Bridgy Fed Circle CI Coverage Status

Got an IndieWeb site? Want to interact with people on Mastodon, GNU Social, and more? Bridgy Fed is for you.

https://fed.brid.gy/

Bridgy Fed connects the IndieWeb with federated social networks using ActivityPub and OStatus:

Development

You'll need the App Engine Python SDK version 1.9.15 or later (for vendor support) or the Google Cloud SDK (aka gcloud) with the gcloud-appengine-python and gcloud-appengine-python-extras components. Add it to your $PYTHONPATH, e.g. export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/google_appengine, and then run:

virtualenv local
source local/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m unittest discover

The last command runs the unit tests. If you send a pull request, please include (or update) a test for the new functionality!

If you hit an error during setup, check out the oauth-dropins Troubleshooting/FAQ section. For searchability, here are a handful of error messages that have solutions there:

bash: ./bin/easy_install: ...bad interpreter: No such file or directory

ImportError: cannot import name certs

ImportError: No module named dev_appserver

ImportError: cannot import name tweepy

File ".../site-packages/tweepy/auth.py", line 68, in _get_request_token
  raise TweepError(e)
TweepError: must be _socket.socket, not socket

error: option --home not recognized

You may need to change granary, oauth-dropins, webmention-tools, mf2util, or other dependencies as well as as Bridgy Fed. To do that, clone their repo locally, then install them in "source" mode with e.g.:

pip uninstall -y granary
pip install -e <path to granary>
ln -s <path to granary>/granary \
  local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/granary

The symlinks are necessary because App Engine's vendor module evidently doesn't follow .egg-link or .pth files. :/

To deploy to App Engine, run:

gcloud -q app deploy --project bridgy-federated *.yaml

Compatibility

Here are in progress notes on how I'm testing interoperability with various federated social networks.
