How it works
For diaspora* podmins
Keep your pod, your people and your domain. Open them to the whole fediverse.
Migrate in place
Disbigle can take over a diaspora* pod on the same domain. Handles, RSA keys and GUIDs stay the same, so remote contacts do not notice the change.
And from the first start, every account is also followable from Mastodon.
What gets imported
- Users and profiles
- Private keys and GUIDs
- Contacts and aspects
- Posts and photos
- Comments, likes and polls
- Private conversations
- Passwords: bcrypt hashes upgraded at first login
- Old URLs redirected
How it goes
Read-only
Put the pod in read-only mode and make a backup.
Import
The importer reads the diaspora* database, PostgreSQL or MySQL.
Switch
Point the domain to Disbigle. Files stay where they are.
Welcome back
Users sign in with their old password.
Status
The importer is written and tested on fixtures. The first real migration will be diaspo.it, the Italian pod. Want to be next? Write to [email protected].
