@grips How's the instance setup going?

@matrix Plemora is up and running locally, although still in a fresh state
the biggest hurdle is that I'm still waiting for my domain... I've paid, but the contract is in a locked state, whatever that means... IONOS knowledge base says nothing about it, so I'm in the blind :/
if I don't get the domain tomorrow, I'll try GoDaddy or some other registrar
(I don't know much about how domain registration works, but a four day wait is definitely fishy)

but yeah, the server side of things is working fine so far... I'll probably do certificates, https and basic cybersec next, which will probably be a pain, since I've never ran a server

@grips
Ok. That's weird. What domain registrar are you using? I use Namecheap and I had mine in minutes.
The biggest pain in the ass for me was making Google mail accept my mails.
