🔥 Bonfire Install Party #1 – Get your fediverse instance running!
Friday, June 27, 2025 at 3:30 PM (+0:00)
Join us this Friday at 15:30 UTC for our first Bonfire Install Party!
A casual peer-led session where we’ll set up Bonfire instances together, ask questions, and tackle challenges in real time.
This session will focus on deploying Bonfire using Co-op Cloud — our recommended method, especially for fresh servers. Whether you’re ready to install or just want to follow along and learn, you’re welcome.
What to expect
• Hands-on walkthrough of live deployment using Co-op Cloud
• Real-world troubleshooting and debugging — we’ll learn together
• Shared note-taking to improve our documentation and install guides
• Help shape better tools and recipes by trying them out in the wild
• A no-pressure, collaborative learning environment
What to bring
Ideally:
• A domain or subdomain
• A publicly-accessible server (VPS, dedicated, or local) with SSH access
• DNS configured for your domain
• Your curiosity and questions!
Not ready? That’s fine too — join to watch, learn, and prep for next time. No experience required.
Please note the time is 15:30 UTC, you can see what that means in your timezone using this link and add the event to your calendar using the Actions dropdown menu.

🌐 Can you help translate Bonfire into your language?
We’re looking for translators and bilingual folks to help localise Bonfire extensions and UI into as many languages as possible — especially before the 1.0 release!
No coding needed — just a love of words.
🔥 Join here: https://app.transifex.com/bonfire/bonfire/
P.S. You can also help by translating this very message and/or sharing it! The more communities we reach, the more accessible Bonfire becomes. 🌍💬
