App\Jobs\InboxPipeline\InboxValidator: ErrorException: Trying to get property 'private_key' of non-object

[mnowiasz]

I've noticed a problem with activity pub - there are failed jobs in Horizion containing:

ErrorException:  Trying to get property 'private_key' of non-object in  /var/www/pixelfed.netzgemeinde.eu/htdocs/pixelfed/app/Util/ActivityPub/HttpSignature.php:40

I've set:

ACTIVITY_PUB=true
AP_REMOTE_FOLLOW=true
AP_INBOX=true

Any idea what's wrong here?

Same issue here, fresh install of 0.10.10.

ACTIVITY_PUB=true

AP_REMOTE_FOLLOW=true

AP_OUTBOX=true

AP_INBOX=true

AP_LOGGER_ENABLED=true

INSTANCE_DISCOVER_PUBLIC=true

Due to this bug Activity Pub is not working at all - when trying to add the channel from another instance (in this case, hubzilla) via activitiy pub there's no feed at all.

Oh, and FediLab - the Android App - doesn't work too, something about a API and long response.

PHP is 7.3.26, DB is postgres (13.1)

I too am getting this as well. Fresh install of 0.10.1 (Debian 10 with PHP 7.3 with MariaDB)

Due to this bug Activity Pub is not working at all

Could activity pub not work because of this FederationController.php https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/2617

Same here with staging branch.

have you tried to execute the command php artisan instance:actor ?

[dallasgroot]

I have done this already

That seems to do the trick. Well, I haven't upgraded I've installed a new instance by using the documentation: https://docs.pixelfed.org/running-pixelfed/installation.html - and there was nothing about running php artisan instance:actor. To be honest, I'm a little bit puzzled: Am I really supposted to read all release notes when installing a new instance?

Additional information: After running this command on my freshly installed instance activity pub is now working.
