Adding information about yourself on the Pubnix

From Project Segfault Wiki

To add information about yourself, that can be displayed in the /pubnix/users page, you need to edit the meta-info.toml file in your home directory.

# open nano or your preferred text editor
nano ~/meta-info.toml

# edit the file as noted in the syntax section and exit
# (Ctrl+O then Enter to save and Ctrl+X to exit in nano while
# Escape then type ":wq" and hit Enter in Vim)

The information can also be accessed in JSON format at https://publapi.p.projectsegfau.lt/users. Keep in mind that it takes a few seconds for the text to refresh due to caching.

Syntax

All fields must be formatted as literal fields.

  • fullname - Self-explanatory, although if you're not comfortable using your real name due to legal or privacy reasons, you can use a name you go by online or left blank.
  • gemini - Defaulting to your gemini webspace in the pubnix, although if you do hosted your gemini website on others (including sourcehut pages) you can just replace it
  • website - Defaulting to the default pubnix web URL, but if you're hosting your website somewhere else, just point into it.
  • description - Blank by default, plaintext text-only bio of yourself.
  • email - Blank by default, but if you're comfortable sharing your email address you can fill in.
  • matrix - Blank by default, but if your main Matrix homeserver is in the Project Segfault's servers (via the pubnix Authentik SSO) it should be formatted as @user:projectsegfau.lt.
  • fediverse - Defaulting to blank, the profile URL of your fediverse profile minus the protocol specifier.
  • location - PLEASE DO NOT LEAK YOUR FULL ADDRESS! Defaulting to blank, the location where you're currently residing (in form of City, Province/State, Country)
