Hubzilla, an open source decentralized social and community platform, ready to host your own hub on first boot.
Hubzilla is an open source decentralized platform for building community websites and social networks. It combines a social network, a built in wiki and CMS, cloud file storage and photo albums, and hosted web pages, all organized around channels with a fine grained permission system.
Its nomadic identity lets a channel be cloned across multiple hubs so an account survives the loss of any single server, and hubs federate over the Zot and Nomad protocols to connect with the wider fediverse. Communities and teams use it to run a self hosted social hub, a members area, or a private group space in their own cloud account.
cloudimg delivers Hubzilla fully built on Apache with a PHP 8.3 runtime and a bundled MariaDB database, with the required background poller wired up as a systemd timer, so the hub is reachable within minutes of launch. There is no default login: the database ships empty and the first account you register becomes the administrator, with the database password, the site federation salt and the site keys all generated uniquely on first boot. The operating system ships fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, and every image includes 24/7 cloudimg support and a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact image you launch.
