Allow switching to different frontends

[muppeth]

I noticed that when using Mangane you can't use other frontends such as pleroma-fe, or mastodon-fe. When on pleroma-fe you can use /web endpoint to swtich. I dont know if this is mangane related issue or it needs to be changed on akkoma (so please let me know), It would be fantastic to be able to switch frontends within Mangane's side bar.

Good point. Do you have a screenshot of that /web endpoint you are speaking of ? :)

[muppeth]

it's mastodon-fe. https://akkoma.dev/AkkomaGang/masto-fe I think it's working to some extend with manfane as primary frontend though i need to check a bit more. I should create a feature request on akkoma to perhaps be more flexible when it comes to frontends and instead of tweaking webserver config, have a toggle in user preferences saved in database. In that way users could choose their desired frontend without the need to remember the url of the frontend of their choice.

Indeed, I'm not sure if there is any specs regarding url and how to make various frontends work together. Most of the instances I see offering multiple frontends do it by using multiple subdomain for example mangane.domain.tld.

I'll look into that

Did you achieve to resolve your problem with using subdomains ?

How can I access the default admin-fe frontend when Mangane is the primary frontend?

How can I access the default admin-fe frontend when Mangane is the primary frontend?

Answering my own question - use the pleroma/admin endpoint. However, it fails in my case since the admin user has MFA/2FA enabled which is issue #115

How can I access the default admin-fe frontend when Mangane is the primary frontend?

I believe that's an issue too : if you don't know by heart (or guess) the frontends endpoints, you can't reach them from either any of the frontends.

There should be a link somewhere to reach admin frontend, shouldn't it ?

(And when it will be possible, one to switch frontends)

[Cl0v1s]

There is an ongoing issue about that :) (Don't have the link rn tho, but it's in the next release I believe)

[lapineige]

Is it related to the new Akkoma frontend switcher (which doesn't work with Mangane in my case) ?

[Cl0v1s]

I think it's more an issue with conflicting routes in various frontends

[pablo-abc]

I was just experimenting with Akkoma and Mangane. Got to this issue as well.

One detail that I found is that if I go to '/web' directly on a fresh private tab, the mastodon fe works as expected. But if Mangane has loaded at any moment I suddenly can't reach '/web' anymore.

Leads me to believe it has to do with the service worker caching the routes?

[thomasjwebb]

I'm having this issue too and I think it's a major security issue that an admin has to disable mfa to be able to access the admin-fe.

[Cl0v1s]

I think this lead of the service worker messing with cache is indeed the good one, I will investigate. Sadly I do not encounter those issues myself, so I'll need some help

I'm open to any help regarding those issues
