WordPress multisite in selfhosting: one fail, one success
Starting with the fail: selfhosted site doesn’t associate to the official automattic WordPress mobile app; I’ve (temporarily?) commented the “location xmlrpc.php deny all” rule on /etc/nginx/conf.d/plusbrothers.net’d/wordpress__3.conf
The app correctly generates the “application password” but then returns “impossible to load WordPress site details” (no idea if it’s the correct English word).
SUCCESS:
Ulysses and Drafts, two iPhone/iPad writing apps, successfully publish my texts on WordPress posts, as a draft; I can use those and write what I want. I’ll try to uncomment xmlrpc deny rule again, then retry.
My goal is to write contents on the app, then finalize it on the site.
OTHER SUCCESS:
site works, both with pure “plusbrothers.net” address and physical WordPress location “plusbrothers.net/wp” - applies to /english as well. Before concretely re-posting old contents and writing new ones, I prefer to have a very solid structure.
I have no idea though, about how vulnerable my website is, hostinger vps YunoHost-driven.
It’s been long, long time I didn’t work till late in the night, at the moment I’m writing, it’s 10 minutes to 3 in the morning!
I promised to my best friend (and content writer) that on July 3rd, the walls of our sentient HIV’s house, should have been ready.
And I kept the promise. 3rd July, 3 in the morning, the house stands up. Still dirty, still stinks of building, no possibility to live in it, but at least we won’t fall dead with collapsing ceiling.
Blind selfhoster journey continues.

@bytepursuits @selfhosted I’ve tried one mini-pc about 10 years ago; what a disappointment! It was a small jewel, touching it. It ran Win10, 64GB hard disk. For a couple years it has been my emergency portable aid - I installed NVDA (non visual desktop access) screen reader in it, as JAWS for Windows, the commercial one, is very heavy. So, after a few updates from Win10, this poor machine literally became so, so slow. And, hot. It seemed to have a little oven in my hands.
Now, I don’t find anything interesting; those machine, low-priced, sold in extra-EU e-commerces, don’t seem trustworthy. The second one I bought was bigger, about the size of an iPad mini. But it arrived with broken LCD screen. As a blind user, I was relying just on audio. But in the end, gearbest said “you have broken it” - money thrown in the toilet.
