# Pinafore [](https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/gh/nolanlawson/pinafore)
|
|
|
|
An alternative web client for [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org), focused on speed and simplicity.
|
|
|
|
Pinafore is available at [pinafore.social](https://pinafore.social). Beta releases are at [dev.pinafore.social](https://dev.pinafore.social).
|
|
|
|
See the [user guide](https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/blob/master/docs/User-Guide.md) for basic usage. See the [admin guide](https://github.com/nolanlawson/pinafore/blob/master/docs/Admin-Guide.md) if Pinafore cannot connect to your instance.

## Browser support
|
|
|
|
Pinafore supports the latest versions of the following browsers:
|
|
|
|
- Chrome
|
|
- Edge
|
|
- Firefox
|
|
- Safari
|
|
|
|
Compatible versions of each (Opera, Brave, Samsung, etc.) should be fine.
|
|
|
|
## Goals and non-goals
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Secondary / possible future goals

|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Pinafore requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/) v8+ and [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com).
|
|
|
|
To build Pinafore for production, first install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
yarn --production --pure-lockfile
|
|
|
|
Then build:
|
|
|
|
yarn build
|
|
|
|
Then run:
|
|
|
|
PORT=4002 node server.js
|
|
|
|
### Docker
|
|
|
|
To build a Docker image for production:
|
|
|
|
docker build .
|
|
docker run -d -p 4002:4002 [your-image]
|
|
|
|
Now Pinafore is running at `localhost:4002`.
|
|
|
|
### docker-compose
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, use docker-compose to build and serve the image for production:
|
|
|
|
docker-compose up --build -d
|
|
|
|
The image will build and start, then detach from the terminal running at `localhost:4002`.
|
|
|
|
### Updating
|
|
|
|
To keep your version of Pinafore up to date, you can use `git` to check out the latest tag:
|
|
|
|
git checkout $(git tag -l | sort -Vr | head -n 1)
|
|
|
|
### Exporting
|
|
|
|
Pinafore is a static site. When you run `yarn build`, static files will be
|
|
written to `__sapper__/export`.
|
|
|
|
In theory you could host these static files yourself (e.g. using nginx or Apache), but
|
|
it's not recommended, because:
|
|
|
|
- You'd have to set the [CSP](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP) headers yourself,
|
|
which are an important security feature.
|
|
- Some routes are dynamic and need to be routed to the correct static file.
|

## What's with the name?
|
|
|
|
Pinafore is named after the [Gilbert and Sullivan play](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hms_pinafore). The [soundtrack](https://www.allmusic.com/album/gilbert-sullivan-hms-pinafore-1949-mw0001830483) is very good.
