atproto pds self-hosting: some issues and antipatterns | friendmeat
The Bluesky personal data server (pds) repository is weirdly opinionated about stuff that's easy, and unhelpful with the stuff that's hard.

It's just weird and annoying. But here's how I did it.

The week-end is over so I'm pressing ⏸️ on my custom PDS project for now. Here's part 2 of my dev journal. I've learned a lot already and so far I feel like it might actually be worth finishing. It's really cool to get a more intimate understanding of ATProtocol and it's implementation.
