# Pixelfed
Pixelfed is a federated, self-hosted photo sharing platform — a privacy-respecting alternative to Instagram, compatible with the ActivityPub protocol.
## Dependencies
- **PostgreSQL** - Database for storing posts and accounts
- **Redis** - Used for caching and job queuing
- **SMTP** - For account verification and notifications
## Configuration
Key settings in `config.yaml`:
- **domain** - Where Pixelfed will be accessible
- **storage** - Persistent volume size (default: `2Gi`)
- **db.name** - Database name (default: `pixelfed`)
- **smtp** - Email settings inherited from your Wild Cloud SMTP service
## First-Time Setup
1. Add and deploy the app:
```bash
wild app add pixelfed
wild app deploy pixelfed
```
2. Create the admin user by running an artisan command in the pod:
```bash
kubectl exec -n pixelfed deploy/pixelfed -- php artisan user:create \
--name="Admin" \
--username="admin" \
--email="your@email.com" \
--password="yourpassword" \
--is_admin=1 \
--confirm_email=1
```
3. Visit the app URL and log in with the credentials you just created.
## Notes
- This package uses the `ghcr.io/mattlqx/docker-pixelfed` community image (port 80, nginx) since the official image requires authentication to pull
- Federation with Mastodon and other ActivityPub platforms is enabled by default
- User registration can be set to open, invite-only, or closed via **Admin → Settings**
