🌠 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.
🛳️ Containerization
🧑💻 Dependencies
- 🐢 At least NodeJS v18.12.1 (v19 recommended)
- Install with nvm
- 🐘 At least PostgreSQL v12
- 🍱 At least Redis v6 (v7 recommend)
😗 Optional dependencies
- FFmpeg for video transcoding
- Full text search (choost one of the following)
- 🦔 Sonic (highly recommended!)
- ElasticSearch
- Management (choose one of the following)
🏗️ Build dependencies
- 🦀 Rust toolchain
- 🦬 C/C++ compiler & build tools
build-essentialon Debian/Ubuntu Linuxbase-develon Arch Linux
- 🐍 Python 3
👀 Get folder ready
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
# 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 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:
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
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 onhttps://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/badgesdirectory, replacing the files already there. - To add custom sounds, place only mp3 files in the
./custom/assets/soundsdirectory. - 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.envto.config/docker.envif you're using Docker.
🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey
For migrating from Misskey v13, Misskey v12, and Foundkey, read this document.
Web proxy
Choose between NGINX or Apache (we recommend NGINX)
🍀 NGINX
- Run
sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/ && cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/ - Edit
calckey.nginx.confto reflect your instance properly - Run
sudo ln -s ./calckey.nginx.conf ../sites-enabled/calckey.nginx.conf - Run
sudo nginx -tto validate that the config is valid, then restart the NGINX service.
Apache 2
- Run
sudo cp ./calckey.apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/ && cd /etc/apache2/sites-available/ - Edit
calckey.apache.confto reflect your instance properly - Run
sudo a2ensite calckey.apacheto enable the site - Run
sudo service apache2 restartto reload apache2 configuration
🚀 Build and launch!
🐢 NodeJS + pm2
git pull and run these steps to update Calckey in the future!
# 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 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';(replace999999with the copied ID) - Have the new admin log out and log back in
