# 🌠 Getting started

This guide will work for both **starting from scratch** and **migrating from Misskey**.

## 📦 Dependencies

- 🐢 At least [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) v18.12.1 (v19 recommended)
  - Install with [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
- 🐘 At least [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) v12
- 🍱 At least [Redis](https://redis.io/) v6 (v7 recommend)

### 😗 Optional dependencies

- [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for video transcoding
- [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/) for full-text search
  - OpenSearch/Sonic are not supported as of right now
- Management (choose one of the following)
  - 🛰️ [pm2](https://pm2.io/)
  - 🐳 [Docker](https://docker.com)
  - Service manager (systemd, openrc, etc)

### 🏗️ Build dependencies

- 🦬 C/C++ compiler & build tools
  - `build-essential` on Debian/Ubuntu Linux
  - `base-devel` on Arch Linux
- 🐍 [Python 3](https://www.python.org/)

## 👀 Get folder ready

```sh
git clone https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey.git
cd calckey/
# git checkout main # if you want only stable versions
```

## 📩 Install dependencies

```sh
# nvm install 18 && nvm alias default 18 && nvm use 18
corepack enable
```

## 🐘 Create database

Assuming you set up PostgreSQL correctly, all you have to run is:

```sh
psql postgres -c "create database calckey with encoding = 'UTF8';"
```

## 💅 Customize

- To add custom CSS for all users, edit `./custom/assets/instance.css`.
- 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`.
- 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`)
- To update custom assets without rebuilding, just run `yarn run gulp`.

## 🧑‍🔬 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.

## 🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey

> ⚠️ Because of their changes, migrating from Foundkey is not supported.

```sh
cp ../misskey/.config/default.yml ./.config/default.yml # replace `../misskey/` with misskey path, add `docker.env` if you use Docker
cp -r ../misskey/files . # if you don't use object storage
```

## 🍀 NGINX

- Run `sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/ && cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/`
- 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.

</details>

## 🚀 Build and launch!

### 🐢 NodeJS + pm2

#### `git pull` and run these steps to update Calckey in the future!

```sh
# git pull
yarn install
NODE_ENV=production yarn run rebuild && yarn run migrate
pm2 start "NODE_ENV=production yarn start" --name Calckey
```

### 🐋 Docker

[How to run Calckey with Docker](./docker-README.md).

## 😉 Tips & Tricks

- 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.
- 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`
- I'd recommend you use a S3 Bucket/CDN for Object Storage, especially if you use Docker. 
- I'd ***strongly*** recommend against using CloudFlare, but if you do, make sure to turn code minification off.
- 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.
- To add another admin account:
  - 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
