So, I’ll be outright with it: I didn’t follow the golden rule of making sure I had a complete backup of my data. I have a VPS that I run a couple things on, including my Ghost blog. I was running it via Yunohost, but went and did some shell tweaking that ended up with me chmodding my system files and locking myself out of sudo, without having a proper backup. Reinstalled an OS and opted to go with the newer Cosmos Cloud instead of Yunohost, and have gotten everything back together outside of Ghost’s ActivityPub feature.
After hours troubleshooting proxy issues, 301 and 404 responses, and the ActivityPub webhook secret being returned as the default Ghost 404 page, I finally got a JSON response back: {“error”:“Forbidden”,“code”:“ROLE_MISSING”}. A quick look showed this appears to be an issue with a stale registry entry, that can only be reset by you lovely folks. What information do I need to provide to have this registry entry wiped so I can regain ActivityPub functionality?
Thanks,
blinding
