Protobase is back online. The PHP fix is installed, and running normally. Thanks for your patience this morning!

Same for us, we expect to be back around 8:00 AM PT.

Offprint@offprint.app

Offprint is offline for some precautionary maintenance. We expect to be back around 8:00 AM PT.

A security issue was found in PHP, the language Protobase is built with. It affects many sites across the web, not Protobase in particular. We’re keeping the site offline until the fix is out and installed, rather than running unpatched in the meantime.

This is a really nice project, commoditizing atmospheric hosting and making it easier to get set up for communities and organisations 🎉

If you run into issues, DM @aka.dad or send a message via signal (signal link in his bio). Please report any and all issues, big and small. This is a private beta, you can talk about it all you want, share stuff online, but I'd prefer if you came to me about issues first.

Keep in mind, it's still early and you will be helping shape the full featured launch. Thanks for the support and I can't wait to see how truly broken of a state I'm shipping this in.

tomorrow, after work, @protobase.at. i'll be inviting a couple lucky peeps, you'll have full access, i just ask you do pds provisioning and onboarding, see if theres any hiccups along the way and message me on signal if you find issues. big or small. whos up for it? let me see hands. 🙋🏽‍♂️

The amount of work I put in to just have a nice way to host an @offprint.app branded PDS is crazy. It's almost ready for you all to start breaking it in private beta. But you've all been waiting patiently, mostly... So heres a peek at the server provisioning flow.

Good question, it entirely depends on the target audience of your project. If you’re creating a tool for atproto users, you probably don’t need to host a PDS. If you’re building an app that just so happens to be on atproto, but may be used by anyone. You might want a branded PDS.

R. Alex Anderson@ralexanderson.com

At what point does it make sense to run a PDS for your users alongside your app, like what @npmx.dev or @tangled.org does? Is the Bluesky reference PDS still the best place to start?

@protobase.at question: when a pds is being sunset, how should we handle accounts? 1. just full send, delete all users, blobs and server 2. make pds to readonly, notify users to give migration grace period, then delete server 3. figure out way to migrate users to a public, open protobase hosted pds

working on @protobase.at gave me a little wishlist. none of it is hosting policy, just stuff that'd help anyone running more than a handful of accounts. 3 things i'd add, all filed as issues [🧵/5]

Good question! So we are looking into ways of implementing some moderation services that integrate with moderation labelers like Skywatch to help detect, and takedown accounts. These tools will be tunable by admins. Also…

Hey @protobase.at, one thing I’m a little nervous about with per-account billing is spammer accounts. What kind of protection do you think you’ll provide? (Both in terms of preventing ecosystem spam & wasted fees)

Protobase
@protobase.at

Also provide ways to use captcha services on account creation. Not full proof, but will help keep things safer Plus we will only be counting *active* accounts towards your billing/limits. Deleted and banned accounts will be ignored Also you’ll only be charged for overages, based on your tier.

Finished up the landing page for those curious to learn more about Protobase and it's offerings. Added a waitlist, give any suggestions or ask any questions if things aren't clear enough. Pricing is not set in stone, but it will start at $19/mo for 100 accounts. 📮 Join the waitlist → protobase.at

it's coming sooner, rather than later. follow along. protobase is a b2b pds saas, going to make it possible for application developers to easily spin up a pds in minutes

dad (aka miguel)@aka.dad

pds as a service almost ready. federation working, account creation working, just need to test custom domains next (probably the most important part) the site is not ready, it'll just 404 if you try to access it. but follow @protobase.at to keep up now that it's really happening

You are up to date.
