A self-hosted, single-user, ActivityPub powered microblog.

builds.sr.ht status AGPL 3.0

Instances in the wild:

  * microblog.pub (follow to get updated about the project)
  * hexa.ninja (theme customization example)
  * testing.microblog.pub

There are still some rough edges, but the server is mostly
functional.

Features

  * Implements the ActivityPub server to server protocol
      + Federate with all the other popular ActivityPub servers like
        Pleroma, PixelFed, PeerTube, Mastodon...
      + Consume most of the content types available (notes, articles,
        videos, pictures...)
  * Exposes your ActivityPub profile as a minimalist microblog
      + Author notes in Markdown, with code highlighting support
      + Dedicated section for articles/blog posts (enabled when the
        first article is posted)
  * Lightweight
      + Uses SQLite, and no external dependencies except Python 3.10+
      + Can be deployed on small VPS
  * Privacy-aware
      + EXIF metadata (like GPS location) are stripped before storage
      + Every media is proxied through the server
      + Strict access control for your outbox enforced via HTTP
        signature
  * No Javascript
      + The UI is pure HTML/CSS
      + Except tiny bits of hand-written JS in the note composer to
        insert emoji and add alt text to images
  * IndieWeb citizen
      + IndieAuth support (OAuth2 extension)
      + Microformats everywhere
      + Micropub support
      + Sends and processes Webmentions
      + RSS/Atom/JSON feed
  * Easy to backup
      + Everything is stored in the data/ directory: config, uploads,
        secrets and the SQLite database.
