Just published a repo that's doing nightly builds for several spaces-enabled PDSes. It's mostly for @happyview.dev testing, but I figured some others may get some use out of it as well. Lemme know if there are any other PDS implementation I should add! #atproto

Atproto spaces alpha updates
Hey folks, we just launched the atproto spaces alpha. Check out the blog post for more details! Over the following weeks, we’ll be iterating on the specification and the implementation. In all likelihood, this will involve breaking changes to the PDS distribution, the Bluesky-hosted alpha PDS, and the alpha SDKs. To minimize disruption, we’ll plan to do releases on Thursdays (barring something critical that requires more immediate attention). When we do a release, We’ll make a post to this thr...
What is required to make a PDS implementation?
This Github thread from July 2024 had a long answer by Bryan Newbold that is included below:
PDS operator guide — atproto-crates
Operating atproto-pds: production status, endpoint surface, storage profiles, build flags, the full environment variable reference, and the deployment modes that are deliberately not wired up.

Lots of awesome OS for the PDS posts flying around today, but what about a PDS in the OS? Here's a peek at the native Linux rewrite of @aetheros.computer, built on NixOS with PDS backed user accounts and experimental support for spaces. Still WIP, but stay tuned for more info later this year...
You know what I want: a "headless" PDS. @roomy.space needs a way to create an ATProto account for every space that is created. That means we need a legit PDS repo. We don't want to implement a PDS ourselves, so we'd rather use Tranquil or the reference PDS.

@trezy.codes shared how HappyView detects PDS spaces support — checking community.lexicon.service.describe first, with a fallback for PDSes without it yet. The question: what would a better detection standard look like? discourse.atmosphere.community/t/detecting-spaces-support/12…
Did a quick write up on the work I've been enjoying to make a PDS distributed. #atproto
