Build Status

A bot that posts (currently only local) images to the Fediverse.

Compatible with Mastodon, Misskey and Pleroma!

Downloading pre-built binaries

Download prebuilt binaries from here (currently only supports x64), or build from source, instructions below.

Running from Source

  1. You need to have npm and nodejs installed.
  • Node 15 or greater is required.
  1. Install yarn:
    npm install --global yarn
  • This may be need to ran with sudo depending on your installation.

  1. Clone the repository:
    git clone https://git.freecumextremist.com/NotSam/fediverse-imagebot.git

  2. Install dependencies:
    yarn --production

  3. Build:
    yarn build

  4. Run the bot:
    yarn local

You're done! The bot should post a local image to the fediverse instance of your choosing!

Running the bot

  1. Obtain a token. I have another tool that does this for you, which can be found here and put it in config.json, following the sample json file.

  2. Put images in the images folder.

  • By default the bot will look for SFW images at images/sfw and NSFW images at images/nsfw. This can be configured with the -d flag.

Automating the bot

TODO: Elaborate more

The bot can be automated to post images at set times using a cronjob.
Example cron configuration:

0 * * * * cd /path/to/fediverse-imagebot && /usr/local/bin/yarn local -m "Message"

This example will run the bot every hour on the hour with the post message Message using images from the default images directory.

An example of this pleroma configuration can be found at https://froth.zone/rinbot.
