bovine-herd 0.2.5

No project description provided

bovine_herd

bovine_herd is a bovine powered ActivityPub server, which interoperates with the rest of the FediVerse.

Running:

pip install bovine_herd
hypercorn bovine_herd:app

This will start bovine_herd using an sqlite3 database.

Interacting with the fediverse

Assume that you alias $DOMAIN so that it redirects to the above server, e.g. via....

Then by running

pip install bovine_tool
python -mbovine_tool.register --domain $DOMAIN moocow

you create a new account for moocow. This command returns its bovine name, which will be of the form moocow + uuid4(), e.g. moocow_09c80006-483c-4826-b48c-cf5134b4e898. By running:

python -mbovine_tool.manage --new_did_key $BOVINE_NAME

you will be given a secret (an Ed25519 private key, i.e. starts with z3u2). Once you have this secret, you can send a message via

python -mbovine.msg --secret $SECRET --host $DOMAIN moooo

Configuration

The default database connection is "sqlite://bovine.sqlite3". This can be overwridden with the environment variable "BOVINE_DB_URL".

• BOVINE_REDIS represents how to reach redis, e.g. redis://localhost. If not set, redis is not used. Redis is necessary when using more than one worker.
• BOVINE_LOGFILE gives the path of the log file. When not present bovine.log is used.
