Note that these methods *won't* allow you to migrate from Misskey without manual intervention. [![Install on Ubuntu](https://pool.jortage.com/voringme/misskey/3b62a443-1b44-45cf-8f9e-f1c588f803ed.png)](https://codeberg.org/calckey/ubuntu-bash-install)　　[![Install on the Arch User Repository](https://pool.jortage.com/voringme/misskey/ba2a5c07-f078-43f1-8483-2e01acca9c40.png)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/calckey)　　[![Install Calckey with YunoHost](https://install-app.yunohost.org/install-with-yunohost.svg)](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=calckey) ## ðŸ›ģïļ Containerization - [ðŸģ How to run Calckey with Docker](https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey/src/branch/develop/docs/docker.md) - [🛞 How to run Calckey with Kubernetes/Helm](https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey/src/branch/develop/docs/kubernetes.md) ## 🧑‍ðŸ’ŧ Dependencies - ðŸĒ At least [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) v18.12.1 (v19 recommended) - Install with [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) - 🐘 At least [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) v12 - ðŸą At least [Redis](https://redis.io/) v6 (v7 recommend) - Web Proxy (one of the following) - 🍀 Nginx (recommended) - ðŸŠķ Apache ### 😗 Optional dependencies - [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for video transcoding - [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/) for full-text search ### 🏗ïļ Build dependencies - ðŸĶ€ [Rust toolchain](https://www.rust-lang.org/) - ðŸĶŽ C/C++ compiler & build tools - `build-essential` on Debian/Ubuntu Linux - `base-devel` on Arch Linux - 🐍 [Python 3](https://www.python.org/) ## 👀 Get folder ready ```sh git clone --depth 1 https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey.git cd calckey/ ``` By default, you're on the development branch. Run `git checkout beta` or `git checkout main` to switch to the Beta/Main branches. ## ðŸ“Đ Install dependencies ```sh # nvm install 19 && nvm use 19 corepack enable corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate # To build without TensorFlow, append --no-optional pnpm i # --no-optional ``` ### 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. ## 🐘 Create database Assuming you set up PostgreSQL correctly, all you have to run is: ```sh psql postgres -c "create database calckey with encoding = 'UTF8';" ``` In Calckey's directory, fill out the `db` section of `.config/default.yml` with the correct information, where the `db` key is `calckey`. ## ðŸĶ” 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. ## 💅 Customize - To add custom CSS for all users, edit `./custom/assets/instance.css`. - 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`. - 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`) - 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. - To update custom assets without rebuilding, just run `pnpm run gulp`. ## 🧑‍🔎 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. ## 🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey For migrating from Misskey v13, Misskey v12, and Foundkey, read [this document](https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey/src/branch/develop/docs/migrate.md). ## 🌐 Web proxy ### 🍀 Nginx (recommended) - Run `sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/ && cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/` - Edit `calckey.nginx.conf` to reflect your instance properly - Run `sudo ln -s ./calckey.nginx.conf ../sites-enabled/calckey.nginx.conf` - Run `sudo nginx -t` to validate that the config is valid, then restart the NGINX service. ### ðŸŠķ Apache - Run `sudo cp ./calckey.apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/ && cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/` - Edit `calckey.apache.conf` to reflect your instance properly - Run `sudo a2ensite calckey.apache` to enable the site - Run `sudo service apache2 restart` to reload apache2 configuration ## 🚀 Build and launch! ### ðŸĒ NodeJS + pm2 #### `git pull` and run these steps to update Calckey in the future! ```sh # git pull pnpm install NODE_ENV=production pnpm run build && pnpm run migrate pm2 start "NODE_ENV=production pnpm run start" --name Calckey ``` ## 😉 Tips & Tricks - 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. - 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. - I'd recommend you use a S3 Bucket/CDN for Object Storage, especially if you use Docker. - I'd ***strongly*** recommend against using CloudFlare, but if you do, make sure to turn code minification off. - For push notifications, run `npx web-push generate-vapid-keys`, then put the public and private keys into Control Panel > General > ServiceWorker. - For translations, make a [DeepL](https://deepl.com) account and generate an API key, then put it into Control Panel > General > DeepL Translation. - To add another admin account: - 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
