Last step of 5) failed with encoding error 

i switched to the pg-user and executed : 

I had to manually change encoding of template1 to UTF8 for this to work.

postgres=# update pg_database set datistemplate='false' where datname='template1';UPDATE 1postgres=# drop database template1;DROP DATABASEpostgres=# create database template1 encoding='UTF8' template template0;CREATE DATABASEpostgres=# update pg_database set datistemplate='true' where datname='template1';UPDATE 1

Just installed on a Raspberry 4 with these instructions - two remarks

adduser --disabled-login Diaspora should be adduser --disabled-login diaspora

cp config/diaspora.yml.example config/diaspora.yml sould be cp config/diaspora.toml.example config/diaspora.toml

Can confirm. The people at Diaspora* changed diaspora.yml into diaspora.toml.

I have a question about running diaspora on a server that is behind a separate server running as reverse proxy.

1) what would the file etc/nginx/sites-available/diaspora look like on the server running diaspora?

2) what would the file look like on the server running the reverse proxy?
