Yarn.social Online Meetup 25th May (See: #fcghsma for details)
In-reply-to » What does a yarnd setup look like to anyone? 🤔 Let's say it exists, and it helps you setup a Yarn pod in seconds. What does it do? Of course I'd have to split out yarnd itself into yarnd run to actually run the server/daemon part.

@prologic@twtxt.net I just set up a Yarn instance from scratch and, honestly, I don’t think a yarnd setup is needed. 🤔

I followed the instructions here and they were simple enough: https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/yarn/src/branch/main/README.md#configuring-your-pod

It needs a little polishing (for example, it says COOKIE_SECRET is optional which it isn’t), but it was a good experience overall.

Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer reading installation instructions. And I believe that not having something like yarnd setup nudges you (the author) into keeping those instructions short and concise. Whereas the existence of yarnd setup means that you can cram everything and the kitchen sink in there, because it’s convenient. That can lead to a convoluted setup process – and me, the user, does not really know what that command really does, which is something that I, personally, don’t like. 😅
