Eugen Rochko 47d1cb4e21 TIL a return from a block seems to return from the whole method rather than the block, even though the last line of a block is an implicit return. I am confused to say the least		2016-03-19 00:23:46 +01:00

README.md

Mastodon

Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project. Based on ActivityStreams, Webfinger, PubsubHubbub and Salmon.

Current status of the project is early development. Documentation &co will be added later

Status

GNU Social users can follow Mastodon users
Mastodon users can follow GNU Social users
Retweets, favourites, mentions, replies work in both directions
Public pages for profiles and single statuses
Sign up, login, forgotten passwords and changing password
Mentions and URLs converted to links in statuses
REST API, including home and mention timelines
OAuth2 provider system for the API
Upload header image for profile page
Deleting statuses, deletion propagation

Configuration

LOCAL_DOMAIN should be the domain/hostname of your instance. This is absolutely required as it is used for generating unique IDs for everything federation-related
LOCAL_HTTPS set it to true if HTTPS works on your website. This is used to generate canonical URLs, which is also important when generating and parsing federation-related IDs
HUB_URL should be the URL of the PubsubHubbub service that your instance is going to use. By default it is the open service of Superfeedr

Consult the example configuration file, .env.production.sample for the full list.

Requirements

PostgreSQL
Redis

Running with Docker and Docker-Compose

The project now includes a Dockerfile and a docker-compose.yml. You need to turn .env.production.sample into .env.production with all the variables set before you can:

docker-compose build

And finally

docker-compose up

As usual, the first thing you would need to do would be to run migrations:

docker-compose run web rake db:migrate

And since the instance running in the container will be running in production mode, you need to pre-compile assets:

docker-compose run web rake assets:precompile

The container has two volumes, for the assets and for user uploads. The default docker-compose.yml maps them to the repository's public/assets and public/system directories, you may wish to put them somewhere else. Likewise, the PostgreSQL and Redis images have data containers that you may wish to map somewhere where you know how to find them and back them up.
