fetching issues

[lucyferu]

Describe the bug

i encountering fetching issues that dont seem to happen on gts server not installed thought ynh. the issues are:

• random post fetching issues (error 500)
• inability to "steal" or upload custom emojis on my instance
• other instance (and also some clients like phanpy) cannot fetch the avatar of the accounts on my instance

Context

• Hardware: VPS bought online
• YunoHost version: 11.1.20
• I have access to my server: Through SSH | through the webadmin
• Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance?: no
• Using, or trying to install package version/branch: 0.8.1~ynh1

Steps to reproduce

try to fetch toots and/or accounts from links (with some it works) and/or try to add custom emojis in any of the available ways.

Expected behavior

being able to fetch toots, accounts and add custom emoji.

Logs

the log is from a couple of weeks ago because it's when i reported it to gts and found out it must be a ynh issue.

hi!

for now, I've tested the emoji stealing feature, manual upload of emojis, and the avatar retrieval from a third-party instance, and all work fine

was another instance of any federated software (gotosocial, mastodon, pleroma, etc) on the same domain name before your current instance? are you sure you are entering a link to a public (unrestricted) post to get emojis?

and can you provide me with the link to the issue opened on the upstream repository?

i dont think so. maybe, ive tried to install gts more than once? but i feel i also believing this because im doubting my memory after the question. 🙃

are you sure you are entering a link to a public (unrestricted) post to get emojis?

i know i did that mistake, but ive tried public posts too. also, sometimes i cant fetch entire people's account. open account, without follow request.

and can you provide me with the link to the issue opened on the upstream repository?

it was just a question on the matrix channel.

[OniriCorpe]

if you install a fedi software, during the federation it will share authentication keys and if you put another software on the exact same domain name (or sub-domain), the other servers that had federated with the other instance will refuse to federate with the new instance because the keys will not match

I don't know if this is the case for you, but it's a plausible hypothesis

in any case, I don't have enough knowledge to debug this :/ especially since I don't reproduce these errors at all with my 2 GTS instances (test and personal instances) hosted on my YNH server

can you update to version 0.9.0 which is now available and tell me if these problems are still there?

[lucyferu]

as soon as i updated all the emoji showed up! yayyyy!! 🥳

no idea what happened, but everything seems fine now.

thank you very much for the support.
