Forget is a post deleting service for Twitter and Mastodon. It lives at
|
|
<https://forget.codl.fr>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running your own
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
* Postgresql
|
|
* Redis
|
|
* Python 3.6+
|
|
* Node.js 10+
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Set up venv
|
|
|
|
Setting up a venv will isolate Forget from your system's libraries and allow you to install
|
|
dependencies locally as a normal user. It's not necessary but it is recommended!
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ python -m venv venv
|
|
$ source venv/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you're using `zsh` or `fish` as a shell, substitute `venv/bin/activate` with
|
|
`venv/bin/activate.zsh` or `venv/bin/activate.fish`, respectively.
|
|
|
|
You will need to "activate" the venv in every new terminal before you can use
|
|
pip or any python tools included in dependencies (honcho, flask...)
|
|
|
|
### Download and install dependencies
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
$ npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Wow!! Exciting
|
|
|
|
### Create and complete config file
|
|
|
|
Gotta set up those, paths, and stuff.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ cp config.example.py config.py
|
|
$ $EDITOR config.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Set up database schema
|
|
|
|
If you haven't started postgresql yet now would be a great time to do that.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ createdb forget # if you havent created the DB yet
|
|
$ env FLASK_APP=forget.py flask db upgrade
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Build static assets
|
|
|
|
Gonna do it...!
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ doit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Done did it.
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
The included `Procfile` will run the app server and the background worker.
|
|
`honcho`, a `Procfile` runner, is included as a dependency:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ honcho start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The application server will listen on `http://127.0.0.1:42157`.
|
|
You'll want to use your favourite web server to proxy traffic to it.
|
|
<small>This author suggests Caddy.</small>
|
|
|
|
### Development
|
|
|
|
For development, you may want to use `Procfile.dev`, which starts flask in
|
|
debug mode and rebuilds the static assets automatically when they change
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ honcho -f Procfile.dev start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or you could just look at `Procfile.dev` and run those things manually. It's up
|
|
to you.
|
|
|
|
You can run the (currently very incomplete) test suite by running `pytest`.
|
|
You'll need redis installed on your development machine, a temporary redis
|
|
server will be started and shut down automatically by the test suite.
