## 🔰 Easy installers
2023-01-09 00:23:48 +00:00
If you have access to a server that supports one of the sources below, I recommend you use it! Note that these methods *won't* allow you to migrate from Misskey without manual intervention.

## 👀 Get folder ready
2022-07-27 18:31:56 +00:00
2022-07-19 18:59:20 +00:00
```sh
2023-01-21 19:25:31 +00:00
git clone --depth 1 https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey.git
2022-07-19 00:36:11 +00:00
cd calckey/
2022-07-27 18:31:56 +00:00
```
2023-02-09 22:53:32 +00:00
By default, you're on the development branch. Run `git checkout beta` or `git checkout main` to switch to the Beta/Main branches.
2022-10-27 08:01:27 +00:00
## 📩 Install dependencies
```sh
2023-01-03 23:56:32 +00:00
# nvm install 19 && nvm use 19
2023-01-13 04:54:33 +00:00
corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate
2023-01-20 00:56:07 +00:00
# To build without TensorFlow, append --no-optional
pnpm i # --no-optional
2022-10-27 08:01:27 +00:00
```
2023-05-07 19:35:46 +00:00
### pm2
To install pm2 run:
```
npm i -g pm2
pm2 install pm2-logrotate
```
[`pm2-logrotate` ](https://github.com/keymetrics/pm2-logrotate/blob/master/README.md ) ensures that log files don't infinitely gather size, as Calckey produces a lot of logs.
2022-11-27 19:51:57 +00:00
## 🐘 Create database
Assuming you set up PostgreSQL correctly, all you have to run is:
```sh
psql postgres -c "create database calckey with encoding = 'UTF8';"
```
2023-03-19 08:32:17 +00:00
In Calckey's directory, fill out the `db` section of `.config/default.yml` with the correct information, where the `db` key is `calckey` .
## 🦔 Set up search
Follow sonic's [installation guide ](https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic#installation )
If you use IPv4: in Sonic's directory, edit the `config.cfg` file to change `inet` to `"0.0.0.0:1491"` .
In Calckey's directory, fill out the `sonic` section of `.config/default.yml` with the correct information.
2022-08-09 09:37:12 +00:00
## 💅 Customize
2022-11-30 18:51:12 +00:00
- To add custom CSS for all users, edit `./custom/assets/instance.css` .
2022-12-10 03:38:55 +00:00
- To add static assets (such as images for the splash screen), place them in the `./custom/assets/` directory. They'll then be available on `https://yourinstance.tld/static-assets/filename.ext` .
2022-11-30 18:51:12 +00:00
- To add custom locales, place them in the `./custom/locales/` directory. If you name your custom locale the same as an existing locale, it will overwrite it. If you give it a unique name, it will be added to the list. Also make sure that the first part of the filename matches the locale you're basing it on. (Example: `en-FOO.yml` )
2023-02-11 21:16:45 +00:00
- To add custom error images, place them in the `./custom/assets/badges` directory, replacing the files already there.
- To add custom sounds, place only mp3 files in the `./custom/assets/sounds` directory.
2023-01-13 04:18:16 +00:00
- To update custom assets without rebuilding, just run `pnpm run gulp` .
2022-08-09 09:37:12 +00:00
2022-11-13 19:32:17 +00:00
## 🧑🔬 Configuring a new instance
- Run `cp .config/example.yml .config/default.yml`
- Edit `.config/default.yml` , making sure to fill out required fields.
- Also copy and edit `.config/docker_example.env` to `.config/docker.env` if you're using Docker.

- Run `sudo ln -s ./calckey.nginx.conf ../sites-enabled/calckey.nginx.conf`
2022-11-16 04:16:50 +00:00
- Run `sudo nginx -t` to validate that the config is valid, then restart the NGINX service.
2022-11-09 21:38:27 +00:00
2023-05-11 00:08:16 +00:00
### 🪶 Apache
2023-05-11 00:02:38 +00:00

2022-07-29 01:25:02 +00:00
2022-11-09 09:52:23 +00:00
## 😉 Tips & Tricks
2022-11-16 04:18:04 +00:00
- When editing the config file, please don't fill out the settings at the bottom. They're designed *only* for managed hosting, not self hosting. Those settings are much better off being set in Calckey's control panel.
2023-01-10 09:31:11 +00:00
- Port 3000 (used in the default config) might be already used on your server for something else. To find an open port for Calckey, run `for p in {3000..4000}; do ss -tlnH | tr -s ' ' | cut -d" " -sf4 | grep -q "${p}$" || echo "${p}"; done | head -n 1` . Replace 3000 with the minimum port and 4000 with the maximum port if you need it.
2023-05-11 00:02:38 +00:00
- I'd recommend you use a S3 Bucket/CDN for Object Storage, especially if you use Docker.
2022-11-16 04:16:50 +00:00
- I'd ** *strongly*** recommend against using CloudFlare, but if you do, make sure to turn code minification off.
2023-01-14 21:18:29 +00:00
- For push notifications, run `npx web-push generate-vapid-keys` , then put the public and private keys into Control Panel > General > ServiceWorker.
2022-11-09 21:17:39 +00:00
- For translations, make a [DeepL ](https://deepl.com ) account and generate an API key, then put it into Control Panel > General > DeepL Translation.
2022-11-15 00:53:08 +00:00
- To add another admin account:
2022-11-16 04:16:50 +00:00
- Go to the user's page > 3 Dots > About > Moderation > turn on "Moderator"
- Go back to Overview > click the clipboard icon next to the ID
- Run `psql -d calckey` (or whatever the database name is)
- Run `UPDATE "user" SET "isAdmin" = true WHERE id='999999';` (replace `999999` with the copied ID)
- Have the new admin log out and log back in
