From 438ad0d3f9fa354b4b59825d7dcfc48ee2fd7e0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilja Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2021 06:09:31 +0000 Subject: Make the OPT recomendation clearer AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but * People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro * People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP) --- docs/installation/otp_vs_from_source.include | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/installation/otp_vs_from_source.include (limited to 'docs/installation/otp_vs_from_source.include') diff --git a/docs/installation/otp_vs_from_source.include b/docs/installation/otp_vs_from_source.include new file mode 100644 index 000000000..63e837a53 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/installation/otp_vs_from_source.include @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +## OTP releases vs from-source installations + +There are two ways to install Pleroma. You can use OTP releases or do a from-source installation. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it, it is easily administered via the provided shell script to open up a remote console, start/stop/restart the release, start in the background, send remote commands, and more. With from source installations you install Pleroma from source, meaning you have to install certain dependencies like Erlang+Elixir and compile Pleroma yourself. -- cgit v1.2.3
