With the help of other users here I have finally been able to get a PieFed instance up and running! I am running 1.5.3 (Docker install) and I've run into one small problem...trying to manually purge deleted posts always redirects to a page indicating that an error has occurred, the post is not purged. I am not sure how I would go about debugging this, but I will certainly provide any additional information that one might need. I appreciate all the help, the best part about the fediverse for me has to be the community! ๐
Edit: included screenshot of error page.
I very much appreciate that a fix for this has been provided even before the official patch has been released, which I understand will be in a week or so with the release of 1.6. That's great news! In the meantime the deleted posts that I was having trouble purging seem to be gone. ๐
Looking forward to 1.6!
As an addendum, I did actually try creating and deleting some posts to give things a test run, looks like everything is working just fine ๐ I expect the patch will do the trick!
