[](code_of_conduct.md) ## What is this? This is a project to create a federated social network based on the [Lysand](https://lysand.org) protocol. It is currently in alpha phase, with basic federation and API support. This project aims to be a fully featured social network, with a focus on privacy, security, and performance. It will implement the Mastodon API for support with clients that already support Mastodon or Pleroma. > **Note:** This project is not affiliated with Mastodon or Pleroma, and is not a fork of either project. It is a new project built from the ground up. ## Features - [x] Inbound federation - [x] Hyper fast (thousands of HTTP requests per second) - [x] S3 or local media storage - [x] Deduplication of uploaded files - [x] Federation limits - [x] Configurable defaults - [x] Full regex-based filters for posts, users and media - [x] Custom emoji support - [x] Automatic image conversion to WebP or other formats - [x] Scripting-compatible CLI with JSON and CSV outputs - [ ] Moderation tools - [ ] Full Mastodon API support - [ ] Outbound federation ## Benchmarks > **Note**: These benchmarks are not representative of real-world performance, and are only meant to be used as a rough guide. ### Timeline Benchmarks You may run the following command to benchmark the `/api/v1/timelines/home` endpoint: ```bash TOKEN=token_here bun benchmark:timeline ``` The `request_count` variable is optional and defaults to 100. `TOKEN` is your personal user token, used to login to the API. On a quad-core laptop: ``` $ bun run benchmarks/timelines.ts 100 ✓ All requests succeeded ✓ 100 requests fulfilled in 0.12611s ``` ``` $ bun run benchmarks/timelines.ts 1000 ✓ All requests succeeded ✓ 1000 requests fulfilled in 0.90925s ``` ``` $ bun run benchmarks/timelines.ts 10000 ✓ All requests succeeded ✓ 10000 requests fulfilled in 12.44852s ``` Lysand is extremely fast and can handle tens of thousands of HTTP requests per second on a good server. ## How do I run it? ### Requirements - The [Bun Runtime](https://bun.sh), version 1.0.5 or later (usage of the latest version is recommended) - A PostgreSQL database - (Optional but recommended) A Linux-based operating system - (Optional if you want search) A working Meiliseach instance > **Note**: We will not be offerring support to Windows or MacOS users. If you are using one of these operating systems, please use a virtual machine or container to run Lysand. ### Installation 1. Clone this repository ```bash git clone https://github.com/lysand-org/lysand.git ``` 2. Install the dependencies ```bash bun install ``` 3. Set up a PostgreSQL database, using the `pg_uuidv7` extension You may use the following [Dockerfile](Postgres.Dockerfile) to set it up: ```Dockerfile # Use the latest Postgres Docker image based on Alpine FROM postgres:alpine # Set working directory WORKDIR /usr/src/app # Install curl RUN apk add --no-cache curl RUN cd "$(mktemp -d)" \ && curl -LO "https://github.com/fboulnois/pg_uuidv7/releases/download/v1.3.0/{pg_uuidv7.tar.gz,SHA256SUMS}" \ && tar xf pg_uuidv7.tar.gz \ && sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS \ && PG_MAJOR=$(pg_config --version | sed 's/^.* \([0-9]\{1,\}\).*$/\1/') \ && cp "$PG_MAJOR/pg_uuidv7.so" "$(pg_config --pkglibdir)" \ && cp sql/pg_uuidv7--1.3.sql pg_uuidv7.control "$(pg_config --sharedir)/extension" # Add a script to run the CREATE EXTENSION command RUN echo '#!/bin/sh\npsql -U "$POSTGRES_USER" -d "$POSTGRES_DB" -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_uuidv7;"' > /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sh # Make the entrypoint script executable RUN chmod +x /docker-entrypoint-initdb.d/init.sh ``` 4. Copy the `config.toml.example` file to `config.toml` and fill in the values (you can leave most things to the default, but you will need to configure things such as the database connection) 5. Run migrations: ```bash bun migrate ``` 6. (If you want search) Create a Meilisearch instance (using Docker is recommended). For a [`docker-compose`] file, copy the `meilisearch` service from the [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) file. Set up Meiliseach's API key by passing the `MEILI_MASTER_KEY` environment variable to the server. Then, enale and configure search in the config file. ### Running To run the server, simply run the following command: ```bash bun start ``` ### Using the CLI Lysand includes a built-in CLI for managing the server. To use it, simply run the following command: ```bash bun cli ``` You can use the `help` command to see a list of available commands. These include creating users, deleting users and more. #### Scripting with the CLI Some CLI commands that return data as tables can be used in scripts. To do so, you can use the `--json` flag to output the data as JSON instead of a table, or even `--csv` to output the data as CSV. See `bun cli help` for more information. Flags can be used in any order and anywhere in the script (except for the `bun cli` command itself). The command arguments themselves must be in the correct order, however. ### Rebuilding the Search Index You may use the `bun cli index rebuild` command to automatically push all posts and users to Meilisearch, if it is configured. This is useful if you have just set up Meilisearch, or if you accidentally deleted something. ### Using Database Commands The `bun prisma` commands allows you to use Prisma commands without needing to add in environment variables for the database config. Just run Prisma commands as you would normally, replacing `bunx prisma` with `bun prisma`. ## With Docker > **Note**: Docker is currently broken, as Bun with Prisma does not work well with Docker yet for unknown reasons. The following instructions are for when this is fixed. > > These instructions will probably also work with Podman and other container runtimes. You can also run Lysand using Docker. To do so, you can: 1. Acquire the Postgres Dockerfile from above 2. Use this repository's [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml) file 3. Create the `lysand-net` docker network: ```bash docker network create lysand-net ``` 1. Fill in the config file (see [Installation](#installation)) 2. Run the following command: ```bash docker-compose up -d ``` You may need root privileges to run Docker commands. ### Running CLI commands inside Docker You can run CLI commands inside Docker using the following command: ```bash sudo docker exec -it lysand bun cli ... ``` ### Running migrations inside Docker You can run migrations inside Docker using the following command (if needed): ```bash sudo docker exec -it lysand bun migrate ``` ## Contributing Contributions are welcome!

It is not recommended to use this software in production. The following extensions are currently supported or being worked on: - `org.lysand:custom_emojis`: Custom emojis ## API Lysand implements the Mastodon API, with some extensions.
