# About
|
|
|
|
This program runs as a daemon (proxied by a TLS-enabled real httpd server) and provides the basic services for a Fediverse / ActivityPub instance (sharing messages and stuff from/to other systems like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc.).
|
|
|
|
This is not the manual; man pages `snac(1)` (user manual), `snac(5)` (formats) and `snac(8)` (administrator manual) are what you are looking for.
|
|
|
|
`snac` stands for Social Networks Are Crap.
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
This 2.x release is written in C (unlike the 1.x prototype, which was written in Python). The only external dependencies are `openssl` and `curl`.
|
|
|
|
On Debian/Ubuntu, you can satisfy these requirements by running
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
apt install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On OpenBSD you also need to install `curl`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pkg_add curl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `make` and then `make install` as root.
|
|
|
|
See the administrator manual on how to proceed from here.

# Testing via Docker
|
|
|
|
A `docker-compose` file is provided for development and testing. To start snac with an nginx HTTPS frontend, run:
|
|
|
|
docker-compose build && docker-compose up
|
|
|
|
This will:
|
|
|
|
- Start snac, storing data in `data/`
|
|
- Configure snac to listen on port 8001 with a server name of `localhost` (see `examples/docker-entrypoint.sh`)
|
|
- Create a new user `testuser` and print the user's generated password on the console (see `examples/docker-entrypoint.sh`)
|
|
- Start nginx to handle HTTPS, using the certificate pair from `nginx-alpine-ssl/nginx-selfsigned.*` (see `examples/nginx-alpine-ssl/entrypoint.sh`)
