|

**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
|
|
|
|
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 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="<secret-key>" docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d
|
|
# Run the server locally
|
|
$ FLASK_DEBUG=1 MICROBLOGPUB_DEBUG=1 FLASK_APP=app.py POUSSETACHES_AUTH_KEY="<secret-key>" flask run -p 5005 --with-threads
|
|
```
