This is (or might become) a collection of simple tools to help with running a small (solo) Fediverse Instance.
- scripts/hashtag_helper.py: A bot which searches remote instances by hashtag, and injects what it finds into the local timeline.
- ...
Consult the source of each individual tool for further documentation.
- Python 3.x
- Mastodon.py.
For development, I recommend using virtualenv:
$ virtualenv -p $(which python3) .env
$ . .env/bin/activate
$ pip install Mastodon.py
...configure things...
$ python ./scripts/hashtag_helper.py
If you want to install things globally:
$ sudo pip3 install Mastodon.py
$ cp -a scripts/*.py /usr/local/bin
I have a line like this in my crontab, to run the hashtag helper once per hour,
complemented by the config.json file specifying a looptime of 3500 seconds.
