Instafed Relayer ISO: A Personal Draft Concept for Refinement, Elaboration and Critique

Figuratively speaking; I was thinking about this earlier:

“I wonder if any1 has done a podman 1drop iso one could just install live and get instafed+matrix”

Disposable. Thoughts? Anyone seen anything like this?

So my thinking here is:

  • I’m stuck on a proprietary platform
  • I want to bridge or migrate for personal uses
  • I run a single podman command (or comparable) from CLI
  • I get a semi-persistent container, which is ready to go (see gomuks)
  • MIGHT provide a curses terminal type of access OR a simple GUI
  • MIGHT provide access to a selection from a group of conformant instance providers
  • MIGHT provide #tags search
  • MIGHT be isolated in a virtualization environment
  • MIGHT align with a “world of institutions” model

This provides:

  • Matrix + Fedi access.

Potential problems:

  • Spam, abuse vectors, scraping

Refinement:

  • “minimal linux kernel” >> what’s the least amount of (reliable) code which might enable this? >> lisp?

Your input.

this endpoint is fluffy and might be redacted as situation dictates
