🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey

You need at least 🐢 NodeJS v16.15.0 (v18.4.0 recommended!) and exactly 🧶 Yarn v3.2.2!

⚠️ Please don't use NodeJS v18.6.0, as it's known to cause problems.

📩 Install dependencies

# nvm install 18.4.0 && nvm alias default 18.4.0 && nvm use 18.4.0
corepack enable
yarn set version berry

👀 Get folder ready

git clone https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/calckey.git
cd calckey/
# git checkout main # if you want only stable versions
cp ../misskey/.config/default.yml ./.config/default.yml # replace `../misskey/` with misskey path, replace `default.yml` with `docker.yml` if you use docker
# cp -r ../misskey/files . # if you don't use object storage

💅 Customize

• To add custom CSS for all users, edit ./custom/instance.css.
• To add static assets (such as images for the splash screen), place them in the ./custom/ directory. They'll then be avaliable on https://yourinstance.tld/static-assets/filename.ext.
