# 🌠 Getting started
|
||
|
||
This guide will work for both **starting from scratch** and **migrating from Misskey**.
|
||
|
||
## 🔰 Easy installers
|
||
|
||
If you have access to a server that supports one of the sources below, I recommend you use it! Note that these methods *won't* allow you to migrate from Misskey without manual intervention.
|
||
|
||
[](https://codeberg.org/calckey/ubuntu-bash-install) [](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/calckey) [](https://install-app.yunohost.org/?app=calckey)
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 🧑💻 Dependencies
|
||
|
||
- 🐢 At least [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/) v18.12.1 (v19 recommended)
|
||
- Install with [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm)
|
||
- 🐘 At least [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) v12
|
||
- 🍱 At least [Redis](https://redis.io/) v6 (v7 recommend)
|
||
|
||
### 😗 Optional dependencies
|
||
|
||
- [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/) for video transcoding
|
||
- [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/) for full-text search
|
||
- OpenSearch/Sonic are not supported as of right now
|
||
- Management (choose one of the following)
|
||
- 🛰️ [pm2](https://pm2.io/)
|
||
- 🐳 [Docker](https://docker.com)
|
||
- Service manager (systemd, openrc, etc)
|
||
|
||
### 🏗️ Build dependencies
|
||
|
||
- 🦬 C/C++ compiler & build tools
|
||
- `build-essential` on Debian/Ubuntu Linux
|
||
- `base-devel` on Arch Linux
|
||
- 🐍 [Python 3](https://www.python.org/)
|
||
|
||
## 👀 Get folder ready
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone https://lavaforge.org/calckey/calckey.git
|
||
cd calckey/
|
||
# git checkout main # if you want only stable versions
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 📩 Install dependencies
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# nvm install 19 && nvm use 19
|
||
corepack enable
|
||
corepack prepare pnpm@latest --activate
|
||
pnpm i
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 🐘 Create database
|
||
|
||
Assuming you set up PostgreSQL correctly, all you have to run is:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
psql postgres -c "create database calckey with encoding = 'UTF8';"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 💅 Customize
|
||
|
||
- To add custom CSS for all users, edit `./custom/assets/instance.css`.
|
||
- To add static assets (such as images for the splash screen), place them in the `./custom/assets/` directory. They'll then be available on `https://yourinstance.tld/static-assets/filename.ext`.
|
||
- To add custom locales, place them in the `./custom/locales/` directory. If you name your custom locale the same as an existing locale, it will overwrite it. If you give it a unique name, it will be added to the list. Also make sure that the first part of the filename matches the locale you're basing it on. (Example: `en-FOO.yml`)
|
||
- To update custom assets without rebuilding, just run `pnpm run gulp`.
|
||
|
||
## 🧑🔬 Configuring a new instance
|
||
|
||
- Run `cp .config/example.yml .config/default.yml`
|
||
- Edit `.config/default.yml`, making sure to fill out required fields.
|
||
- Also copy and edit `.config/docker_example.env` to `.config/docker.env` if you're using Docker.
|
||
|
||
## 🚚 Migrating from Misskey to Calckey
|
||
|
||
> ⚠️ Because of their changes, migrating from Foundkey is not supported.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cp ../misskey/.config/default.yml ./.config/default.yml # replace `../misskey/` with misskey path, add `docker.env` if you use Docker
|
||
cp -r ../misskey/files .
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 🍀 NGINX
|
||
|
||
- Run `sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/ && cd /etc/nginx/sites-available/`
|
||
- Edit `calckey.nginx.conf` to reflect your instance properly
|
||
- Run `sudo cp ./calckey.nginx.conf ../sites-enabled/`
|
||
- Run `sudo nginx -t` to validate that the config is valid, then restart the NGINX service.

|
||
|
||
## 🚀 Build and launch!
|
||
|
||
### 🐢 NodeJS + pm2
|
||
|
||
#### `git pull` and run these steps to update Calckey in the future!
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
# git pull
|
||
NODE_ENV=production pnpm install && pnpm run build && pnpm run migrate
|
||
pm2 start "NODE_ENV=production pnpm run start" --name Calckey
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### 🐋 Docker
|
||
|
||
[How to run Calckey with Docker](./docker-README.md).
|
||
|
||
## 😉 Tips & Tricks
|
||
|
||
- When editing the config file, please don't fill out the settings at the bottom. They're designed *only* for managed hosting, not self hosting. Those settings are much better off being set in Calckey's control panel.
|
||
- Port 3000 (used in the default config) might be already used on your server for something else. To find an open port for Calckey, run `for p in {3000..4000}; do ss -tlnH | tr -s ' ' | cut -d" " -sf4 | grep -q "${p}$" || echo "${p}"; done | head -n 1`. Replace 3000 with the minimum port and 4000 with the maximum port if you need it.
|
||
- I'd recommend you use a S3 Bucket/CDN for Object Storage, especially if you use Docker.
|
||
- I'd ***strongly*** recommend against using CloudFlare, but if you do, make sure to turn code minification off.
|
||
- For push notifications, run `npx web-push generate-vapid-keys`, then put the public and private keys into Control Panel > General > ServiceWorker.
|
||
- For translations, make a [DeepL](https://deepl.com) account and generate an API key, then put it into Control Panel > General > DeepL Translation.
|
||
- To add another admin account:
|
||
- Go to the user's page > 3 Dots > About > Moderation > turn on "Moderator"
|
||
- Go back to Overview > click the clipboard icon next to the ID
|
||
- Run `psql -d calckey` (or whatever the database name is)
|
||
- Run `UPDATE "user" SET "isAdmin" = true WHERE id='999999';` (replace `999999` with the copied ID)
|
||
- Have the new admin log out and log back in
