WordPress multisite in selfhosting: one fail, one success

@selfhosted

Starting with the fail: selfhosted site doesn't associate to the official automattic WordPress mobile app; I've (temporarily?) commented the "location xmlrpc.php deny all" rule on /etc/nginx/conf.d/plusbrothers.net'd/wordpress__3.conf

The app correctly generates the "application password" but then returns "impossible to load WordPress site details" (no idea if it's the correct English word).

SUCCESS:
Ulysses and Drafts, two iPhone/iPad writing apps, successfully publish my texts on WordPress posts, as a draft; I can use those and write what I want. I'll try to uncomment xmlrpc deny rule again, then retry.

My goal is to write contents on the app, then finalize it on the site.

OTHER SUCCESS:
site works, both with pure "plusbrothers.net" address and physical WordPress location "plusbrothers.net/wp" - applies to /english as well. Before concretely re-posting old contents and writing new ones, I prefer to have a very solid structure.

I have no idea though, about how vulnerable my website is, hostinger vps YunoHost-driven.

It's been long, long time I didn't work till late in the night, at the moment I'm writing, it's 10 minutes to 3 in the morning!

I promised to my best friend (and content writer) that on July 3rd, the walls of our sentient HIV's house, should have been ready.
And I kept the promise. 3rd July, 3 in the morning, the house stands up. Still dirty, still stinks of building, no possibility to live in it, but at least we won't fall dead with collapsing ceiling.

Blind selfhoster journey continues.

Blind selfhoster journey continues.

I just wanted to say, I could not imagine what it takes to do all of this without sight. When I think of some of my limitations that I gripe about, they pale in comparison. I may not understand exactly what it is you are doing, but the fact that you're doing it is huge.

Respect!

@irmadlad The huge problem is that most documentation is in video format or full of information conveyed just by colors. In this, I have to admit, AI helps. As I can ask it to find what I need, and explain strings in human readable language. Well, of course if I have an idea of what I'm doing at least as principle. Such as "explain in words why this nginx rule doesn't work, why test has failed"
