This guide covers running a Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) on macOS using Docker Desktop and Cloudflare Tunnel for public access.
The standard PDS distribution targets Linux VPS deployments. This setup adapts it for macOS with:
~/pds data directory instead of /pds
What is Casbah? Why are we making this? What is our mission?
Casbah is a hyperculture: an archipelago of centerless cultures, each independent and immortal, on one technical platform. Casbah is not a social network. Casbah is a permissionless network of mutually noninterfering social networks.
Every Casbah culture is its own decentralized network on top of
It's important not to ignore the power of the Azimuth layer alone. Azimuth gives us 4 billion secure, convenient, transferable, cryptographically self-sovereign network endpoints.
Once two computers have secure names and secure keys, it's almost impossible to keep them from exchanging packets. Once names are scarce, it's straightforward to block undesired traffic. Azimuth is a natural foundation for any network which wants private
