORN ATOM instead of BBC Model B. Looks to be the same size.
Hi there, working on moving old friendica sites from a shared hosting to a VPS, I ran into the following problem I can't find a solution for. This actually happens with one 2021.04 instance but not with another (anymore), so I'm crosschecking all the settings but can't find how to solve this. Both sites were installed as 2012.04 from the start:

This is Friendica, version 2021.04 that is running at the web location sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomaincom. The database version is 1413/1413, the post update version is 1400/1400.

As visible in the screen, the site also displays the following path on top of the page, and of course calls that URL: sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomaincom
Different intents to fix this by changing or deleting the following settings from the console didn't work out:
Even more astonishing, sending the following setting with the console: /bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com .. the site is displayed and works as it should be for a few minutes, and than falls back into the wrong behavior, like if the worker changes something when ever the cron kicks in. In that time span I can log in and even go thru the admin settings but this setting is not available.
Intents to modify the following specifications in local.config.php didn't work out either:
At least I figured out/ realized that url. and system. actually shouldn't be used at all as:
'config' => [
],
'system' => [
],
.. are actually "in charge" of defining that. So now I'm not sure either if those wrong lines somehow made it from local.config.php into the DB and are now part of the problem.
and it actually looks like this is exactly te problem but I have no experience at all with mysql over CLI SSH and don't know what commands to use to delete the apparently wrong setting in the DB.
Is there a way to delete entries with bin/console? I did manage to change some settings from there but couldn't find any hint how to "delete" an entry entirely from there:
@utopiArte The last command looks correct, although this kind of low-level config value should be set in the config file, not with the console that only interacts with the database config.
Trying to document changes and results in kind a step by step answers. The following setting leaves the site with a blank page and results in bin/console config printing the error message: [Error] Missing database structure config file static/dbstructure.config.php
Site doesn't work, resulting in the screen as shown in the inicial post. Setting the URL as described: /var/www/inversioncom/bin/console config system url https://inversion.tupambae.com .. the site works for a few minutes.
Site doesn't work, resulting in the screen as shown in the inicial post. Setting the URL as described: /var/www/inversioncom/bin/console config system url https://inversion.tupambae.com .. the site works for a few minutes.

On a first glimps, I haven't found any mention of the path terms. In any case I will wonder about the meaning of: "the meaning of the relevant config keys". Like to say, if I can find "relevant config keys" ..
@utopiArte Sorry, I was on mobile and couldn’t check but these keys should have been mentioned in this file, along their purpose.
system.basepath is the absolute file path where Friendica is installed, e.g. /var/www/subdomaincom in your case.
system.urlpath should only be used if Friendica is installed in a subfolder of the domain you’re using, and is relative to that domain. It doesn't seem to be relevant to you, so it should be blank.
system.url is the absolute URL where your Friendica node is accessible. It should consist in the protocol, the domain and the urlpath together. In your case it should be https://sub.domain.com/
system.php_path should be the absolue path to the PHP CLI executable. It should not point to PHP-FPM, which is used to process web requests.
Changed this setting in the local.config.php to phpX.y. The sites are working like before.
I decided to copy/paste identically local.config.php of the site that does work to the one that doesn't, only changing the specific detail of DB and folder structure, and also made sure that the .conf files are alike. Still having the same problem.
Compared the print of: /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config in the few minutes it is working correctly after sending: /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com and when it doesn't work but the prints are identically.
The print right now for both sites show the following quite at the bottom of the print:
The only difference between the two sites in the print is the following line quite at the top: config.system.basepath => / This line doesn't exist in the site that is working and I can't find a way to skip it or delete the /. Meld (the diff program) shows a dot in front of the the slash ./, the simple text editor Kate doesn't.
Meld actually also shows the [enter] signs in the same way, a little bit less colored, in lines that have them, like it shows the dot. 🤷♂️

As of now local.config.php does define system.urlpath, but as the site that works uses the line I left it for now.
hypolite wrote:

system.url is actually not set as https://sub.domain.com/ but as sub.domain.com
What do you mean by "works for a few minutes"? How many pages correctly show in the mean time? What happens when the few minutes have elapsed?
The site works correctly for several minutes. I can log in. All pages show correctly, including admin pages. Once it falls back to redirecting to: sub.domain.com/var/www/subdomain/ .. I have to execute again: /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com .. the console prints (as always): system.url <= https://inversion.tupambae.com and I can use the site again for several minutes before it falls back to the wrong behavior.
After a break I started to check out everything again and did several tests. I changed the order of the lines in local.config.php and managed to get the exact same lines and order in the bin/console prints of both sites. The problem stayed. Than I checked example_local.config.php to compare and found that actually any of the lines figure there, so I deleted them all together. Right now local.config.php looks like this:
The site still behaves the same way. At first it loads correctly, and quite fast, after some minutes it starts taking lot's of time and ends up like in the screen of the initial post.
Now the bin/console config print shows only the following two specific lines related to the whole path issue, all the other references mentioned above are gone. I have no idea how to delete the remaining references. Those lines have to figure somewhere in the DB I guess, but again, no idea what lines to execute to display them or delete them: config.system.basepath => / system.basepath => /var/www/subdomain
@utopiArte Once you set a config value using the console, changing the value in the config file won't help as the console stores the value in the DB and it has precedence over the files.
No matter how you did it, the important part is that system.basepath must be set to the install folder, and system.url must be set to the full URL. You can verify what the current value used by Friendica for either config keys is using the console.
I've browsed https://inversion.tupambae.com and when the style is missing, the first line shows inversion.tupambae.com/var/www/inversioncom even though it should show https://inversion.tupambae.com. This is governed by the system.url config key.
To me it "feels" that /var/www/subdomaincom is added by some mecanism to sub.domain.com. In particular because when setting specifically with the console command /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url -> https://sub.domain.com it works for some minutes.
As last intent I tried to use the following commands to reset the two mentioned settings but the behaviour ist still the same: /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domaincom /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system basepath /var/www/subdomaincom/
No I can't. There is no change at all in the results of the bin/console config output (print). Actually even the settings send and "officially" accepted by the system do not show up in the print.
Latest thing I tried, totally feed up, was to send the commands several times and also making sure they end with a slash.
So I send: /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com/ system.url <= inversion.tupambae.com/ /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system basepath /var/www/subdomaincom/ system.basepath <= /var/www/inversioncom/ /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system url https://sub.domain.com/ system.url <= inversion.tupambae.com/ /var/www/subdomaincom/bin/console config system basepath /var/www/subdomaincom/ system.basepath <= /var/www/inversioncom/
And right now it looks like it sticked, for now the site remains operative! 🙄
(please have in mind that this is 2021.04, if it weren't so outdated I'd say we need to figure out the problem because this feels like a real problem under the hood)
@utopiArte Oh I forgot this was such an old version. There still is an issue with the pictures because /var/www/subdomain/ gets prepended in the URL. Do you mind running bin/console config system and send the output to hypolite@mrpetovan.com ?
@utopiArte There's no file named boot.php at the root of the Friendica install, not sure where it's coming from.
The CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEOUTED constant is defined by the PHP curl extension, please verify it is enabled in the CLI version of php with php -i | grep curl.
For what it's worth, I found friendica to be unfriendly to non-root URLs, that is to say URLs that aren't at /, so I setup a subdomain specifically for friendica, friendica.eskimo.com/. You may wish to give that a try. The machine domain does not need to be this, you can do it by configuring DNS to point to the base IP of the machine and then configuring a subdomain in Apache or Nginx as a virtual host.
Also, this is a btop from an 18 core machine with 256GB of RAM with the major load being friendica, a secondary load is hubzilla, mastodon, and miskey, but friendica represents more load than the latter three combined, but it also gets more traffic than the latter three combined. But what I am getting at here, you may want to consider dedicating a physical server. I'll grant you it's busier than usual as we've just returned the server to service after three months of downtime, 7 motherbords, three power supplies, and two CPU's later.
