<![CDATA[Fediverse Relay server updated]]>I’ve updated the relay server back end to properly support wordpress clients pushing content to the relay. If you have a server you wouldn’t mind pointing at the relay, I’d love to get some more sites on it to test it out.

The address is: https://relay.argentwolf.org

If you have any issues, please let me know at alan@friendica.argentwolf.org thanks!

If you are interested in trying the server out, you can get it here. Version 2.4.0 is in testing and will be released soon!

I'm curious to see what your Accept looks like <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://activitypub.space/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f937.png?v=c7cc56fe415" title="🤷" /> but I guess if it's failing signature validation then it's not even getting to that part.

Log's pretty vague, but maybe that helps. I'll try to find another relay running ActivityRelay to test. Might be an incompatibility with that style entirely, who knows.

Last attempt was 23:06 EDT or so

Once you try again, please let me know!

Thanks for the message! I’m looking into the issue now. Could you share which URL you attempted to connect with? I see traffic from your domain to wolfandraven.blog, but not to relay.argentwolf.org.

If you could try again and let me know the below info, it would be helpful:

URL: https://relay.argentwolf.org/actor
NodeBB domain and version
Any error you get from the federation page
Whether the relay entry fails immediately or remains pending

Thank you!

Regressions do occur so most likely it's on my end.

There is no integrated web server, but instructions for nginx and apache are provided.

Once testing is complete, I expect to push rc5 to final tomorrow.

I'm assuming it's easy to remove the frontend page you added?

I’ve previously submitted a PR to the original at yukimochi/Activity-Relay. Since then my version has diverged quite a bit – I’ve added Friendica support – which was missing in the original, open publisher/Wordpress Activity Pub handling, and a built in public facing website. I’ve also updated the docker file and added Debian packages. It’s been almost a year since the last activity in the original repo. I plan to continue to maintain this fork. All of the changes I’ve made are public, and the original maintainer or others are welcome to incorporate them if they wish.
