A self-hosted, single-user, ActivityPub powered microblog.
**Still in early development.** ## /!\ Note to adventurer If you are running an instance with Celery/RabbitMQ, you will need to [perform a migration](https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub/tree/drop-celery#perform-the-drop-celery-migration). Getting closer to a stable release, it should be the "last" migration. ## Features - Implements a basic [ActivityPub](https://activitypub.rocks/) server (with federation) - Compatible with [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon) and others (Pleroma, Hubzilla...) - Also implements a remote follow compatible with Mastodon instances - Exposes your outbox as a basic microblog - Support all content types from the Fediverse (`Note`, `Article`, `Page`, `Video`, `Image`, `Question`...) - Comes with an admin UI with notifications and the stream of people you follow - Allows you to attach files to your notes - Privacy-aware image upload endpoint that strip EXIF meta data before storing the file - No JavaScript, **that's it**. Even the admin UI is pure HTML/CSS - Easy to customize (the theme is written Sass) - mobile-friendly theme - with dark and light version - Microformats aware (exports `h-feed`, `h-entry`, `h-cards`, ...) - Exports RSS/Atom/[JSON](https://jsonfeed.org/) feeds - You stream/timeline is also available in an (authenticated) JSON feed - Comes with a tiny HTTP API to help posting new content and and read your inbox/notifications - Deployable with Docker (Docker compose for everything: dev, test and deployment) - Implements [IndieAuth](https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/) endpoints (authorization and token endpoint) - U2F support - You can use your ActivityPub identity to login to other websites/app - Focused on testing - Tested against the [official ActivityPub test suite](https://test.activitypub.rocks/) ([report submitted](https://github.com/w3c/activitypub/issues/308)) - [CI runs "federation" tests against two instances](https://d.a4.io/tsileo/microblog.pub) - Project is running 2 up-to-date instances ([here](https://microblog.pub) and [there](https://a4.io)) - The core ActivityPub code/tests are in [Little Boxes](https://github.com/tsileo/little-boxes) (but needs some cleanup) - Manually tested against [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon) and other platforms ## User Guide Remember that _microblog.pub_ is still in early development. The easiest and recommended way to run _microblog.pub_ in production is to use the provided docker-compose config. First install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) and [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/). Python is not needed on the host system. Note that all the generated data (config included) will be stored on the host (i.e. not only in Docker) in `config/` and `data/`. ### Installation ```shell $ git clone https://github.com/tsileo/microblog.pub $ cd microblog.pub $ make config ``` ### Deployment To spawn the docker-compose project (running this command will also update _microblog.pub_ to latest and restart the project it it's already running): ```shell $ make run ``` ### HTTP API See [docs/api.md](docs/api.md) for the internal HTTP API documentation. ### Backup The easiest way to backup all of your data is to backup the `microblog.pub/` directory directly (that's what I do and I have been able to restore super easily). It should be safe to copy the directory while the Docker compose project is running. ## Development The project requires Python3.7+. The most convenient way to hack on _microblog.pub_ is to run the Python server on the host directly, and evetything else in Docker. ```shell # One-time setup (in a new virtual env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt # Start MongoDB and poussetaches $ make poussetaches $ env POUSSETACHES_AUTH_KEY="
