🌠 Getting started

This guide will work for both starting from scratch and migrating from Misskey.

📦 Dependencies

  • At least 🐢 NodeJS v16.15.0 (v18.12.1 recommended)

⚠️ NodeJS v19 is not supported as of right now because of this issue.

  • 🧶 At least Yarn v3

  • 🐘 At least PostgreSQL v12

  • 🍱 At least Redis v6 (v7 recommended)

  • 🛰️ (Optional, for non-Docker) pm2

👀 Get folder ready

git clone https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/calckey.git
cd calckey/
# git checkout main # if you want only stable versions

📩 Install dependencies

# nvm install 18 && nvm alias default 18 && nvm use 18
corepack enable

💅 Customize

  • To add custom CSS for all users, edit ./custom/instance.css.
  • To add static assets (such as images for the splash screen), place them in the ./custom/ directory. They'll then be avaliable on https://yourinstance.tld/static-assets/filename.ext.

🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey

⚠️ Because of their changes, migrating from Foundkey is not supported.

cp ../misskey/.config/default.yml ./.config/default.yml # replace `../misskey/` with misskey path, replace `default.yml` with `docker.yml` if you use docker
cp -r ../misskey/files . # if you don't use object storage

😉 Tips & Tricks

  • To generate ServiceWorker keys, run npx web-push generate-vapid-keys
  • I'd strongly recommend against using CloudFlare, but if you do, make sure to turn code minification off.
