Fedilogue

Fedilogue is a fediverse cataloging and search platform. The intention is to create a centralized search system for use by fediverse users and APIs.

How does Fedilogue gather data?

Fedilogue employs multiple methods to gather post and account data.

• Through publicly accessible timelines
• Through privately accessible timelines, requiring an account on a given instance
• Through publicly accessible relays
• Through followed users using a mass following agent (planned)

Supported Instances

Fedilogue can receive posts from any instance that supports the ActivityPub protocol. However, it can only pull from instances that use the Mastodon API, which includes Pleroma.

How to run

Go version

This code was written on Go 1.16.

Build Fedilogue

git clone https://gitlab.com/khanzf/fedilogue
cd fedilogue/fedilogue
go build

There should now be a fedilogue executable in the project directory.

Fedilogue Control

cd fedilogue/fedictl
go build

Using the executable fedictl, you can now view the running state of instances or manually add a new instance for polling.

Configuration

Fedilogue is configured by the config.jsonc file. Start by copying the config.jsonc.sample file to config.jsonc and edit the file with your use-case values. The configuration file is written in jsonc and has enclosed explanations that should be self-explanatory.
