Build Status

A bot that posts images to the Fediverse.

Should be compatible with Mastodon, Misskey and Pleroma!

Quick start guide

  1. You need to have npm and nodejs installed.

  2. 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

  3. Build:
    yarn build

  4. Obtain a token. This can be done with an external tool or obtained by running yarn token and following the directions.

  • yarn token will generate a configuration file located at config.json
  1. 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.
  1. Run the bot:
    yarn bot

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

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 && yarn bot -m "Message"

This example will run the bot every hour on the hour with the post message Message.

Additional information

Additional help can be found by running yarn bot -h or yarn token -h.
