flohmarkt
codeberg.org
federated decentral classified ad software using activitypub

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I’d like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

The developers are always open for discussion on their IRC channel: https://web.libera.chat/?nick=GithubGuest%3F#flohmarkt

Please feel free to host a local instance for your city/town and invite friends and family to post. Flohmarkt relies on local relationships and pick-up items only rather than shipping stuff worldwide.

    They’re all in German or something…

    I looked into it on Yunohost and it said some stuff about “CouchDB” that I did not remotely understand.

      @Ulrich @Temperche Sorry if that is phrased in an unclear way.

      #CouchDB is the database used by #flohmarkt and there is other software available for #yunohost that installs CouchDB. CouchDB is not part of the yunohost system and it could lead to problems if two packages mess with the same CouchDB configuration (the sytsem wide Debian package is installed).

      If there is no CouchDB on your system, yet, flohmarkt will just install. If there’s already a CouchDB running, flohmarkt could be integrated, but since I didn’t have any test cases it will not install without forcing it to protect whatever you’re running already with a dependency on CouchDB.

      If you run into issues or have further questions: please open an issue on codeberg (or github) so we can discuss how to make the context more clear or improve the install routine.

        Sorry I didn’t mean to imply it was poorly written, just that I don’t understand it because I’m not very knowledgeable about this kind of stuff.

        it could lead to problems if two packages mess with the same CouchDB configuration (the sytsem wide Debian package is installed).

        What’s the “Debian package”? Yuno runs on Debian so why wouldn’t it be installed?

        If there is no CouchDB on your system

        I don’t know if there is or not?
