Initial simple way to Webfinger enable your domain -- needs PHP.
|
|
================================================================
|
|
|
|
Step 1
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Put the 'dot-well-known' on your website, so it loads at:
|
|
|
|
https://example.com/.well-known/
|
|
|
|
(Remember the . at the beginning of this one, which is common practice
|
|
for "hidden" files and why we have renamed it "dot-")
|
|
|
|
Step 2
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Edit the .well-known/host-meta file and replace "example.com" with the
|
|
domain name you're hosting the .well-known directory on.
|
|
|
|
Using vim you can do this as a quick method:
|
|
$ vim .well-known/host-meta [ENTER]
|
|
:%s/example.com/domain.com/ [ENTER]
|
|
:wq [ENTER]
|
|
|
|
Step 3
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
For each user on your site, and this might only be you...
|
|
|
|
In the webfinger directory, make a copy of the example@example.com.xml file
|
|
so that it's called (replace username and example.com with appropriate
|
|
values, the domain name should be the same as you're "socialifying"):
|
|
|
|
username@example.com.xml
|
|
|
|
Then edit the file contents, replacing "social.example.com" with your
|
|
GNU social instance's base path, and change the user ID number (and
|
|
nickname for the FOAF link) to that of your account on your social
|
|
site. If you don't know your user ID number, you can see this on your
|
|
GNU social profile page by looking at the destination URLs in the
|
|
Feeds links.
|
|
|
|
PROTIP: You can get the bulk of the contents (note the <Subject> element though)
|
|
from curling down your real webfinger data:
|
|
$ curl https://social.example.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:username@social.example.com
|
|
|
|
Finally
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Using this method, though fiddly, you can now be @user@domain without
|
|
the need for any prefixes for subdomains, etc.
