DebianSocial service notes for writefreely.debian.social
Description
?WriteFreely is free and open source software for starting a minimalist, federated blog — or an entire community.
It's very barebones, ?WriteFreely doesn't send e-emails, and it comes with a basic editor that doesn't support images. The idea is to have a basic blog platform that focusses on writing.
Authentication
Sign-up is closed at this stage. It doesn't support OAuth or any other authentication types.
Moderation
?WriteFreely currently only supports a single administrator. Paddatrapper (Kyle) is the current administrator.
Users are created by connecting to the server and running the following commands:
cd /srv/writefreely ./writefreely --create-user username:password
Syndication
Append /feed to your blog URL to get a feed that can be added to planet or an RSS reader.
