🌠 Getting started

This guide will work for both starting from scratch and migrating from Misskey.

📦 Dependencies

⚠️ NodeJS v19 is not supported as of right now because of this issue.

• 🧶 At least Yarn v3

• 🐘 At least PostgreSQL v12

• 🍱 At least Redis v6 (v7 recommended)

👀 Get folder ready

git clone https://codeberg.org/thatonecalculator/calckey.git
cd calckey/
# git checkout main # if you want only stable versions

📩 Install dependencies

# nvm install 18 && nvm alias default 18 && nvm use 18
corepack enable
yarn set version berry

💅 Customize

• To add custom CSS for all users, edit ./custom/instance.css.
• To add static assets (such as images for the splash screen), place them in the ./custom/ directory. They'll then be avaliable on https://yourinstance.tld/static-assets/filename.ext.

🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey

⚠️ Because of their changes, migrating from Foundkey is not supported.

cp ../misskey/.config/default.yml ./.config/default.yml # replace `../misskey/` with misskey path, replace `default.yml` with `docker.yml` if you use docker
cp -r ../misskey/files . # if you don't use object storage
