Ekster

A Microsub server.

Installation

The Docker image ghci.io/pstuifzand/ekster:dev contains the development version of this server. It has dependencies on Postgresql and Redis.

Use the docker-compose.yml file to get an idea of how to use Ekster in Docker.

Start the server with database and redis using docker-compose.

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f web

This will start Ekster on http://localhost:8089/. When you log in for the first time. It will generate a user for you, and show the microsub url that you can use.

⚠️ This will not work with Microsub readers that expect the server to be accessible on the internet. In that you should use a more advanced setup.
