# 🌠 Getting started
This guide will work for both **starting from scratch** and **migrating from Misskey**.
## 🔰 Easy installers
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.
[![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)
### 🐋 Docker
[How to run Calckey with Docker](./docs/docker.md).
## 🧑‍💻 Dependencies
- 🐢 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
- 🍱 At least [Redis](https://redis.io/) v6 (v7 recommend)
### 😗 Optional dependencies
- [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for video transcoding
- Full text search (choost one of the following)
- 🦔 [Sonic](https://crates.io/crates/sonic-server) (highly recommended!)
- [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/)
- Management (choose one of the following)
- 🛰️ [pm2](https://pm2.io/)
- 🐳 [Docker](https://docker.com)
- Service manager (systemd, openrc, etc)
### 🏗️ Build dependencies
- 🦀 [Rust toolchain](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
- 🦬 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.
## 📩 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
```
## 🐘 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`.
## 🦔 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](./docs/migrate.md).
## 🍀 NGINX
- 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 cp ./calckey.nginx.conf ../sites-enabled/`
- Run `sudo nginx -t` to validate that the config is valid, then restart the NGINX service.
</details>
## 🚀 Build and launch!
### 🐢 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
