a self-hosted micro-website with social network features.
run one script and get your own website which fits into the free-usage tier of supported hosting providers (which means no initial cost to you).
post, share, and follow your friends and acquaintances like any other social network, but without the Big-Tech ads and privacy invasion.
Alewife is still in its very early stages and its setup instructions currently assume a certain level of technical know-how (hopefully this will be changing in the very near future). but for right now:
- install Docker and git
- sign up with a supported hosting provider
or, if you have a computer of your own which is always on and always online, you can use ngrok instead of a hosting provider.
- create and save an API or access token for your hosting provider
- clone this repository
- run
./installer/linux/setup.sh
please help! download it and give it a whirl, or even better, help me build more features!
- support for more hosting providers
- support for installers on other operating systems
