When my Mastodon instance was down I took another shot at Friendica. Here are my thoughts about it.

    @eshep @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom @anders Interesting, I didn’t know about daemon. Can you share how you have it configured? I set my server some years ago, I think it didn’t have this option back then but I’d like to try.

      You start the Daemon with this command: cd /var/www/html && php bin/daemon.php start

      If you don’t have your Friendica installation in /var/www/html, change it to the proper location. You can run the command at system boot.

        @eshep @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom @anders Thanks, I’ll try this and see how it compares with cron!

          Alright. Good luck 😃 feel free to ask if needed :)

            @eshep @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom @anders Thanks for the advice to switch to daemon - now it doesn’t have delays before sending posts and comments.

            Now it works even better :)

              You’re welcome! Great to hear that :) I wonder why Cron job is the recommended method by Friendica. When I saw that in the installation guide I was like “naah I’ll stick with the “non-recommended” method” 😃

                @eshep @serenity @f00fc7c8 @rom @anders I wonder as well. Maybe Cron is considered more reliable as it starts new process every few minutes and if it fails for some reason it will be restarted automatically. Daemon requires more configuration.

                  @serenity @rom @eshep @f00fc7c8 @shuro yeah maybe.
                  I have it in a docker container with “restart: always” so if it crashes then it will just restart.

        @fediverse @rom @eshep @f00fc7c8 @shuro

        I assume that you don’t run it through Docker since you mentioned Cronjobs. Let me know if my assumption is wrong because then I can give some extra suggestions for that as well.
