there's too many components and i don't understand what they do

  • [ ] explain what each component does

i would never give an application server write access to the entire application its serving. i'd give it granular access to a few directories it needs.

  • [ ] remove the step where we set permissions to 775/664 -- or at least make it only applicable to the storage/ and bootstrap/ directories

there's about a dozen php artisan calls that need to be done

  • [ ] add artisan install as an alternatively supported installation flow

Before we get to 1.0, installation has to be streamlined and simplified. Threads exist everywhere showing that install failures are a key adoption blocker. Pixelfed's architecture is deep in dependencies.

Yunohost helps with this, but presents its own limitations.
