Modules
Like any Django system, kepi consists of a set of interacting modules. (Django calls these "apps", confusingly.) In theory, it should be possible to pull any of these modules out and use them in another project.
trilby_api
Trilby implements the Mastodon protocol. It also holds the microblogging data-- user details, statuses, and so on.
bowler_pub
Bowler implements the ActivityPub protocol. It receives incoming messages from other servers, validates them, and acts upon them. It's also responsible for fetching ActivityPub objects from other servers.
sombrero_sendpub
Sombrero delivers messages to other ActivityPub servers. As part of this, it handles webfinger lookup.
tophat_ui
Tophat handles the web UI. At present, we don't have much of a web interface:
Tophat produces only the root page. Eventually it will produce HTML pages,
and possibly Atom feeds, for user pages (when these are requested by a
browser, via the Accept header).
It should also have a general web UI as an alternative to using a client program. Given the fact that we implement the Mastodon protocol, it's possible we can just merge in Mastodon's entire web UI.
busby_1st
Busby handles incoming webfinger lookups, as well as the other .well-known services
such as host-meta.
