KeyDB

As described on the KeyDB documentation page, if you're hosting additional services which require KeyDB on the same server, you'd better go for installing a separate KeyDB instance for each service. See Creating a KeyDB instance dedicated to funkwhale.

If you're only running funkwhale on this server and don't need to use KeyDB for anything else, you can use a single KeyDB instance.

Using the shared KeyDB instance for funkwhale

To install a single (non-dedicated) KeyDB instance (mash-keydb) and hook funkwhale to it, add the following additional configuration:

This will create a mash-keydb KeyDB instance on this host.

This is only recommended if you won't be installing other services which require KeyDB. Alternatively, go for Creating a KeyDB instance dedicated to funkwhale.

Creating a KeyDB instance dedicated to funkwhale

The following instructions are based on the Running multiple instances of the same service on the same host documentation.

Adjust your inventory/hosts file as described in Re-do your inventory to add supplementary hosts, adding a new supplementary host (e.g. if funkwhale.example.com is your main one, create funkwhale.example.com-deps).

Then, create a new vars.yml file for the

inventory/host_vars/funkwhale.example.com-deps/vars.yml:

This will create a mash-funkwhale-keydb instance on this host with its data in /mash/funkwhale-keydb.

Then, adjust your main inventory host's variables file (inventory/host_vars/funkwhale.example.com/vars.yml) like this:

Installation

If you've decided to install a dedicated KeyDB instance for funkwhale, make sure to first do installation for the supplementary inventory host (e.g. funkwhale.example.com-deps), before running installation for the main one (e.g. funkwhale.example.com).

Usage

After installation, you can go to the funkwhale URL, as defined in funkwhale_hostname. To login and get started you first have to create a user. you can do this with

just run-tags funkwhale-add-superuser --extra-vars=username=USERNAME --extra-vars=password=PASSWORD --extra-vars=email=EMAIL

All other users can be created in the Web GUI.
