BadgeFed 0.0.2 Release: Docker, Federation Standards, and FOSDEM 2026! Hey Fediverse! The changes have been coming fast and furious, so much happening that we couldn’t keep up with individual posts! But here we are with something big to share. BadgeFed 0.0.2 is Live! After incredible feedback from our community (huge thanks to @[email protected] for the contributions to @badgefed, it became clear we needed a new release. Download BadgeFed 0.0.2 here → What’s New Docker-Ready We’ve restructured everything for easier deployment. Now you can mount all persistent storage cleanly. Global Expansion New BadgeFed server in Poland running on Kubernetes! Follow @[email protected] New official domain: https://badgefed.org/ - we’ve grown! With our new domain comes new opportunities—and new challenges! We’re currently exploring how to implement the ActivityPub Move activity to enable seamless account migration between BadgeFed servers. This would allow users to migrate their badge credentials and followers when moving between instances, maintaining the decentralized spirit while ensuring user sovereignty over their digital achievements. Federation Standards We implemented FEP-67ff: FEDERATION.md (thanks @[email protected]!)—you can see exactly how BadgeFed federates. Performance & Reliability New queue system for better responsiveness and job management Multiple Mastodon server support for improved federation And Much More… Honestly, there have been so many rapid changes and improvements that we’ve lost track of documenting everything! The best way to discover all the new features and enhancements is to dive in and explore BadgeFed 0.0.2 yourself. You might find some pleasant surprises we forgot to mention here. See BadgeFed at FOSDEM 2026! We’re presenting at FOSDEM 2026!

@badgefed @mapache nice! This is really cool!

@ANONYMOUSKOREAN the Dockerfile is maintained by the community, since we don't use it at NodeBB ourselves. That said, it would be very appreciated if you were to help keep the file updated

@phenomlab very true. A lot of talented people have done some surprisingly cool things with just the custom css panel.

I missed one from last night! @baris added a tag filter UI to the tags page https://community.nodebb.org/topic/16995/tag-filter-on-topic-list

The updates continue unabated here, as we work on updating the Harmony theme, page by page! This past couple weeks, you might've noticed that the /users page got a refresh: [image: 1676060673707-screenshot-2023-02-10-at-15-24-08-community.png] Almost all of the elements have remained unchanged. There is no new information here, but it's absolutely shocking to see how much more balanced the page is compared to Persona. We also updated the flag list and details pages, to give those tireless content moderators a bit of a boost as well. You might notice that the list of flag filters in the sidebar has been updated to match the UI controls found in the /search page as well.

Had the same problem. Many thanks for the solution!

@baris well finally managed to get it working, I was missing to accept merging the branch when doing the pull.... but that was not enough as now it was showing me a problem with the widget essentials... so I checkout the commit for "up widget essentials" and that fixed it for me!! Thank you for your time @baris

@a_5mith Yes I have already checked it. I have found a docker image created by @nopz, this one is up-to-date. But the official docker image in not! Maybe you (nodebb) should give access to a dockerfile to allow anyone to build a nodebb docker image. EDIT I found the dockerfile, and the problem about this outdated version here. It's outdated because the dockerfile build the image with the v0.5.x version : FROM centos:centos7 MAINTAINER NodeBB Docker Team <[email protected]> # install main packages: RUN yum -y update ; yum clean all RUN yum -y install epel-release tar ; yum clean all RUN yum -y install wget ; yum clean all RUN yum -y groupinstall "Development Tools" RUN yum -y install nodejs git ImageMagick npm RUN yum -y install openssl openssl-devel # clone nodebb and install it RUN cd /opt ; git clone -b v0.5.x https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB nodebb RUN cd /opt/nodebb ; npm install # Create a nodebb volume VOLUME /opt/nodebb # Define a working directory WORKDIR /opt/nodebb # Expose ports EXPOSE 80 EXPOSE 443 EXPOSE 4567 CMD [ "node", "app.js" ] You should (NodeBB) update this dockerfile ! End of the EDIT Now, with the nopz/nodebb image I just had a problem about plugin persistence. But the first installation is so much easier and automatic with just one docker. Thanks for your answer by the way

We do offsite installations and upgrades, message [email protected] Of course, we do have docs so you should try it yourself just back up everything first! Edit: to answer your original question, we do plan on building an upgrade button into our hosting plans control panel - right now we just upgrade customers manually. It's probably impossible (or hard) to make an app upgrade itself via acp, we would need to make the acp a standalone application (we've toyed around the idea, but not worth the development time)

I have successfully patched font awesome to 5.6.3. Both free or pro should work fine. As a total newbie to nodebb, there might be issues that I am not aware yet.

@ arasbm: There's some work being done to dockerize the install. If that doesn't do the trick for you, I expect some of the same automation will. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/3115/nodebb-centos-dockerfile/4

We found a few bugs popping up with the update. Will post them in a second.

@julian ok, thx

@a_5mith if you are quoting from a different topic it puts in a link to that topic but it was using the old format which is fixed now. https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1840

@frissdiegurke either that or text complete can be a standalone plugin that other plugins can add stuff into.
