twt-tools

Tools for twtxt that don't suck

Presentation

twt-tools is a set of 3 scripts covering the use of twtxt:

twtsrv: script run by your webserver used to update your twtxt file through a REST API
twtpub: publishing script (twtssrv client)
twtsub: subscription script (you can follow people with it)

Installation

twtsrv

This script can be run with FastCGI using for example fcgiwrap.

Here is an exemple of nginx config:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name exemple.com;

    root /var/www/twtxt;

    location ~ \.sh {
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/fcgiwrap.socket;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME  $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Don't forget to edit the script and set secret variable to a strong secret.

twtpub

Copy and adapt twtpub.ini in ~/.config/twtxt/twtpub.ini. You can have multiple feeds there if you want.
