+    Here's version {{ .Version }} of GoToSocial.
+    
+    Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.
+    
+    ## Release highlights
+    
+    - Pee pee
+    - Poo poo
+    - Wee wee
+    
+    ## Migration notes
+    
+    ### Upgrading
+    
+    To upgrade to {{ .Tag }} from a previous release:
+    
+    #### Binary/tar
+    
+    1. Stop GoToSocial.
+    2. **Back up your database!** If you're running on SQLite, this is as simple as copying your `sqlite.db` file, eg., `cp sqlite.db sqlite.db.backup`. On Postgres you can do this with [pg_dump](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup-dump.html).
+    3. Download and untar the new release, **including the web assets and html templates**, not just the binary.
+    4. Edit your config.yaml file if necessary (see below).
+    5. Start GoToSocial.
+    6. Wait patiently for any migrations to run, **do not interrupt migrations or you could leave your db in a broken state and will have to restore from backup**!
+    7. Enjoy your updated instance.
+    
+    #### Docker
+    
+    1. Stop GoToSocial.
+    2. **Back up your database!** If you're running on SQLite, this is as simple as copying your `sqlite.db` file, eg., `cp sqlite.db sqlite.db.backup`. On Postgres you can do this with [pg_dump](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup-dump.html).
+    3. Pull the new docker container with `docker pull docker.io/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:{{ .Version }}` or `docker pull docker.io/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial:latest` if this is a stable release and not a release candidate.
+    4. Edit your config.yaml file or environment variables if necessary (see below).
+    5. Start GoToSocial.
+    6. Wait patiently for any migrations to run, **do not interrupt migrations or you could leave your db in a broken state and will have to restore from backup**!
+    7. Enjoy your updated instance.
+    
+    ### config.yaml
+    
+    The configuration file has changed since the previous release.
+    
+    - Changed `pee pee` to `poo poo`.
+    - Changed `wee wee` to `more wee wee`.
+    
+    You can see a diff of the config file here: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/compare/{{ .PreviousTag }}...{{ .Tag }}#diff-c071e03510b2c57e193a44503fd9528a785f0f411497cc75841a9f8d0b1ac622
+    
+    ### Database Migrations
+    
+    ⚠️⚠️⚠️
+    
+    This release may contain database migrations which will run the first time you start up this new version.
+    
+    Be sure not to interrupt this migration process.
+    
+    This will take anywhere between a couple seconds and ten minutes or more (on slower hardware).
+    
+    **Please be patient!**
+    
+    ⚠️⚠️⚠️
+    
+    ### Which release archive/container should I use?
+    
+    GoToSocial releases binary builds for 64-bit Linux, FreeBSD, and NetBSD operating systems. We also release Docker builds for 64-bit Linux.
+
+    | OS      | Architecture            | Support level                      | Binary archive                                                                                                                                                       | Docker                                                     |

+    
+    #### `nowasm`
+    
+    For your convenience, we also provide **UNSUPPORTED, EXPERIMENTAL BUILDS**, created using the `nowasm` tag, in the downloads list below. There is no Docker build for `nowasm`.
+    
+    GoToSocial releases built with `nowasm` use the Go-native, modernc version of SQLite instead of the WASM one, and will use *on-system ffmpeg and ffprobe binaries* for media processing.
+    
+    Using a `nowasm` build is currently the only way to run GoToSocial on a 32-bit system.
+    
+    For more information on running a `nowasm` build, see the [nowasm](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/builds/nowasm/) documentation page.

 ## Development
 
 ### Golang forking quirks
 
-One of the quirks of Golang is that it relies on the source management path being the same as the one used within `go.mod` and in package imports within individual Go files. This makes working with forks a bit awkward.
+One of the quirks of Golang is that it relies on the source management path being the same as the one used within `go.mod` and in package imports within individual Go files. This makes working with forks a bit awkward. The solution to this is to fork, then clone the upstream repository, then set `origin` of the upstream repository to that of your fork.
-
-Let's say you fork GoToSocial to `github.com/yourgithubname/gotosocial`, and then clone that repository to `~/go/src/github.com/yourgithubname/gotosocial`. You will probably run into errors trying to run tests or build, so you might change your `go.mod` file so that the module is called `github.com/yourgithubname/gotosocial` instead of `github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial`. But then this breaks all the imports within the project. Nightmare! So now you have to go through the source files and painstakingly replace `github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial` with `github.com/yourgithubname/gotosocial`. This works OK, but when you decide to make a pull request against the original repo, all the changed paths are included! Argh!

 - The testrig does not make any actual external HTTP calls, so federation will not work from a testrig.
 
+##### Configuring the Standalone Testrig
+
+By default the standalone testrig uses an in-memory SQLite database, which is filled with test data when starting up, and is cleared when shutting down, but you can tweak this (and a few other settings) with environment variables:
+
+- `GTS_LOG_LEVEL` - you can set this to `trace` if you want to see all DB queries.
+- `GTS_TESTRIG_SKIP_DB_SETUP` - set this to any value to skip the creation of tables and population of test data when the testrig starts.
+- `GTS_TESTRIG_SKIP_DB_TEARDOWN` - set this to any value to skip the deletion of tables and test data when the testrig stops.
+- `GTS_STORAGE_BACKEND` - this uses in-memory storage by default, but you can set this to `s3` to use a locally-running Minio etc for testing.
+- `GTS_DB_TYPE` - you can change this to `postgres` to test against a locally-running Postgres intance.
+- `GTS_DB_ADDRESS` - this is set to `:memory:` by default. You can change this to use an sqlite.db file somewhere, or set it to a Postgres address.
+- `GTS_DB_PORT`, `GTS_DB_USER`, `GTS_DB_PASSWORD`, `GTS_DB_DATABASE`, `GTS_DB_TLS_MODE`, `GTS_DB_TLS_CA_CERT` - you can set these if you change `GTS_DB_ADDRESS` to `postgres` and don't use `GTS_DB_POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING`.
+- `GTS_DB_POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING` - use this to provide a Postgres connection string if you don't want to set all the db env variables mentioned in the previous point.
+
+Using these variables you can also (albeit awkwardly) test migrations from one schema to another.
+
+For example, to test SQLite migrations:
+
+1. Switch to main branch.
+2. Build the debug binary, and then start the testrig with `DEBUG=1 GTS_LOG_LEVEL=trace GTS_DB_ADDRESS=./sqlite.test.db GTS_TESTRIG_SKIP_DB_TEARDOWN=1 ./gotosocial testrig start`. This instructs the testrig to use trace logging, use an actual file for the SQLite db, and to skip tearing it down when finished.
+3. Stop the testrig.
+4. The file `sqlite.test.db` now contains the schema and test models from the main branch.
+5. Switch to the branch with the migration you want to test.
+6. Build the debug binary, and then start the testrig with `DEBUG=1 GTS_LOG_LEVEL=trace GTS_DB_ADDRESS=./sqlite.test.db GTS_TESTRIG_SKIP_DB_SETUP=1 ./gotosocial testrig start`. This instructs the testrig to use trace logging, and to use the already-populated sqlite.test.db file.
+7. You should see logging for migrations.

+
+Various bits and bobs.
+
+### Running migrations on a Postgres DB backup locally
+
+It may be useful when testing or debugging migrations to be able to run them against a copy of a real instance's Postgres database locally.
+
+Basic steps for this:
+
+First dump the Postgres database on the remote machine, and copy the dump over to your development machine.
+
+Now create a local Postgres container and mount the dump into it with, for example:
 
 ```bash
-drone -t PUT_YOUR_DRONE_ADMIN_TOKEN_HERE -s https://drone.superseriousbusiness.org sign superseriousbusiness/gotosocial --save
+docker run -it --name postgres --network host -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres -v /path/to/db_dump:/db_dump postgres
 ```
 
-### Release Checklist
+In a separate terminal window, execute a command inside the running container to load the dump into the "postgres" database:
 
-First things first: If this is a security hot-fix, we'll probably rush through this list, and make a prettier release a few days later.
+```bash
+docker exec -it --user postgres postgres psql -X -f /db_dump postgres
+```
 
-Now, with that out of the way, here's our Checklist.
+With the Postgres container still running, run GoToSocial and point it towards the container. Use the appropriate `GTS_HOST` (and `GTS_ACCOUNT_DOMAIN`) values for the instance you dumped:
+  
+  ```bash
+  GTS_HOST=example.org \
+  GTS_DB_TYPE=postgres \
+  GTS_DB_POSTGRES_CONNECTION_STRING=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/postgres \
+  ./gotosocial migrations run
+  ```
 
-GoToSocial follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
+When you're done messing around, don't forget to remove any containers that you started up, and remove any lingering volumes with `docker volume prune`, else you might end up filling your disk with unused temporary volumes.
-So our first concern on the Checklist is:
-
-- What version are we releasing?
-
-Next we need to check:
-
-- Do the assets have to be rebuilt and committed to the repository.
-- Do the swagger docs have to be rebuilt?
-
-On the project management side:
-
-- Are there any issues that have to be moved to a different milestone?
-- Are there any things on the [Roadmap](./ROADMAP.md) that can be ticked off?
-
-Once we're happy with our Checklist, we can create the tag, and push it.
-And the rest [is automation](./.drone.yml).
-
-We can now head to GitHub, and add some personality to the release notes.
-Finally, we make announcements on the all our channels that the release is out!
-
-#### What if something goes wrong?
-
-Sometimes things go awry.
-We release a buggy release, we forgot something ­ something important.
-
-If the release is so bad that it's unusable ­ or dangerous! ­ to a great part of our user-base, we can pull.
-That is: Delete the tag.
-
-Either way, once we've resolved the issue, we just start from the top of this list again. Version numbers are cheap. It's cheap to burn them.

 ## What is GoToSocial?
 
 GoToSocial provides a lightweight, customizable, and safety-focused entryway into the [Fediverse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse), and is comparable to (but distinct from) existing projects such as [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org/), [Pleroma](https://pleroma.social/), [Friendica](https://friendi.ca), and [PixelFed](https://pixelfed.org/).
 
 If you've ever used something like Twitter or Tumblr (or even Myspace!) GoToSocial will probably feel familiar to you: You can follow people and have followers, you make posts which people can favourite and reply to and share, and you scroll through posts from people you follow using a timeline. You can write long posts or short posts, or just post images, it's up to you. You can also, of course, block people or otherwise limit interactions that you don't want by posting just to your friends.

-Plenty of [config options](./example/config.yaml) for admins to play around with, including:
+### Local-only posting
 
-- Easily adjustable post length.
+Sometimes you only want to talk to people you share an instance with. GoToSocial supports this via local-only posting, which ensures that your post stays on your instance only, even if it gets boosted. They also do not show up in the web interface, and are not accessible publicly via URL. (Local-only posting is currently dependent on client support.)
-- Media upload size settings.
+
+### RSS feed
+
+GoToSocial lets you opt-in to exposing your profile as an RSS feed, so that people can subscribe to your public feed without missing a post.
+
+### Rich text formatting
+
+With GoToSocial, you can write posts using the popular, easy-to-use Markdown markup language, which lets you produce rich HTML posts with support for blockquotes, syntax-highlighted code blocks, lists, inline links, and more.

-### Client App Issues
+Since every ActivityPub server implementation has a slightly different interpretation of the protocol, some servers don't quite federate properly with GoToSocial yet. We're tracking these issues [with the federation label](https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues?labels=378188). Eventually, we want to make sure that any implementation that can federate nicely with Mastodon should also be able to federate with GoToSocial.
 
-GoToSocial works great with Tusky and Semaphore, but some other client applications still need work or have issues connecting to GoToSocial. We're tracking them [right here](https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/projects/5). It's our goal to make any app that's compatible with the Mastodon API work seamlessly with GoToSocial.

-### Stable
+#### 64-bit
+
+Notes on 64-bit CPU feature requirements:
+
+- x86_64 requires the [x86-64-v2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64-v2) level instruction sets. (CPUs manufactured after ~2010)
+
+- ARM64 requires no specific features, ARMv8 CPUs (and later) have all required features.
+
+If any of the above features are missing, performance of media processing (and possibly, SQLite) will suffer. In these situations, you may have some success building a binary yourself with the totally **unsupported, experimental** [nowasm](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/builds/nowasm/) tag.
+
+#### BSDs
+
+Mostly works, just [a few things to keep in mind](https://github.com/ncruces/go-sqlite3/wiki/Support-matrix) with WASM SQLite; check release notes carefully when installing on NetBSD or FreeBSD. If running with Postgres you should have no issues.
+
+#### 32-bit
+
+GtS doesn't work well on 32-bit systems like i386, or Armv6/v7, mainly due to performance of media decoding.
+
+We don't recommend running GtS on 32-bit, but you may have some success either turning off remote media processing altogether, or building a binary yourself with the totally **unsupported, experimental** [nowasm](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/builds/nowasm/) tag.
+
+For more guidance, check release notes when trying to install on 32-bit.
+
+#### OpenBSD
+
+Marked as unsupported due to performance issues (no WASM compiler, high memory usage when idle, crashes while processing media).
+
+While we don't support running GtS on OpenBSD, you may have some success building a binary yourself with the totally **unsupported, experimental** [nowasm](https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/builds/nowasm/) tag.

+### Corporate Sponsorship
+
+GoToSocial is open to sponsorship arrangements with organizations that align with our values. To show our thanks for your support, we will display your logo, website, and a short tagline on the repository and documentation. The following caveats apply to sponsorships:
+
+1. GoToSocial project direction will always remain 100% in the hands of the core team, and will never be dictated or influenced by corporate sponsorship. This is non-negotiable. Corporations are of course free of course to suggest / request features in the same manner as any other user, but they are not given special treatment.
+
+2. Corporate sponsorship is dependent on your organization meeting our team's ethical guidelines. These are not a concrete set of rules but instead boil down to "is your company causing harm?". For example, those in the defense industry need not apply as the simple answer to that question is, "yes!".
+
+If after reading this you are still interested in supporting us, that is wonderful! Please reach out to us at admin@gotosocial.org to further discuss :)

+
+GoToSocial (GtS) is an ActivityPub social network server, which provides a lightweight, simple entryway into Fediverse hosting. It is comparable to (but distinct from) projects such as Mastodon, Friendica, and PixelFed.
+
+GtS emphasizes user safety and privacy. Unlike other AP servers, it always requires http signatures, and makes a strong differentiation between 'public' and other kinds of posts. It also makes it very easy for admins to block instances they don't want to interact with, by allowing them to subscribe to block lists or allow lists, and to import blocks, ensuring that users stay safe.
+
+GtS values ease of deployment and maintenance; this means low system requirements, simple configuration, minimal external dependencies, and clear documentation. GtS makes it easy + affordable for self-hosting newcomers to set up a Fediverse server on low- (or even solar-) powered equipment they might have lying around at home.
+
+GtS began development in Feb 2021, and entered Beta in 2024. We hope to use NLnet funding to continue tuning performance and adding features as we work towards a 1.0 release.

+
+I have been working on GoToSocial since the beginning of the project, first independently, paying myself from my savings, and then thanks to two previous grants from NLnet. My colleague Kim has a similar trajectory, as they now work full time on the project, again thanks to NLnet.
+
+Over the last years we have put many thousands of hours of work into the project: writing code and documentation, fixing bugs, communicating with contributors and doing code review, deploying infrastructure for project builds and discussion, doing project planning, and answering user questions.
+
+Aside from our work on GoToSocial, we also maintain a fork of the Activity library (https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/activity), a fork of the standalone Mastodon frontend customized for GoToSocial (https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/masto-fe-standalone, deployed at https://masto-fe.superseriousbusiness.org), and Kim in particular maintains a large amount of libraries used by the project (https://codeberg.org/gruf), particularly go-ffmpreg (https://codeberg.org/gruf/go-ffmpreg).

+## Requested Support
+
+> Explain what the requested budget will be used for?
+> Does the project have other funding sources, both past and present?
+> (If you want, you can in addition attach a budget at the bottom of the form)
+> Explain costs for hardware, human labor (including rates used), travel cost to technical meetings, etc. (max 2500 characters, be concise)
+
+GoToSocial has received two NLnet grants previously, one in 2022-2023, for 50k euros, and another one in 2024-2025, for 75k euros, which we shared between the two of us. These grants went towards paying living costs for myself and Kim (rent, groceries, utilities, taxes, etc), while we both worked full time on the project.
+
+For our first grant we underbudgeted our own costs and ended up underpaying ourselves. We better estimated the second grant, but still had some issues doing more work than we budgeted for, taking account of bug fixes, extra features, and release coordination.
+
+With the benefit of experience, this time we intend to budget more sensibly so that we don't end up going into our overdrafts before the end of each milestone, hence we are asking for a larger amount of funding: 100k euros in total, or 50k euros each per year. This amount of money is comparable to the rate for a mid/senior-level developer in the countries we live in, and should allow us to pay our costs without panic.
+
+Happily, we receive a decent amount of money per month via OpenCollective (https://opencollective.com/gotosocial), which allows us to pay for costs (Greenhost.net) for our CI/CD + snapshot distribution server. It also allows us to pay our freelance colleague f0x for the contributions they are able to make when school is not too busy. As such, NLnet money does not need to be used for anything besides mine and Kim's living costs.
+
+This year, we would like to use the NGI Zero Commons grant to fund development of the following efforts (more tbd):
+
+- Add functionality to allow users and admins to configure cleanup of old statuses and accounts from the database, to keep database sizes smaller.
+- Implement better threading support when statuses are deleted (ie., store + show status tombstones).
+- Improve search performance and add full-text-search (SQLite, Postgres).
+- Add additional in-memory caches for frontend object types (statuses, notifications, etc) to reduce database calls and improve response times.
+- Add support for subscribing to relays, and allowing GoToSocial itself to act as a relay, improving connectivity with other instances.
+- Add additional federation controls (silence/mute/limit instances).
+- Add an opt-in profile directory to make it easier to discover accounts on an instance.
+- Implement admin panel section to track unreachable instances, so that admins can tell whether another instance has shut down, and take appropriate action.
+
+> Compare your own project with existing or historical efforts
+> E.g. what is new, more thorough or otherwise different. (max 4000 characters, be concise)
+
+ActivityPub is now a popular protocol, with a proliferation of AP implementations like Mastodon, Akkoma, Lemmy, Misskey (and its many forks), Pixelfed, WriteFreely, Wordpress, and more, each with its own focus and purpose. As strong as many of these implementations are, however, they are not without their downsides.
+
+For instance, Mastodon and Pixelfed both lean more towards replicating existing corporate social media efforts (Twitter and Instagram respectively), which is offputting for many users. These two implementations are also complex to install and maintain, which puts many would-be admins off hosting their own servers, and leads to a concentration of users on developer-run servers like mastodon.social and pixelfed.social, which breaks the promise of decentralization.
+
+Other ActivityPub-enabled microblogging softwares like Honk and Snac2 have fewer moving parts and lower system requirements, which has led to a surge of deployments of Snac2 in particular. However, their implementation of the Mastodon client API (the de-facto client API of the fediverse, for better or worse), misses some features, and the barebones admin functionality is not user-friendly for people unaccustomed to using the command line.
+
+In addition, some other fediverse projects have a heavy front-end UI which results in a poor experience on low-bandwidth connections or low-powered devices.
+
+GoToSocial's continued aim is to strike a balance between featureful but fairly resource-intensive AP implementations like Mastodon, and lighter and simpler AP implementations like Snac2 and Honk.
+
+Firstly, GtS is small, easy to run, and very well documented. It uses about 200-300MiB of memory on average, so it can be deployed on tiny VPSs for cheap, and on single-board computers. It has no dependencies on things like ffmpeg or on-system SQLite, as everything is virtualized inside the single binary using WASM/Wazero. This means that people who want to run GoToSocial don't need to install or maintain anything else on the host, and it is very easy for third parties like Yunohost to package and distribute.
+
+Secondly, the admin/settings panel offers admins and users the ability to easily customize their profiles and adjust the way that their instance looks, feels, and federates, and to handle day-to-day admin tasks like reviewing reports, blocking or allowing other instances, etc. The web view of profiles is rendered in simple HTML + CSS; Javascript is not required, but is used for progressive enhancement if available. This makes it relatively easy to view a GoToSocial profile on a mobile device with poor connection, on a lower-end laptop etc.
+
+Thirdly, it provides strong safety features thanks to strict block implementation, always-on HTTP signature authentication, interaction controls, and allowing users to choose what visibility of level of posts can be viewed on their profile. The allowlist subscription functionality we added in 2024 is also critical here, as it allows groups of instances to easily federate only with each other, forming "islands" that can be more easily moderated than fully open federation.
+
+Fourthly, we have been -- and continue to be -- fastidious with our Mastodon client API implementation, which means that GoToSocial can be used with a wide variety of clients that provide different experiences to the user. It even works with apps for Pixelfed, so user's can use a GoToSocial account for 'gram-style media-only posting.
+
+> What are significant technical challenges you expect to solve during the project, if any? (optional but recommended, max 5000 characters)
+
+Many of the technical challenges we expect to overcome during this development period are specific to the development efforts we will undertake as part of this grant:
+
+- Status cleanup: Ensure that cleanup processes are capable of being regularly scheduled asynchronously, while not consuming all available server resources (with what will likely involve scanning the entirety of our largest database table!). This may require some clever indexing and/or marking of statuses as expirable in advance.
+- Status tombstones: figure out whether we can write a migration to retroactively rethread old statuses that have become unlinked due to deletes.
+- Relay support: figure out whether adding support for relay mode will require a separate relay binary, and if so, refactor sections of the codebase into libraries that can be shared by that binary.
+- Relay support: make sure GoToSocial can subscribe to both existing relay services, as well as GoToSocial relays (this will probably involve lots of dipping into the codebases of existing relay services like fedi buzz, to figure out what they're doing). And vice versa: ensure that existing fedi implementations with relay support can subscribe to GoToSocial relays.
+- Relay support: make sure that DB sizes and memory usage don't become too burdensome given the amount of statuses that relays are likely to process compared to a vanilla instance.
+- Profile directory: ensure "discoverable" flag is respected; optimize required new database queries to ensure they use existing indexes (or figure out which new ones need to be created).
+- Search support: ensure that the same functionality and performance is offered by both Postgres and SQLite; possibly refactor our database wrappers and migration code for this.
+- Unreachable instances: develop a reasonable heuristic to determine whether an instance is unreachable; work out the best way of storing this information in the database and presenting it to admins via the settings panel.
+
+Other technical challenges we will (continue to) address in the near future are not related to any specific milestone task:
+
+- Ensure continued compatibility of GoToSocial with other fedi software projects.
+- Ensure continued compatibility of GoToSocial with Mastodon API client apps.
+- Refactor old parts of the codebase to increase readability and remove bugs.
+- Make performance tweaks to the codebase wherever necessary (reduce CPU usage, improve memory usage).
+- Increase coverage of our test suites.
+- Continue to support seamless database migration from old versions of GoToSocial to newer ones.
+- Refactor some of the frontend settings panel code to maximize code reuse and minimize compiled javascript size, before adding lots of new functionality.
+- Move our CI/CD infrastructure and code repository from Github to Codeberg with minimal disruption to our work.
+
+> Describe the ecosystem of the project, and how you will engage with relevant actors and promote the outcomes. E.g. which actors will you involve? Who should run or deploy your solution to make it a success? (max 2500 characters, be concise)
+
+Much of the work we do involves debugging and solving interoperability issues with other federated softwares, which requires keeping communication channels open with the maintainers of those, and figuring out who needs to change what in order for the issue to be resolved. We've done that a lot over the last year or so:
+
+- Fixed interop with Bandwagon: https://github.com/EmissarySocial/bandwagon/issues/152
+- Fixed interop with Iceshrimp: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/1947
+- Coordinated interop with Mastodon: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/pulls/3703
+- Fixed federation with Gancio: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/3875
+- Alerted Pixelfed of AP serialization issues: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/5642
+- Cajoled Bluesky into adding user-agent headers: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/issues/3504
+- Help out Writefreely with http signature request issues: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/issues/661#issuecomment-1951367449
+- Debug federation with Lemmy along with one of the Lemmy devs: https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/2697
+
+For GoToSocial-specific extensions to ActivityPub, we've also diligently documented what we've done so far, and exposed a GoToSocial namespace so that remote softwares can easily incorporate GtS extensions if they want to: https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/federation/interaction_policy/, https://gotosocial.org/ns.
+
+This is all part and parcel of our goal for GoToSocial to be a "good citizen" in terms of how it federates, and how we fit into the larger ActivityPub microblogging ecosystem. We intend to keep doing this!

+# Database Maintenance
+
+Regardless of whether you choose to run GoToSocial with SQLite or Postgres, you may need to occasionally take maintenance steps to keep your database running well.
+
+!!! tip
+    
+    Though the maintenance tips provided here are intended to be non-destructive, you should backup your database before manually performing maintenance. That way if you mistype something or accidentally run a bad command, you can restore your backup and try again.
+
+!!! danger
+    
+    Manually creating, deleting, or updating entries in your GoToSocial database is **heavily discouraged**, and such commands are not provided here. Even if you think you know what you are doing, running `DELETE` statements etc. may introduce issues that are very difficult to debug. The maintenance tips below are designed to help with the smooth running of your instance; they will not save your ass if you have manually gone into your database and hacked at entries, tables, and indexes.
+
+## SQLite
+
+To do manual SQLite maintenance, you should first install the SQLite command line tool `sqlite3` on the same machine that your GoToSocial sqlite.db file is stored on. See [here](https://sqlite.org/cli.html) for details about `sqlite3`.
+
+### Analyze / Optimize
+
+Following [SQLite best practice](https://sqlite.org/lang_analyze.html#recommended_usage_pattern), GoToSocial runs the `optimize` SQLite pragma with `analysis_limit=1000` on closing database connections to keep index information up to date.
+
+After each set of database migrations (eg., when starting a newer version of GoToSocial), GoToSocial will run `ANALYZE` to ensure that any indexes added or removed by migrations are taken into account correctly by the query planner.
+
+The `ANALYZE` command may take ~10 minutes depending on your hardware and the size of your database file.
+
+Because of the above automated steps, in normal circumstances you should not need to run manual `ANALYZE` commands against your SQLite database file.
+
+However, if you interrupted a previous `ANALYZE` command, and you notice that queries are running remarkably slowly, it could be the case that the index metadata stored in SQLite's internal tables has been removed or undesirably altered.
+
+If this is the case, you can try manually running a full `ANALYZE` command, by doing the following:
+
+1. Stop GoToSocial.
+2. While connected to your GoToSocial database file in the `sqlite3` shell, run `PRAGMA analysis_limit=0; ANALYZE;` (this may take quite a few minutes).
+3. Start GoToSocial.
+
+[See here](https://sqlite.org/lang_analyze.html#approximate_analyze_for_large_databases) for more info.
+
+### Vacuum
+
+GoToSocial does not currently enable auto-vacuum for SQLite. To repack the database file to an optimal size you may want to run a `VACUUM` command on your SQLite database periodically (eg., every few months).
+
+You can see lots of information about the `VACUUM` command [here](https://sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html).
+
+The basic steps are:
+
+1. Stop GoToSocial.
+2. While connected to your GoToSocial database file in the `sqlite3` shell, run `VACUUM;` (this may take quite a few minutes).
+3. Start GoToSocial.
+
+### Replication
+
+It's a common practice to set up safeguards for your database like replication. SQLite can be replicated using external software. The basic steps are described on the [Replicating SQLite](../advanced/replicating-sqlite.md) page.

+# Domain Permission Subscriptions
+
+Via the [admin settings panel](./settings.md#subscriptions), you can create and manage domain permission subscriptions.
+
+Domain permission subscriptions allow you to specify a URL at which a permission list is hosted. Every 24hrs at 11pm (by default), your instance will fetch and parse each list you're subscribed to, in order of priority (highest to lowest), and create domain permissions (or domain permission drafts) based on entries discovered in the lists.
+
+Each domain permission subscription can be used to create domain allow or domain block entries.
+
+!!! warning
+    Currently, via blocklist subscriptions it is only possible to create "suspend" level domain blocks; other severities are not yet supported. Entries of severity "silence" or "limit" etc. on subscribed blocklists will be skipped.
+
+## Priority
+
+When you specify multiple domain permission subscriptions, they will be fetched and parsed in order of priority, from highest priority (255) to lowest priority (0).
+
+Permissions discovered on lists higher up in the priority ranking will override permissions on lists lower down in the priority ranking.
+
+For example, an instance admin subscribes to two allow lists, "Important List" at priority 255, and "Less Important List" at priority 128. Each of these subscribed lists contain an entry for `good-eggs.example.org`.
+
+The subscription with the higher priority is the one that now creates and manages the domain allow entry for `good-eggs.example.org`.
+
+If the subscription with the higher priority is removed, then the next time all the subscriptions are fetched, "Less Important List" will create (or take ownership of) the domain allow instead.
+
+## Retractions
+
+Sometimes, an entry that was present on a subscribed block or allow list will be removed later by the curator(s) of that list. When this happens, the removed domain permission entry can be said to have been "retracted".
+
+For example, say your instance subscribes to one block list, and that block list contains an entry for `baddies.example.org`. A corresponding domain block for `baddies.example.org` has therefore been created in your database, with the subscription ID of your block list. In other words, the domain block is in force, and is managed by your block list subscription.
+
+At some point, your instance fetches the list again, and this time it sees that the entry for `baddies.example.org` is no longer present in the list, because it has been removed by the list curator(s) (perhaps the admins turned their policies around, or the instance was shut down, etc). Thus, according to your instance, the block for `baddies.example.org` is now a "retracted" domain permission entry.
+
+If the domain permission subscription is set to "Remove retracted permissions," then the now-retracted domain block will be removed from the database, and will no longer be enforced. In this example, that means your instance will start federating (again) with `baddies.example.org`.
+
+If the domain permission subscription is *not* set to "Remove retracted permissions," then instead of the retracted block being removed from the database, it will be kept in the database but "orphaned" -- ie., it will still be in force, but it will be marked as no longer being managed by the subscription. In this example, that means your instance will keep blocking `baddies.example.org`.
+
+!!!! Note "Retracted permissions and other subscriptions"
+    When a permission is retracted and removed from the database, but an entry for it exists on the list of *another* subscription of a lower priority than the one it was retracted from, then the permission will be recreated as an entry managed by the lower priority list.
+
+    For example, say you subscribe to List1 at priority 255, and List2 at priority 128, and `baddies.example.org` is present on both lists. That means the domain block entry will be managed by List1. If List1 later *retracts* the entry, it will be removed from your database (assuming you have "Remove retracted permissions" set). However, as soon as List2 is checked (usually seconds after List1), then an entry for `baddies.example.org` will be created again, but managed by List2 this time.
+
+    In other words, it is only when an entry is retracted from *every list you subscribe to* that it will truly be removed.
+
+## Orphan Permissions
+
+Domain permissions (blocks or allows) that are not currently managed by a domain permission subscription are considered "orphan" permissions. This includes permissions that an admin created in the settings panel by hand, entries which were imported manually via the import/export page, or entries that belonged to a subscription but have since been retracted but not removed.
+
+If you wish, when creating a domain permission subscription, you can set ["adopt orphans"](./settings.md#adopt-orphan-permissions) to true for that subscription. If a domain permission subscription that is set to adopt orphans encounters an orphan permission which is *also present on the list at the subscription's URI*, then it will "adopt" the orphan by setting the orphan's subscription ID to its own ID.
+
+For example, an instance admin manually creates a domain block for the domain `horrid-trolls.example.org`. Later, they create a domain permission subscription for a block list that contains an entry for `horrid-trolls.example.org`, and they set "adopt orphans" to true. When their instance fetches and parses the list, and creates domain permission entries from it, then the orphan domain block for `horrid-trolls.example.org` gets adopted by the domain permission subscription. Now, if the domain permission subscription is removed, and the option to remove all permissions owned by the subscription is checked, then the domain block for `horrid-trolls.example.org` will also be removed.
+
+## Fun Stuff To Do With Domain Permission Subscriptions
+
+### 1. Create an allowlist-federation cluster.
+
+Domain permission subscriptions make it possible to easily create allowlist-federation clusters, ie., a group of instances can essentially form their own mini-fediverse, wherein each instance runs in [allowlist federation mode](./federation_modes.md#allowlist-federation-mode), and subscribes to a cooperatively-managed allowlist hosted somewhere.
+
+For example, instances `instance-a.example.org`, `instance-b.example.org`, and `instance-c.example.org` decide that they only want to federate with each other.
+
+Using some version management platform like Codeberg, they host a plaintext-formatted allowlist at something like `https://codeberg.org/our-cluster/allowlist/raw/branch/main/allows.txt`.
+
+The contents of the plaintext-formatted allowlist are as follows:
+
+```text
+instance-a.example.org
+instance-b.example.org
+instance-c.example.org
+```
+
+Each instance admin sets their federation mode to `allowlist`, and creates a subscription to create allows from `https://codeberg.org/our-cluster/allowlist/raw/branch/main/allows.txt`, which results in domain allow entries being created for their own domain, and for each other domain in the cluster.
+
+At some point, someone from `instance-d.example.org` asks (out of band) whether they can be added to the cluster. The existing admins agree, and update their plaintext-formatted allowlist to read:
+
+```text
+instance-a.example.org
+instance-b.example.org
+instance-c.example.org
+instance-d.example.org
+```
+
+The next time each instance fetches the list, a new domain allow entry will be created for `instance-d.example.org`, and it will be able to federate with the other domains on the list.
+
+### 2. Cooperatively manage a blocklist.
+
+Domain permission subscriptions make it easy to collaborate on and subscribe to shared blocklists of domains that host illegal / fashy / otherwise undesired accounts and content.
+
+For example, the admins of instances `instance-e.example.org`, `instance-f.example.org`, and `instance-g.example.org` decide that they are tired of duplicating work by playing whack-a-mole with bad actors. To make their lives easier, they decide to collaborate on a shared blocklist.
+
+Using some version management platform like Codeberg, they host a blocklist at something like `https://codeberg.org/our-cluster/allowlist/raw/branch/main/blocks.csv`.
+
+When someone discovers a new domain hosting an instance they don't like, they can open a pull request or similar against the list, to add the questionable instance to the domain.
+
+For example, someone gets an unpleasant reply from a new instance `fashy-arseholes.example.org`. Using their collaboration tools, they propose adding `fashy-arseholes.example.org` to the blocklist. After some deliberation and discussion, the domain is added to the list.
+
+The next time each of `instance-e.example.org`, `instance-f.example.org`, and `instance-g.example.org` fetch the block list, a block entry will be created for ``fashy-arseholes.example.org``.
+
+### 3. Subscribe to a blocklist, but ignore some of it.
+
+Say that `instance-g.example.org` in the previous section decides that they agree with most of the collaboratively-curated blocklist, but they actually would like to keep federating with ``fashy-arseholes.example.org`` for some godforsaken reason.
+
+This can be done in one of three ways:
+
+1. The admin of `instance-g.example.org` subscribes to the shared blocklist, but they do so with the ["create as drafts"](./settings.md#create-permissions-as-drafts) option set to true. When their instance fetches the blocklist, a draft block is created for `fashy-arseholes.example.org`. The admin of `instance-g` just leaves the permission as a draft, or rejects it, so it never comes into force.
+2. Before the blocklist is re-fetched, the admin of `instance-g.example.org` creates a [domain permission exclude](./settings.md#excludes) entry for ``instance-g.example.org``. The domain ``instance-g.example.org`` then becomes exempt/excluded from automatic permission creation, and so the block for ``instance-g.example.org`` on the shared blocklist does not get created in the database of ``instance-g.example.org`` the next time the list is fetched.
+3. The admin of `instance-g.example.org` creates an explicit domain allow entry for `fashy-arseholes.example.org` on their own instance. Because their instance is running in `blocklist` federation mode, [the explicit allow overrides the domain block entry](./federation_modes.md#in-blocklist-mode), and so the domain remains unblocked.
+
+### 4. Subscribe directly to another instance's blocklist.
+
+Because GoToSocial is able to fetch and parse JSON-formatted lists of domain permissions, it is possible to subscribe directly to another instance's list of blocked domains via their `/api/v1/instance/domain_blocks` (Mastodon) or `/api/v1/instance/peers?filter=suspended` (GoToSocial) endpoint (if exposed).
+
+For example, the Mastodon instance `peepee.poopoo.example.org` exposes their block list publicly, and the owner of the GoToSocial instance `instance-h.example.org` decides they quite like the cut of the Mastodon moderator's jib. They create a domain permission subscription of type JSON, and set the URI to `https://peepee.poopoo.example.org/api/v1/instance/domain_blocks`. Every 24 hours, their instance will go fetch the blocklist JSON from the Mastodon instance, and create permissions based on entries discovered therein.
+
+## Example lists per content type
+
+Shown below are examples of the different permission list formats that GoToSocial is able to understand and parse.
+
+Each list contains three domains, `bumfaces.net`, `peepee.poopoo`, and `nothanks.com`.
+
+### CSV
+
+CSV lists use content type `text/csv`.
+
+Mastodon domain permission exports generally use this format.
+
+```csv
+#domain,#severity,#reject_media,#reject_reports,#public_comment,#obfuscate
+bumfaces.net,suspend,false,false,big jerks,false
+peepee.poopoo,suspend,false,false,harassment,false
+nothanks.com,suspend,false,false,,false
+```
+
+### JSON (application/json)
+
+JSON lists use content type `application/json`.
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "domain": "bumfaces.net",
+    "suspended_at": "2020-05-13T13:29:12.000Z",
+    "comment": "big jerks"
+  },
+  {
+    "domain": "peepee.poopoo",
+    "suspended_at": "2020-05-13T13:29:12.000Z",
+    "comment": "harassment"
+  },
+  {
+    "domain": "nothanks.com",
+    "suspended_at": "2020-05-13T13:29:12.000Z"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+As an alternative to `"comment"`, `"public_comment"` will also work:
+
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "domain": "bumfaces.net",
+    "suspended_at": "2020-05-13T13:29:12.000Z",
+    "public_comment": "big jerks"
+  },
+  {
+    "domain": "peepee.poopoo",
+    "suspended_at": "2020-05-13T13:29:12.000Z",
+    "public_comment": "harassment"
+  },
+  {
+    "domain": "nothanks.com",
+    "suspended_at": "2020-05-13T13:29:12.000Z"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+### Plaintext (text/plain)
+
+Plaintext lists use content type `text/plain`.
+
+Note that it is not possible to include any fields like "obfuscate" or "public comment" in plaintext lists, as they are simply a newline-separated list of domains.
+
+```text
+bumfaces.net
+peepee.poopoo
+nothanks.com

 Upon importing a list, either through the input field or from a file, you can review the entries in the list before importing a subset. You'll also be warned for entries that use subdomains, providing an easy way to change them to the main domain.
 
+#### Drafts
+
+In this section you can create, search through, accept, and reject domain permission drafts.
+
+Domain permission drafts are domain permissions that have been proposed (either via manual creation or as an entry from a subscribed block / allow list), but have not yet come into force.
+
+Until it is accepted, a domain permission draft will not have any effect on federation with the domain it targets. Upon acceptance, it will be converted into either a domain block or a domain allow, and start being enforced.
+
+#### Excludes
+
+In this section, you can create, search through, and remove domain permission excludes.
+
+Domain permission excludes prevent permissions for a domain (and all subdomains) from being automatically managed by domain permission subscriptions.
+
+For example, if you create an exclude entry for the domain `example.org`, then a blocklist or allowlist subscription will exclude entries for `example.org` and any of its subdomains (`sub.example.org`, `another.sub.example.org` etc.) when creating domain permission drafts and domain blocks/allows.
+
+This functionality allows you to manually manage permissions for excluded domains, in cases where you know you definitely do or don't want to federate with a given domain, no matter what entries are contained in a domain permission subscription.
+
+Note that by itself, creation of an exclude entry for a given domain does not affect federation with that domain at all, it is only useful in combination with permission subscriptions.
+
+#### Subscriptions
+
+In this section, you can create, search through, edit, test, and remove domain permission subscriptions.
+
+Domain permission subscriptions allow you to specify a URL at which a permission list is hosted. Every 24hrs at 11pm (by default), your instance will fetch and parse each subscribed list, and create domain permissions (or domain permission drafts) based on entries in the lists.
+
+##### Title
+
+You can optionally use the title field to set a title for the subscription, as a reminder for yourself and other admins.
+
+For example, you might subscribe to a list at `https://lists.example.org/baddies.csv` and set the title of the subscription to something that reflects the contents of that list, such as "Basic block list (worst of the worst)", or similar.
+
+##### Subscription Priority
+
+When you specify multiple domain permission subscriptions, they will be fetched and parsed in order of priority, from highest priority (255) to lowest priority (0).
+
+Permissions discovered on lists higher up in the priority ranking will override permissions on lists lower down in the priority ranking.
+
+For more information on priority, please see the separate [domain permission subscriptions](./domain_permission_subscriptions.md) document.
+
+##### Permission Type
+
+You can use this dropdown to select whether permissions discovered at the list URL should be created as domain blocks, or domain allows.
+
+##### Content Type
+
+You can use this dropdown to select the content type of the list at the subscribed URL.
+
+Use CSV for Mastodon-style permission lists, plain for plaintext lists of domain names, or JSON for json-exported lists.
+
+##### Basic Auth
+
+Check this box to provide a basic auth username and/or password credential for the subscribed list, which will be sent along with each request to fetch the list.
+
+##### Adopt Orphan Permissions
+
+If you check this box, then any existing domain permissions will become managed by this subscription in the following circumstances:
+
+1. They don't already have a subscription ID (ie., they're not managed by any domain permission subscription).
+2. They match a domain permission included in the list at the URL of this subscription.
+
+For more information on orphan permissions, please see the separate [domain permission subscriptions](./domain_permission_subscriptions.md#orphan-permissions) document.
+
+##### Remove Retracted Permissions
+
+This setting controls how retractions are handled by this domain permission subscription: if "Remove retracted permissions" is checked, retracted entries will be removed from the database; if "Remove retracted permissions" is not checked, retracted entries will just be orphaned instead.
+
+For more detail on how retractions work, with examples, please see the separate [domain permission subscriptions](./domain_permission_subscriptions.md#retractions) document.
+
+##### Create Permissions as Drafts
+
+With this box checked (default), any permissions created by this subscription will be created as **drafts** which require manual approval to come into force.
+
+It is recommended to leave this box checked unless you absolutely trust the subscribed list, to avoid inadvertent blocking or allowing of domains you'd rather not block or allow.
+
+##### Test a Subscription
+
+To test whether a subscription can be successfully parsed, first create the subscription, then in the detailed view for that subscription, click on the "Test" button.
+
+If your instance is able to fetch and parse permissions at the subscription URI, then you will see a list of these after clicking "Test". Otherwise, you will see an error message.

+# New Account Sign-Ups
+
+If you want to allow more people than just you to have an account on your instance, you can open your instance to new account sign-ups / registrations.
+
+Be wary that as instance admin, like it or not, you are responsible for what people post on your instance. If users on your instance harass or annoy other people on the fediverse, you may find your instance gets a bad reputation and becomes blocked by others. Moderating a space properly takes work. As such, you should carefully consider whether or not you are willing and able to do moderation, and consider accepting sign-ups on your instance only from friends and people that you really trust.
+
+!!! warning
+    For the sign-up flow to work as intended, your instance [should be configured to send emails](../configuration/smtp.md).
+    
+    As mentioned below, several emails are sent during the sign-up flow, both to you (as admin/moderator) and to the applicant, including an email asking them to confirm their email address.
+    
+    If they cannot receive this email (because your instance is not configured to send emails), you will have to manually confirm the account by [using the CLI tool](../admin/cli.md#gotosocial-admin-account-confirm).
+
+## Opening Sign-Ups
+
+You can open new account sign-ups for your instance by changing the variable `accounts-registration-open` to `true` in your [configuration](../configuration/accounts.md), and restarting your GoToSocial instance.
+
+A sign-up form for your instance will be available at the `/signup` endpoint. For example, `https://your-instance.example.org/signup`.
+
+![Sign-up form, showing email, password, username, and reason fields.](../public/signup-form.png)
+
+Also, your instance homepage and "about" pages will be updated to reflect that registrations are open.
+
+When someone submits a new sign-up, they'll receive an email at the provided email address, giving them a link to confirm that the address really belongs to them.
+
+In the meantime, admins and moderators on your instance will receive an email and a notification that a new sign-up has been submitted.
+
+## Handling Sign-Ups
+
+Instance admins and moderators can handle a new sign-up by either approving or rejecting it via the "accounts" -> "pending" section in the admin panel.
+
+![Admin settings panel open to "accounts" -> "pending", showing one account in a list.](../public/signup-pending.png)
+
+If you have no sign-ups, the list pictured above will be empty. If you have a pending account sign-up, however, you can click on it to open that account in the account details screen:
+
+![Details of a new pending account, giving options to approve or reject the sign-up.](../public/signup-account.png)
+
+At the bottom, you will find actions that let you approve or reject the sign-up.
+
+If you **approve** the sign-up, the account will be marked as "approved", and an email will be sent to the applicant informing them their sign-up has been approved, and reminding them to confirm their email address if they haven't already done so. If they have already confirmed their email address, they will be able to log in and start using their account.
+
+If you **reject** the sign-up, you may wish to inform the applicant that their sign-up has been rejected, which you can do by ticking the "send email" checkbox. This will send a short email to the applicant informing them of the rejection. If you wish, you can add a custom message, which will be added at the bottom of the email. You can also add a private note that will be visible to other admins only.
+
+!!! warning
+    You may want to hold off on approving a sign-up until they have confirmed their email address, in case the applicant made a typo when submitting, or the email address they provided does not actually belong to them. If they cannot confirm their email address, they will not be able to log in and use their account.
+
+## Sign-Up Limits
+
+By default, to avoid sign-up backlogs overwhelming admins and moderators, GoToSocial limits the sign-up pending backlog to 20 accounts. Once there are 20 accounts pending in the backlog waiting to be handled by an admin or moderator, new sign-ups will not be accepted via the form.
+
+By default, new sign-ups will also not be accepted via the form if 10 or more new account sign-ups have been approved in the last 24 hours, to avoid instances rapidly expanding beyond the capabilities of moderators.
+
+In both cases, applicants will be shown an error message explaining why they could not submit the form, and inviting them to try again later.
+
+The limit of sign-ups per day, and the backlog size, can be configured or disabled altogether with the variables `accounts-registration-daily-limit` and `accounts-registration-backlog-limit`. See the [accounts config section](../configuration/accounts.md) for more info.
+
+To combat spam accounts, GoToSocial account sign-ups **always** require manual approval by an administrator, and applicants must **always** confirm their email address before they are able to log in and post.
+
+## Sign-Up Via Invite
+
+NOT IMPLEMENTED YET: in a future update, admins and moderators will be able to create and send invites that allow accounts to be created even when public sign-up is closed, and to pre-approve accounts created via invitation, and/or allow them to override the sign-up limits described above.

+# Managing GtS on slow hardware
+
+While GoToSocial runs great on lower-end hardware, some operations are not practical on it, especially
+instances with the database on slow storage (think anything that is not an SSD).  This document
+offers some suggestions on how to work around common issues when running GtS on slow hardware.
+
+## Running database migrations on a different machine
+
+Sometimes a database migration will need to do operations that are taxing on the database's storage.
+These operations can take days if the database resides on a hard disk or SD card. If your
+database is on slow storage, it can save a lot of time to follow the following procedure:
+
+!!! danger
+
+    It might seem tempting to keep GtS running while you run the migrations on another machine, but
+    doing this will lead to all the posts that are received during the migration post disappearing
+    once the migrated database is re-imported.
+
+ 1. Shut down GtS
+ 2. Take a [backup](backup_and_restore.md#what-to-backup-database) of the database
+ 3. Import the database on faster hardware
+ 4. Run the GtS migration on the faster hardware
+ 5. Take a backup of the resultant database
+ 6. Import the resultant backup and overwrite the old database
+ 7. Start GtS with the new version
+
+### Running GtS migrations separately
+
+After you import the database on the faster hardware, you can run the migration without starting
+GtS by downloading the *target* GtS version from the [releases](https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases) page.
+For instance, if you are running `v0.19.2` and you want to upgrade to `v0.20.0-rc1`, download the
+latter version. Once you have the binary, set it to executable by running `chmod u+x /path/to/gotosocial`. Afterwards, copy the configuration of the original server, and alter
+it with the location of the new database. We copy the configuration in case variables like
+the hostname is used in the migration, we want to keep that consistent.
+Once everything is in place, you can run the migration like this:
+
+```sh
+$ /path/to/gotosocial --config-path /path/to/config migrations run
+```
+
+This will run all the migrations, just like GtS would if it was started normally. Once this is done
+you can copy the result to the original instance and start the new GtS version there as well, which
+will see that everything is migrated and that there's nothing to do except run as expected.

+      - "~/gotosocial/my-themes/new-theme.css:/gotosocial/web/assets/themes/new-theme.css"
+    ```
+    
+    Bear in mind if you mount an entire directory to `/gotosocial/web/assets/themes` instead of mounting individual theme files, you'll override the default themes.

+# Build without Wazero / WASM
+
+!!! Danger "This is unsupported"
+    We do not offer any kind of support for deployments of GoToSocial built with the `nowasm` tag described in this section. Such builds should be considered strictly experimental, and any issues that come when running them are none of our business! Please don't open issues on the repo looking for help debugging deployments of `nowasm` builds.
+
+On [supported platforms](../../getting_started/releases.md#supported-platforms), GoToSocial uses the WebAssembly runtime [Wazero](https://wazero.io/) to sandbox `ffmpeg`, `ffprobe`, and `sqlite3` WebAssembly binaries, allowing these applications to be packaged and run inside the GoToSocial binary, without requiring admins to install + manage any external dependencies.
+
+This has the advantage of making it easier for admins to maintain their GoToSocial instance, as their GtS binary is completely isolated from any changes to their system-installed `ffmpeg`, `ffprobe`, and `sqlite`. It's also a bit safer to run `ffmpeg` in this way, as GoToSocial wraps the `ffmpeg` binary in a very constrained file system that doesn't permit the `ffmpeg` binary to access any files other than the ones it's decoding + reencoding. In other words, GoToSocial on supported platforms offers most of the functionality of `ffmpeg` and so on, without some of the headaches.
+
+However, not all platforms are capable of running Wazero in the much-faster "compiler" mode, and have to fall back to the very slow (and resource-heavy) "interpreter" mode. See [this table](https://github.com/tetratelabs/wazero?tab=readme-ov-file#conformance) from Wazero for conformance.
+
+"Interpreter" mode runs so poorly for GoToSocial's use case that it's simply not feasible to run a GoToSocial instance in a stable manner on platforms that aren't 64-bit Linux or 64-bit FreeBSD, as all the memory and CPU get gobbled up by media processing.
+
+However! To enable folks to run **experimental, unsupported deployments of GoToSocial**, we expose the `nowasm` build tag, which can be used to compile a build of GoToSocial that does not use Wazero or WASM at all.
+
+A GoToSocial binary built with `nowasm` will use the [modernc version of SQLite](https://pkg.go.dev/modernc.org/sqlite) instead of the WASM one, and will use on-system `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` binaries for media processing.
+
+!!! tip
+    To test if your system is compatible with the standard builds, you can use this command:
+    `if grep -qE '^flags.* (sse4|LSE)' /proc/cpuinfo; then echo "Your system is supporting GTS!"; else echo "Your system is not supporting GTS, you'll have to use the 'nowasm' builds :("; fi`
+
+To build GoToSocial with the `nowasm` tag, you can pass the tag into our convenience `build.sh` script like so:
+
+```bash
+GO_BUILDTAGS=nowasm ./scripts/build.sh
+```
+
+In order to run a version of GoToSocial built in this way, you must ensure that `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` are installed on the host. This is usually as simple as running a command like `doas -u root pkg_add ffmpeg` (OpenBSD), or `sudo apt install ffmpeg` (Debian etc.). 
+
+!!! Danger "No really though, it's unsupported"
+    Again, if running builds of GoToSocial with `nowasm` works for your OS/Arch combination, that's great, but we do not support such builds and we won't be able to help debugging why something doesn't work.

+# Health Checks
+
+GoToSocial exposes two health check HTTP endpoints: `/readyz` and `/livez`.
+
+These can be used to check whether GoToSocial is reachable and able to make simple database queries.
+
+`/livez` will always return a 200 OK response with no body, in response to both GET and HEAD requests. This is useful to check if the GoToSocial service is alive.
+
+`/readyz` will return a 200 OK response with no body, in response to both GET and HEAD requests, if GoToSocial is able to run a very simple SELECT query against the configured database backend. If an error occurs while running the SELECT, the error will be logged, and 500 Internal Server Error will be returned, with no body.
+
+You can use the above endpoints to implement health checks in container runtimes / orchestration systems.
+
+For example, in a Docker setup, you could add the following to your docker-compose.yaml:
+
+```yaml
+healthcheck:
+  test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:8080/readyz || exit 1
+  interval: 120s
+  retries: 5
+  start_period: 30s
+  timeout: 10s
+```
+
+The above health check will start after 30 seconds, and check every two minutes whether the service is available by doing a HEAD request to `/readyz`. If the check fails five times in a row, the service will be reported as unhealthy. You can use this in whatever orchestration system you are using to force the container to restart.
+
+!!! warning
+    When doing database migrations on slow hardware, migration might take longer than the 10 minutes afforded by the above health check.
+    
+    On such a system, you may want to increase the interval or number of retries of the health check to ensure that you don't stop GoToSocial in the middle of a migration (which is a very bad thing to do!).
+
+!!! tip
+    Though the health check endpoints don't reveal any sensitive info, and run only very simple queries, you may want to avoid exposing them to the outside world. You could do this in nginx, for example, by adding the following snippet to your `server` stanza:
+    
+    ```nginx
+    location /livez {
+      return 404;
+    }
+    location /readyz {
+      return 404;
+    }
+    ```
+    
+    This will cause nginx to intercept these requests *before* they are passed to GoToSocial, and just return 404 Not Found.

 # Metrics
 
-GoToSocial comes with [OpenTelemetry][otel] based metrics. The metrics are exposed using the [Prometheus exposition format][prom] on the `/metrics` path. The configuration settings are documented in the [Observability configuration reference][obs].
+GoToSocial uses the [OpenTelemetry][otel] Go SDK to enable instance admins to expose runtime metrics in the Prometheus metrics format.
 
-Currently the following metrics are collected:
+Currently, the following metrics are collected:
 
 * Go performance and runtime metrics
-* Gin (HTTP) metrics
+* Gin (HTTP server) metrics
 * Bun (database) metrics
 
-Metrics can be enable with the following configuration:
+## Enabling metrics
+
+To enable metrics, first set the `metrics-enabled` configuration value to `true` in your config.yaml file:
 
 ```yaml
 metrics-enabled: true
 ```
 
-Though metrics do not contain anything privacy sensitive, you may not want to allow just anyone to view and scrape operational metrics of your instance.
+Then, you will need to set some additional environment variables on the GoToSocial process in order to configure OpenTelemetry to expose metrics in the Prometheus format:
+
+```env
+OTEL_METRICS_PRODUCERS=prometheus
+OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=prometheus
+```
+
+By default, this configuration will instantiate an additional HTTP server running alongside the standard GoToSocial HTTP server, which exposes a Prometheus metrics endpoint at `localhost:9464/metrics`.
+
+!!! tip
+    If you are running GoToSocial using the [example systemd service definition](../../example/gotosocial.service), you can easily set these environment variables by uncommenting the relevant two lines in that file, and reloading + restarting the service.
+
+If you wish, you can further customize this metrics HTTP server by using the following environment variables to change the host and port:
+
+```env
+OTEL_EXPORTER_PROMETHEUS_HOST=example.org
+OTEL_EXPORTER_PROMETHEUS_PORT=9999
+```
+
+## Serving metrics to the outside world
+
+If you have deployed GoToSocial in a "bare-metal" fashion without a reverse proxy, you can expose the metrics endpoint to the outside world by setting `OTEL_EXPORTER_PROMETHEUS_HOST` to your host value. For example, if your GtS instance `host` configuration value is set to `example.org`, you should set `OTEL_EXPORTER_PROMETHEUS_HOST=example.org`. You should then be able to access your metrics at `http://example.org:9464/metrics`. GoToSocial running in this fashion will not serve LetsEncrypt certificates at the metrics endpoint, so you will be limited to using HTTP rather than HTTPS.
+
+If you are using a reverse proxy like Nginx, you can expose the metrics endpoint to the outside world with HTTPS certificates, by putting an additional location stanza in your Nginx configuration above the catch-all `location /` stanza:
+
+```nginx
+location /metrics {
+  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9464;
+}
+```
+
+This will instruct Nginx to forward requests to `example.org/metrics` to the separate Prometheus server running on port 9464.
 
 ## Enabling basic authentication
 
-You can enable basic authentication for the metrics endpoint. On the GoToSocial, side you'll need the following configuration:
+Although there is no sensitive data contained in the OTEL runtime statistics exported by Prometheus, you may nevertheless wish to gate access to the `/metrics` endpoint behind some kind of authentication, to prevent every Tom, Dick, and Harry from looking at your runtime stats.
 
-```yaml
+You can do this by configuring your reverse proxy to require basic authentication for access to `/metrics`.
-metrics-auth-enabled: true
+
-metrics-auth-username: some_username
+In Nginx, for example, you could do this by creating an `htpasswd` file alongside your site in the `sites-available` directory of Nginx, and instructing Nginx to use that file to gate access.
-metrics-auth-password: some_password
+
+Assuming you followed the [guide for setting up Nginx as your reverse proxy](../getting_started/reverse_proxy/nginx.md), you will already have a file for your Nginx service definition at `/etc/nginx/sites-available/example.org`, where `example.org` is the hostname of your instance.
+
+You can create an `htpasswd` file alongside this file using the following command:
+
+```bash
+htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.org.htpasswd username
 ```
 
-You can scrape that endpoint with a Prometheus instance using the following configuration in your `scrape_configs`:
+In the command, be sure to replace `example.org` with your hostname, and `username` with whatever username you want to use.
+
+Now, edit `/etc/nginx/sites-available/example.org` and update your `/metrics` stanza to use the `httpasswd` file. After editing it should look something like this:
+
+```nginx
+location /metrics {
+  proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9464;
+  auth_basic           "Metrics";
+  auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.org.htpasswd;
+}
+```
+
+Again, replace `example.org` in that snippet with your instance hostname.
+
+When you're finished editing, reload + restart Nginx, and you should see a basic authentication prompt when visiting the `/metrics` endpoint of your instance in your browser.

+# Replicating SQLite
+
+Next to your regular [backup methods](../admin/backup_and_restore.md), you might want to set up replication for disaster recovery to another path or external host.
+
+For this to work properly, SQLite needs the journal mode to be configured in `WAL` mode, with synchronous mode set to `NORMAL`. This is the default configuration for GoToSocial.
+
+You can check your settings in the configuration file. The journal mode is set in `db-sqlite-journal-mode` and the synchronous mode in `db-sqlite-synchronous`.
+
+## Litestream on Linux
+
+A relatively light, and fast way to set up replication with SQLite is by using [Litestream](https://litestream.io). It can be configured very easily and supports different backends like file based replication, S3 compatible storage and many other setups.
+
+You can then install the prebuilt package by either the deb file on Linux, or building it from source on other distributions.
+
+Using a .deb package on Linux:
+
+Navigate to the [releases page](https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/releases/latest), and download the latest release (make sure to select the appropiate platform for the wget command below).
+
+
+```bash
+wget https://github.com/benbjohnson/litestream/releases/download/v0.3.13/litestream-v0.3.13-linux-amd64.deb
+sudo dpkg -i litestream-*.deb
+```
+
+## Configuring Litestream
+
+Configuration is done by editing the configuration file. It's located in /etc/litestream.yml.
+
+### Configuring file based replication
+
+```yaml
+dbs:
+    - path: /gotosocial/sqlite.db
+      - path: /backup/sqlite.db
+```
+
+### Configuring S3 based replication
+
+Set up a bucket for replication, and make sure to set it to be private.
+Make sure to replace the example `access-key-id` and `secret-access-key` with the proper values from your dashboard.
+
+```yaml
+access-key-id: AKIAJSIE27KKMHXI3BJQ
+secret-access-key: 5bEYu26084qjSFyclM/f2pz4gviSfoOg+mFwBH39
+
+dbs:
+    - path: /gotosocial/sqlite.db
+      - url: s3://my.bucket.com/db
+
+```
+
+When using a S3 compatible storage provider you will need to set an endpoint.
+For example for minio this can be done with the following configuration.
+
+```yaml
+access-key-id: miniouser
+secret-access-key: miniopassword
+
+dbs:
+    - path: /gotosocial/sqlite.db
+      - type: s3
+	    bucket: mybucket
+		path: sqlite.db
+		endpoint: minio:9000
+```
+
+## Enabling replication
+
+You can enable replication on Linux by enabling the Litestream service.
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl enable litestream
+sudo systemctl start litestream
+```
+
+Check if it's running properly using `sudo journalctl -u litestream -f`.
+
+If you need to change the configuration file, restart Litestream:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart litestream
+```
+
+### Recovering from the configured backend
+
+You can pull down a recovery file from the stored backend with the following simple command.
+
+```bash
+sudo litestream restore
+```
+
+If you have configured multiple files to be backupped, or have multiple replicas, specify what you want to do.
+
+For filebased replication:
+
+```bash
+sudo litestream restore -o /gotosocial/sqlite.db /backup/sqlite.db
+```
+
+For s3 based replication:
+
+```bash
+sudo litestream restore -o /gotosocial/sqlite.db s3://bucketname/db
+```

+# SQLite on networked storage
+
+SQLite's operating model assumes the database and the processes or applications using it are colocated on the same host. When running the database in WAL-mode, which is GoToSocial's default, it relies on shared memory between processes to ensure the integrity of your database.
+
+!!! quote
+    All processes using a database must be on the same host computer; WAL does not work over a network filesystem. This is because WAL requires all processes to share a small amount of memory and processes on separate host machines obviously cannot share memory with each other. 
+
+    — SQLite.org [Write-Ahead Logging](https://www.sqlite.org/wal.html)
+
+This also means that any other processes accessing the database need to run in the same namespace or container context.
+
+It is in theory possible to run SQLite over Samba, NFS, iSCSI or other forms of filesystems accessed over the network. But it is neither recommended nor supported by the SQLite maintainers, irrespective of whether you're running with write-ahead logging or not. Doing so puts you at risk of database corruption. There is a long history of networked storage having synchronisation issues in their locking primitives, or implementing them with weaker guarantees than what a local filesystem can provide.
+
+Your cloud provider's external volumes, like Hetzner Cloud Volumes, AWS EBS, GCP Persistent Disk etc. may also cause problems, and add variable latency. This has a tendency to severely degrade SQLite's performance.
+
+If you're going to access your database over the network, it's better to use a database with a client-server architecture. GoToSocial supports Postgres for such use-cases.
+
+For the purpose of having a copy of the SQLite database on durable long-term storage, refer to [SQLite streaming replication](replicating-sqlite.md) instead. Remember that neither replication nor using a networked filesystem are a substitute [for having backups](../admin/backup_and_restore.md).

 ## Final notes
-Thereafter, whenever you make an api call, say to query your notifications, add a Header to your request `Authorization:Bearer your_brand_new_token` like this:
-```bash
-curl --request GET \
-  --url https://your.instance.url/api/v1/notifications \
-  --header 'Authorization: Bearer your_brand_new_token' \
-```
 
+Now that you have an access token, you can reuse that token in every API request for authorization. You do not need to do the entire token exchange dance every time!
+
+For example, you can issue another `GET` request to the API using the same access token to get your notifications, as follows:
+
+```bash
+curl \
+  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
+  'https://example.org/api/v1/notifications'

 ### My rate limit keeps being exceeded! Why?
 
-If you find that your rate limit is regularly being exceeded (both for yourself and other callers) during normal use of your instance, it may be that GoToSocial can't tell the clients apart by IP address. You can investigate this by viewing the logs of your instance. If (almost) all logged IP addresses appear to be the same IP address (something like `172.x.x.x`), then the rate limiting will cause problems.
+If you find that your rate limit is regularly being exceeded (both for yourself and other callers) during normal use of your instance, it may be that GoToSocial can't tell the clients apart by IP address. You can investigate this by viewing the logs of your instance. If (almost) all logged client IP addresses appear to be the same IP address (something like `172.x.x.x`), then the rate limiting will cause problems.
 
 This happens when your server is running inside NAT (port forwarding), or behind an HTTP proxy without the correct configuration, causing your instance to see all incoming IP addresses as the same address: namely, the IP address of your reverse proxy or gateway. This means that all incoming requests are *sharing the same rate limit*, rather than being split correctly per IP.
 
-If you are using an HTTP proxy then it's likely that your `trusted-proxies` is not correctly configured. If this is the case, try adding the IP address of your reverse proxy to the list of `trusted-proxies`, and restarting your instance.
+If you are using an HTTP proxy then it's likely that your `trusted-proxies` is not correctly configured. See the [trusted-proxies](../configuration/trusted_proxies.md) documentation for more info on how to resolve this.
 
 If you don't have an HTTP proxy, then it's likely caused by NAT. In this case you should disable rate limiting altogether.
