2022-08-08 08:07:22 +02:00
## 👀 Get folder ready
2022-07-27 20:31:56 +02:00
2022-07-19 20:59:20 +02:00
```sh
2022-07-19 02:36:11 +02:00
git clone https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/calckey.git
cd calckey/
2022-07-24 08:15:09 +02:00
# git checkout main # if you want only stable versions
2022-07-27 20:31:56 +02:00
```
2022-10-27 10:01:27 +02:00
## 📩 Install dependencies
```sh
2022-11-04 22:49:06 +01:00
# nvm install 18 && nvm alias default 18 && nvm use 18
2022-10-27 10:01:27 +02:00
corepack enable
```
2022-11-27 20:51:57 +01:00
## 🐘 Create database
Assuming you set up PostgreSQL correctly, all you have to run is:
```sh
psql postgres -c "create database calckey with encoding = 'UTF8';"
```
2022-08-09 11:37:12 +02:00
## 💅 Customize
2022-11-30 19:51:12 +01:00
- To add custom CSS for all users, edit `./custom/assets/instance.css` .
2022-12-10 04:38:55 +01:00
- To add static assets (such as images for the splash screen), place them in the `./custom/assets/` directory. They'll then be available on `https://yourinstance.tld/static-assets/filename.ext` .
2022-11-30 19:51:12 +01:00
- 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` )
2022-11-15 09:23:53 +01:00
- To update custom assets without rebuilding, just run `yarn run gulp` .
2022-08-09 11:37:12 +02:00
2022-11-13 20:32:17 +01:00
## 🧑🔬 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.env` to `.config/docker.env` if you're using Docker.
2022-11-04 22:38:38 +01:00
## 🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey
> ⚠️ Because of their changes, migrating from Foundkey is not supported.
```sh
2022-11-13 20:32:17 +01:00
cp ../misskey/.config/default.yml ./.config/default.yml # replace `../misskey/` with misskey path, add `docker.env` if you use Docker
2022-11-04 22:38:38 +01:00
cp -r ../misskey/files . # if you don't use object storage
```
2022-11-04 22:43:00 +01:00
## 🍀 NGINX
2022-11-16 19:44:25 +01:00
- Run `sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/ && cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/`
2022-11-16 05:16:50 +01:00
- Edit `calckey.nginx.conf` to reflect your instance properly
- Run `sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf ../sites-enabled/`
- Run `sudo nginx -t` to validate that the config is valid, then restart the NGINX service.

## 😉 Tips & Tricks
2022-11-16 05:18:04 +01:00
- 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.
2022-11-16 05:19:53 +01:00
- 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 $(seq 3000 4000); do ss -tlnH | tr -s ' ' | cut -d" " -sf4 | grep -q "${p}$" || echo "${p}"; done | head -n 1`
2022-11-24 02:55:38 +01:00
- I'd recommend you use a S3 Bucket/CDN for Object Storage, especially if you use Docker.
2022-11-16 05:16:50 +01:00
- I'd ** *strongly*** recommend against using CloudFlare, but if you do, make sure to turn code minification off.
2022-11-09 22:17:39 +01:00
- For push notifications, run `npx web-push generate-vapid-keys` , the put the public and private keys into Control Panel > General > ServiceWorker.
- For translations, make a [DeepL ](https://deepl.com ) account and generate an API key, then put it into Control Panel > General > DeepL Translation.
2022-11-15 01:53:08 +01:00
- To add another admin account:
2022-11-16 05:16:50 +01:00
- 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';` (replace `999999` with the copied ID)
- Have the new admin log out and log back in
