takahē

A very experimental Fediverse server for microblogging/"toots". Not fully functional yet - I'm still working on making all the basic bits work!

Indended features:

  • Can run on serverless hosting (no need for worker daemons)
  • Multiple account domains possible per server
  • Async evented core for fan-out/delivery
  • Mastodon client API compatible (eventually)

Deployment

Requirements:

  • Python 3.11
  • PostgreSQL 14+
  • Lots of patience This is very experimental

Setup

More deployment docs will come soon! Just know that you need to run the Takahē Django app, and then either hit /.stator/runner/ or run ./manage.py runstator at least every 30 seconds.

Roadmap

Takahē is still under very active development towards something I'm willing to call a beta. I've grouped features here into milestones, along with if they're done yet or not. None of this is final, and the further into the future it is, the less sure I am about it.
