Mini post to celebrate and share a solution I stumbled on. For anyone struggling to get ActivityPub (hosted) working in Ghost 6 (self-hosted), getting errors about it being "not properly configured" in the Network even after adding the extra paths to your reverse proxy's configuration,
This is a post I was not expecting to make, but after I mentioned in an online community about my Matrix setup for video calls with my family, there was some interest in it, and so I've decided to document it here as it may help others to
I suspect not a lot of people are using Meshtastic over Wi-Fi, since it was a little difficult to find the information I'm going to share here. I hope this guide saves someone the time I spent to figure it out. Context My main Meshtastic node is
