Mobilizon

Mobilizon is a federated events and groups platform, an ActivityPub alternative to Facebook Events and Meetup.

Dependencies

• PostgreSQL - Database for storing events, groups, and accounts
• SMTP - For account verification and event notifications

Configuration

Key settings in config.yaml:

• domain - Where Mobilizon will be accessible
• storage - Persistent volume size (default: 2Gi)
• instanceName - Display name for the instance (default: Mobilizon)
• instanceEmail - Contact email shown on the instance (defaults to your operator email)
• smtp - Email settings inherited from your Wild Cloud SMTP service

First-Time Setup

1. Add and deploy the app:

   wild app add mobilizon
   wild app deploy mobilizon
   

2. Create the admin user via the Elixir console:

   kubectl exec -n mobilizon deploy/mobilizon -- ./bin/mobilizon_web eval \
     "Mobilizon.CLI.create_admin(\"Your Name\", \"admin@example.com\", \"yourpassword\")"
   

3. Visit the app URL and log in with the credentials you just created.

Notes

• Mobilizon is federated via ActivityPub — events and groups are discoverable by Mastodon users and other Mobilizon instances
• The secretKeyBase and secretKey are auto-generated in secrets.yaml
• After logging in, complete the instance configuration under Admin → Settings (instance description, terms of service, etc.)
