       This ended up being so simple I didn't really take notes. The [[Bluesky PDS]] has a one-liner install:

       I have a [[Mailgun]] account that I use for everything that didn't work. I [opened a github issue](https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds/issues/194#issuecomment-2567188011) and ultimately solved my own problem. URLencode the username, so %40 instead of an @ sign. I also reset the password to be a simpler one without any special characters.

       +
       

     

       95
       95
       +
       Going to the Tailscale menu bar item and selecting settings, there is now a "Files" tab:

     

       96
       96

       To access shared folders on the Mac, you [connect to the Taildrive server with the Mac Finder's built in WebDAV support](https://tailscale.com/kb/1369/taildrive?tab=macos+gui#access-directories-shared-with-taildrive).

     

       100
       100
       +
       

     

       101
       101
       +
       > macOS will connect to the Taildrive WebDAV server and show a Finder window with your tailnet name as a folder. Inside that folder, Taildrive will load a folder for each device in your tailnet, and any shares that are active on the devices will appear within those folders.

     

       102
       102
       +
       

     

       103
       103
       +
       This all worked, but unfortunately, no "pds" folder in here! OK, well I made `altariapdsbackup` as a local Mac folder.

     

       104
       104
       +
       

     

       105
       105
       +
       Let's see about connecting from the other end, [from the Ubuntu PDS server](https://tailscale.com/kb/1369/taildrive?tab=linux#access-directories-shared-with-taildrive-3).

       Going to need to install WebDAV support: `apt-get install davfs2`

     

       108
       108
       +
       

     

       109
       109
       +
       Then run the mount command:

     

       110
       110
       +
       

     

       111
       111
       +
       ```shell

     

       112
       112
       +
       mount -t davfs http://100.100.100.100:8080 /mount/tailscale

     

       113
       113
       +
       ```

     

       114
       114
       +
       

     

       115
       115
       +
       Cool, it worked, I can browse to it, and yup, my Tailnet name `bmann.ca` is in there as a folder. Which is, unfortunately, empty.

     

       116
       116
       +
       

     

       117
       117
       +
       OK, fine, I'll go back to [actually reading the policies section again](https://tailscale.com/kb/1369/taildrive?tab=linux#define-sharing-permissions). Pasted in some more policy language, hit save, and yup! All my devices are visible, with the `pds` folder shared.

       It is able to automatically download the required image for them and write them in a `dd`-like fashion, using either `dd` itself or some other way to access the drive directly.

       This overwrites the drive's partition layout though so it also provides a way to restore a single-partition layout with a FAT32 partition.

       The entire meat of the article is, install [goat](https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/tree/main/cmd/goat):

     

       13
       13
       +
       

     

       14
       14
       +
       ```shell

     

       15
       15
       +
       go install github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/cmd/goat@latest

     

       16
       16

       ```

     

       17
       17
       +
       

     

       18
       18
       +
       And then run three commands:

     

       19
       19
       +
       

     

       20

       +
       1: Login to your old account

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       ```shell

     

       23
       23
       +
       goat account login -u $OLDHANDLE -p $OLDPASSWORD

     

       24
       24
       +
       ```

     

       25
       25
       +
       

     

       26
       26
       +
       2: Request a verification token from your current PDS.

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       ```shell

     

       29
       29
       +
       goat account plc request-token

     

       30
       30
       +
       ```

     

       31
       31
       +
       

     

       32
       32
       +
       3: Run the migrate command

     

       33
       33
       +
       

     

       34
       34
       +
       ```shell

     

       35
       35
       +
       goat account migrate \

     

       36
       36
       +
         --pds-host $NEWPDSHOST \

     

       37
       37
       +
         --new-handle $NEWHANDLE \

     

       38
       38
       +
         --new-password $NEWPASSWORD \

     

       39
       39
       +
         --new-email $NEWEMAIL \

     

       40
       40
       +
         --plc-token $NEWPLCTOKEN \

     

       41
       41
       +
         --invite-code $INVITECODE

     

       42
       42
       +
       ```

     

       43
       43
       +
       

     

       44
       44

       I have a new MacOS setup going on, so I needed to install GoLang, figure out where go packages live and add them to my path. Yes, the majority of the work is done locally, you just send commands to the old and new servers.

       If you run your own PDS, you'll need to be logged into that server to issue some `pdsadmin` commands, e.g. grabbing an invite code.

       A couple of notes:

     

       14
       14
       +
       * if you have a generated password with special characters, quote the 'password' (both old and new)

     

       15
       15
       +
       * pds-host expects a full path with protocol, so `https://bringyourown.computer`

     

       16
       16
       +
       

     

       17
       17
       +
       On getting migrated, I reset password on the new account. This is done with `pdsadmin account reset-password`, operating on DIDs, so you'll need `pdsadmin account list` first to get that.

     

       18

       I don't think this was strictly necessary, it may have been me misreading and asking to reset with Bsky rather than putting in the new PDS host.

       The software economy is shifting from a model driven by attention capture to one focused on user intent and purposeful engagement. To enable such an intent driven system, <mark>we need user agents to serve as a unified perimeter of devices, platforms, and services maximizing user agency</mark>. Browsers, as the only open user-agent platform, face a key challenge due to their limited origin policy and integration with broader systems—a gap we aim to bridge.
