collective.bluesky

collective.bluesky is a package providing a Plone content rules action to post a status to Bluesky.

Installation

This package supports Plone sites using Volto and ClassicUI.

For proper Volto support, the requirements are:

• plone.restapi >= 8.34.0
• Volto >= 16.10.0

Add collective.bluesky to the Plone installation using pip:

pip install collective.bluesky

or add it as a dependency on your package's setup.py

    install_requires = [
        "collective.bluesky",
        "Plone",
        "plone.restapi",
        "setuptools",
    ],

Configuration

Obtaining an App Password

Before you can use this package, you have to register an App Password on Bluesky. To do so, log in to your account, visit App Password and add a new App Password. Go to the newly created application page and copy the value of Your access token.

Configuring Plone

This package is configured via the BLUESKY_APPS environment variable which should contain a valid JSON array with your Bluesky Application information.

Each application registration requires the following information:

Key	Description	Example Value
host	Hostname of the instance to be used. Default value: bsky.app	sandbox.tld
handle	Handle used to log in the host (without the @)	demo
app_password	Application password	1232434323234
protocol	Host protocol. Default value: https	https

Using the information above, the environment variable would look like:

BLUESKY_APPS='[{"host":"bsky.app","handle":"demo","app_password":"1232434323234"}]'

Starting Plone

Now, you can start your local Plone installation with:

BLUESKY_APPS='[{"host":"bsky.app","handle":"demo","app_password":"1232434323234"}]' make start

or, if you are using a docker compose configuration, add the new environment variable under the environment key:

    environment:
      - BLUESKY_APPS=[{"host":"bsky.app","handle":"demo","app_password":"1232434323234"}]

After start-up visit the Content Rules Control Panel, and create a new content rule.

No additional configuration is needed for Volto support.
