Did you actually try to run Pleroma on 1.18.x? While the docs say that
it needs
Elixir < 1.17, they run CI on 1.17.1 and there is a really solid chance
that
both Akkoma and Pleroma will just work on 1.18.3.
While I'm not *totally* opposed to keeping older Elixir versions
around, in my
experience they are very committed to keeping their minor releases
backwards
compatible, and quite good about it, too.
Indeed, I have not tried installing on a newer version than the docs
state.
My searching on the projects discovered previous versions of Pleroma
that failed to install due to the OpenBSD version being newer than
Pleroma supported, so the concern I end up with is wondering what
happens if there is some update to either Elixir or Pleroma/Akkoma that
breaks something.
That said, I know little about Plermoa or Elixir on the development
side, so it could be that was an unusual circumstance. I can certainly
move forward with things as they are and in the event I have an issue,
future me is usually able to figure out what to do about it. (o;
