# 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.
