Pausing development on this project for now but I am potentially open to returning to it in the future

Webmention Server (TypeScript)

Welcome to the repo!

This project is mostly for learning purposes. It also powers my personal blog's webmentions (https://cobysher.dev/blog).

It should pass almost all of the tests on webmention.rocks save for one of the more edgecase ones (one of the twenties, I forgot exactly which one).

Architecture and Tech Used

  • Node Bull + Redis for the queue
  • Postgres for the RDBMS
  • TypeScript + express.js for the webserver
  • Docker & docker-compose (podman) to glue it all together

Run it Locally

  1. Copy the .env.example to .env
  2. Fill in the vars
  3. podman-compose up -d

If you want to build the image locally with semver tags, use ./podman.build.sh [MAJOR|MINOR|PATCH]. It will build the current Dockerfile and tag the image with latest and the semver bump specified. You don't need to use this, but I think it's neat.
