@douginamug Yes, you can self-host a #SolidProject server, including directly from your device

e.g. You can Community Solid Server locally or with a production setup:

https://github.com/mrkvon/css-setup

There's also an experimental desktop app: https://github.com/SolidOS/data-kitchen

Some apps are local first or have caching, so the pod doesn't need to be always accessible

Wohoo! Hello world Solid!
Just deployed my own pod ☺️🚀
#LDP #SolidProject #LinkedWebStorage

My experimental #ActivityPub #SolidProject agent now listens to POSTs to a list of inboxes and outboxes and processes activities asynchronously as they arrive.

Next I plan to dynamically define the inboxes and outboxes.

The agent would be given access to a config, subscribe to the listed topics and connect them to the appropriate handler.
It would also set the public key on the named actor. e.g.

:myactor_inbox a :WebHookRegistration;
:topic </inbox/>;
:handler :InboxModified;
:actor </actor>.

I've proposed two possible outlines for a document about #SolidProject #Activitypub integration

https://github.com/solid-contrib/activitypub-interop/issues/2#issuecomment-3590595603

The first is more note/tutorial/primer like, because a large part of the content is just redescribing ActivityPub for a Solid audience.

The second assumes prior knowledge of ActivityPub and primarily describes what is needed to integrate ActivityPub with Solid, based on three architectures:

- Server support
- External processing
- External endpoints

The web we know is efficient—but fragile. Power and innovation have drifted away from users and into platforms. A new generation of open architectures—ActivityPub, Solid, and beyond—offers a way to take control back.
