Hubzilla in the pasture

Hubzilla 11.4.1 with its pubcrawl addon (peers/hubzilla.sh): the hlhd image on the shared MySQL, a cron sidecar, hzuser
and hzfriend made through Hubzilla's own PHP as public channels that speak ActivityPub. scenarios/hubzilla.sh, 20
checks: follows, posts, comments, likes, edits and deletions both ways, and a third channel's comment that the thread's
owner passes on, which PrivaPub takes on its FEP-8b32 proof. Known gap G-0010 (upstream): Hubzilla 11 keeps a follower
after its Undo{Follow}.

# Hubzilla 11.4.1: channels with nomadic identity, speaking its own Zot6 and, through its pubcrawl addon, ActivityPub.
# The hlhd image (php-fpm and nginx on 8080) on the shared MySQL (database hubzilla, its schema from the image), its
# configuration written here and mounted as .htconfig.php, its store in a volume. Its queue runs in processes the web
# container spawns and in a cron sidecar (Zotlabs/Daemon/Master.php Cron each minute). It trusts Caddy's CA through the
# bundle mounted as its system store. Accounts and channels are made through its own PHP (util/ and cli_startup), and a
# channel speaks ActivityPub only once the "Activitypub Protocol" app is installed for it. Its API (api/z/1.0) takes
# HTTP Basic authentication by the account's email and password.
