Fd - A Fediverse Network Directory

The code that powers fediverse.network, maybe some day fediverse.directory too.

Development dependencies:

• Erlang, Elixir
• PostgreSQL
• TimescaleDB PostgreSQL extension
• Node.JS, NPM

You can create a timescaledb instance using the startDevDB.sh script. (this requires docker and you need to change the DATA_DIR variable in the script)

Development setup

Configure config/dev.exs if you need another db/user than fd_dev and postgres.

Checkout dependencies

mix deps.get
cd assets && npm install && cd ..

Create the database

mix ecto.create

(Not needed for the docker iamge) If your postgresql user is not a superuser, you will need to create the database manually and load the extensions:

psql -d fd_database
create extension timescaledb;

Run the database migrations

mix ecto.migrate

Run it

iex -S mix phx.server

CLI Admin

Add an instance:

instance_domain = "soc.ialis.me"
{:ok, instance} = Fd.Instances.create_instance(%{"domain" => instance_domain})

Crawl an instance:

Fd.crawl(domain | id)

Switch flags for an instance:

Fd.Instances.switch_flag(id, "dead", true)

Flags:

• dead
• monitor
• hidden
• valid
