is it possible to run pixelfed on a domain that already runs mastodon? - Lemmy.World
lemmy.world
I can install and run pixelfed on a subdomain, for example, pixelfed.example.com [http://pixelfed.example.com]. However, I also run mastodon.example.com [http://mastodon.example.com]. My webfinger points at mastodon. How do I configure a webfinger for both pixelfed and mastodon? How do you all have your webfingers setup when you run multiple activitypub-based services?

    If a service was serving the webfinger, it could guess which account needed to be returned based on the requesters user agent. If the UA was mastodon, it could return the mastodon link rel, if pixelfed then return that link rel, etc.

    Might be able to rig it with some more complex conditional logic and regex in nginx as a bandaid. AFAICT, the webfinger spec doesn’t really allow for this, which if true, was pretty short sighted.

    I haven’t considered more in depth S2S connections. I’ll have to watch the traffic logs and see what exactly is being requested and see if all of it can be directed accordingly. I see now you commented on that issue. Also, to be clear, I’m still running the services in subdomains, but I’m trying to use user@domain.tld as the discovery account.
