Calckey

Calckey is Fediverse "social media" software similar to Mastodon.

Below are some notes about a test installation setup.

Dependencies

Tested on Debian 11 (Stable/Bullseye).

Not using Docker or Elasticsearch.

Install some dependencies from Debian repos:

apt update
apt install build-essential curl python3 python-is-python3 postgresql \
            ffmpeg

apt install -t bullseye-backports redis

Calckey recommends using nvm to manage NodeJS versions. So run:

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash

The log out/in or run:

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"

Then install the right version of npm with nvm:

nvm install 19
nvm use 19

Confirm correct version is running:

node -v

Thusly.

git clone https://codeberg.org/calckey/calckey
cd calckey/

Install calckey NodeJS dependencies:

corepack enable
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate
pnpm i
# pnpm i --no-optional # without Tensorflow. Downloads it anyway.

Setup thusly.

Database creation (change username at end):

sudo -u postgres createuser --createdb debian

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

Configure thusly.

Set, like my example:

cp .config/example.yml .config/default.yml
$EDITOR .config/default.yml
