OK, we were able to figure out how to work logrotate

As far as time, how many days should we keep in the logs? 1 week? 1 month? Other? I know that there might be ideal, but there is reality for space constraints. Thanks for suggestions.

WE also need a size factor, since after about 3 months, I have 14GB of logs.

Thanks

Groups - how to make - how to promote - how do they work

!Friendica Support

I was looking over the list of available groups in Friendica.

I'd be interested in creating 1 or 2 myself.

I found a doc page showing how t make one:
wiki.friendi.ca/docs/groups-an…

But, in my current friendica account, the create button is not there. Why?

I will have my own friendica node installed soon. Will this allow me to do other things?

Can I just create one in my friendica account, or is this an admin only ability?

Once created, how are the promoted/distributed through out the fediverse? There seems to be a listing of groups on the friendica directory list:
dir.friendica.social/group?pag…


Thanks

@Joseph Hogan the Wiki entry is for Circles, but what you mean is a Froum and the entry for that is this one wiki.friendi.ca/docs/forums.

There are two ways to create a forum.

you click on the plus sign as in the picture (but this only works if the admin of the instance allows multiple registrations.

or

you register a second account and user account - advanced account/page type you select community group

tagging of flagging a thread for future reading?

@Friendica Support

I was wondering if there is a way to tag/flag/mark a conversation so that we can keep it for later use, or archive it for "permanent" reading?

The flow of messages can be high, so t avoid losing a conversation, how can we "save" them?

Thanks for ideas

Friendica install/configuration question

@Friendica Admins
Hello,

A couple years ago, I had a running friendica node. After an upgrade, it stopped working.

I am back to try again:)

I have 2 questions for the moment to get things going:
1 - Can I use the same domain and user name as my old friendica server as I did back then? I recall someone saying that their might be issues because the new server would not have the same "signature" or some identifying thing(a node number maybe). Is this true?
2 - I also recall that by default, that some kind of data is stored by a publicly visible location, and you need to point the data storage location to a folder outside the visible folder. I did that before. Is if still this way by default?
3 - Because the data was regularly changing(because it was inflowing message form the social media feeds), it tended to take up a lot of space. My old back ups of my system were 15GBs. I wan to move the data off my friendica server, and put it on my NAS. The idea was to redirect the folder location to a folder on my NAS. It is just a cable/switch/cable away, so it is a local server being used for it) Will this cause any issues for friendica? Will the delay between the friendica server and the NAS cause issues of their own?

Thanks for any and all assistance. I want to do this a better than last time:)
