I had a hard time when trying to update my Tiny Tiny RSS instance running as Docker container behind Nginx as reverse proxy.

WP Tournament Registration v1.3.0 released
Only a small bugfix because E-mail notification when new participantts register did not work. Now fixed! Remark that I had to fix the docs, too.

Configuring Friendica with Redis
I cannot remember exactly why I chose Friendica when I wanted to take a look on the Fediverse years ago but very likely it was because it is written in PHP which I have considerable skills of. I wasn’t familiar with Docker containers at that time. So I ended up with a bare metal instance…
