Step 1
======
-First, put the folders 'xrd' and 'dot-well-known' on your website, so
-they load at:
+Put the 'dot-well-known' on your website, so it loads at:
- http://yourname.com/xrd/
+ https://example.com/.well-known/
- and
-
- http://yourname.com/.well-known/
-
- (Remember the . at the beginning of this one)
-
-NOTE: If you're using https, make sure each instance of http:// for
- your own domain ("example.com") is replaced with https://
+(Remember the . at the beginning of this one, which is common practice
+for "hidden" files and why we have renamed it "dot-")
Step 2
======
-Next, edit xrd/index.php and enter a secret in this line:
-
-$s = "";
-
-This can be anything you like...
-
-$s = "johnny5";
-
-or
-
-$s = "12345";
-
-It really doesn't matter too much.
+Edit the .well-known/host-meta file and replace "example.com" with the
+domain name you're hosting the .well-known directory on.
+Using vim you can do this as a quick method:
+ $ vim .well-known/host-meta [ENTER]
+ :%s/example.com/domain.com/ [ENTER]
+ :wq [ENTER]
Step 3
======
-Edit the .well-known/host-meta file and replace all occurrences of
-"example.com" with your domain name.
-
-Step 4
-======
-
For each user on your site, and this might only be you...
-In the xrd directory, make a copy of the example@example.com.xml file
-so that it's called...
-
- yoursecretusername@domain.com.xml
+In the webfinger directory, make a copy of the example@example.com.xml file
+so that it's called (replace username and example.com with appropriate
+values, the domain name should be the same as you're "socialifying"):
-So, if your secret from step 2 is 'johnny5' and your name is 'ben' and
-your domain is 'titanictoycorp.biz', your file should be called
-johnny5ben@titanictoycorp.biz.xml
+ username@example.com.xml
-Then edit the file, replacing "social.example.com" with your GNU
-social instance's base path, and change the user ID number (and
+Then edit the file contents, replacing "social.example.com" with your
+GNU social instance's base path, and change the user ID number (and
nickname for the FOAF link) to that of your account on your social
site. If you don't know your user ID number, you can see this on your
GNU social profile page by looking at the destination URLs in the
Feeds links.
+PROTIP: You can get the bulk of the contents (note the <Subject> element though)
+ from curling down your real webfinger data:
+$ curl https://social.example.com/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:username@social.example.com
+
