Login / signup

OpenTalks authentication service (Keycloak) is connected to our authentication server (Zitadel). Until recently, you had to make sure to use the button below the login form, now it is hidden with CSS. Please remember that your accountname ends with @tchncs.de.

About this instance

Due to the complexity of OpenTalk, this instance derivates off of their official “lite” Docker example. It adds a number of services, trying to reach an as complete as possible experience. As of the time of writing, this is still in progress and a few more restarts are to be expected in order to apply new settings and stuff.

Maintenance window: because it doesn't make sense to restart all the time while you are trying to give it a fair test, I will try to apply new settings only between 5-9pm CET. (see below)

This instance is categorized as “playground mode”. Its purpose is to evaluate whether it is feasable to keep it long-term. This also means that you still are more than welcome to use and test it, because software that is not used by anybody can't be tested/evaluated properly.

Playground mode window: This service will be evaluated until mid of June 2023

Update

The evaluation period has completed. The instance will stay.


Say hi to a new and exciting service at tchncs.de – well – for now. :)

Due to previous mistakes, I have decided to declare testing-periodes for new services, before they will be added to the portfolio long-term. In this case i went with one month, meaning until April 6th '23.

BookWyrm makes a good first impression and was highly voted for in our new survey. You can track, rate, discuss and share books you are reading. It even is possible to link sources of books. All this while being part of the fediverse like Mastodon!

Sounds great? Wonderful:


I have requested an invite but received no email!?

Please give me some time to review requests and send invites. BookWyrm does not send an email until the actual invite. If it takes multiple days, please contact me directly or check your spam. 😇

How final is this setup?

Well it looks fine so far but is fairly fresh and since it is not a simple Docker install, it is possible that there are small mistakes that still need fixing. Note that bookwyrm.social appears to be very slow right now, which causes book imports to fail (if you use this domain as a source. there are more options!).

What if it does not qualify during testing?

In that case, I will give users enough time to look for a new instance and publish an announcement on the instance, as well as on this article.

What if it does qualify?

In that case ... well ... it will just continue running and descriptions will be updated accordingly.
