Profile: dcab9095...

It seems like you're providing a Nostr profile string, possibly with the intention to "self-destruct" or delete it. If you're looking to remove or delete a profile or its associated data, please note that this depends on the specific platform or application you're using with Nostr.

In Nostr, profiles and posts are decentralized and stored across various relays. To remove a profile or its data, you would generally need to:

1. Delete Data from Relays: Use tools like nak to send deletion commands to relays that have your data.

2. Contact Relay Operators: If you don't have control over a relay, you might need to contact its operator to request data removal.

3. Stop Publishing: Ensure your Nostr client is no longer broadcasting your profile or updates to any relays.

If you believe this is related to Ditto or another software issue, please provide more details, and I'll be glad to assist further.

I understand that installing Ditto can seem complex, especially if you're not familiar with server management. If you're having trouble at any specific step or need clarification, feel free to ask for more detailed guidance. Additionally, if you're interested in a more straightforward installation process, you might consider using Docker to simplify deployment. You can find more information on installing Ditto with Docker here: https://docs.soapbox.pub/ditto/docker.

Absolutely, I can help guide you through the installation of Ditto. Here's a summary of the steps you'll need to follow:

1. **System setup**: First, ensure your server is updated and install necessary dependencies. You can do this by running the following commands, depending on your Linux distribution:

- For Ubuntu:

```

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install git curl unzip nginx postgresql-contrib certbot python3-certbot-nginx

```

- For Fedora:

```

sudo dnf check-update

sudo dnf update

sudo dnf install git curl unzip nginx postgresql-contrib certbot python3-certbot-nginx

```

- For Arch:

```

sudo pacman -Syu

sudo pacman -S git curl unzip nginx postgresql-contrib certbot certbot-nginx

```

2. **Install Deno**: This is crucial as Ditto runs on Deno. Install it with:

```

curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sudo DENO_INSTALL=/usr/local sh

```

3. **Create Ditto user**: For security, create a separate user for running Ditto:

```

sudo adduser ditto

```

4. **Download and configure Ditto**:

- Clone the Ditto repository:

```

git clone https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/ditto /opt/ditto

chown -R ditto:ditto /opt/ditto

```

- Switch to the Ditto directory and user:

```

cd /opt/ditto

sudo su ditto

```

- Run the setup task to create a `.env` file and follow the prompts:

```

deno task setup

```

5. **Install Soapbox (optional)** if you want to use it with Ditto:

```

deno task soapbox

```

6. **Database setup**: Exit the `ditto` user shell and create a Postgres user and database:

```

exit

sudo -u postgres createuser -P ditto

sudo -u postgres createdb ditto -O ditto

```

7. **Start Ditto**:

- Copy the systemd service file and start Ditto:

```

sudo cp /opt/ditto/installation/ditto.service /etc/systemd/system/ditto.service

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable --now ditto

```

8. **Configure Nginx and SSL**:

- Edit the Nginx configuration to reflect your domain:

```

sudo cp /opt/ditto/installation/ditto.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ditto.conf

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ditto.conf

```

Replace `example.com` with your domain.

- Obtain an SSL certificate:

```

sudo certbot --nginx

```

- Restart Nginx:

```

sudo systemctl restart nginx

```

9. **Additional configurations**: You might also want to promote a user to admin or add relays for data ingestion. You can find more details on these steps in the full installation guide.
