> Instance-agnostic share page for the Fediverse. **[Share₂Fedi]** allows you to share stuff on Mastodon, GoToSocial, Pleroma, and other federated social networks, instance-agnostic. Just type in the post text and the instance URL, and click ‘Post!’ Or, open this page with the prefilled `text` URL parameter—it will be automatically inserted into the text field. The same goes for the `instance` URL parameter. This can be used to build custom share buttons for the federated social networks: ```html Share on mastodon.xyz ``` The instance URL can be saved in your `localStorage` to be automatically appended if used later—handy! ## Hosting ### Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages **Share₂Fedi** was designed to run on [Vercel](https://vercel.com/), but you can also run it on [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) or [Cloudflare Pages](https://pages.cloudflare.com/). To deploy it yourself (it's free!), you can use the following buttons: [](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkytta%2Fshare2fedi) [](https://app.netlify.com/start/deploy?repository=https://github.com/kytta/share2fedi) To deploy to Cloudflare Pages, fork the repo and [follow the instructions](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/deploy/cloudflare/#how-to-deploy-a-site-with-git). ### Host it yourself Self-hosting **Share₂Fedi** outside of Vercel requires some extra setup: **Prerequisites:** modern Node.js (v16 or later), `pnpm`. 1. Install dependencies. ```sh pnpm install ``` 2. Build. ```sh pnpm build ``` 3. Run server. > By default, this will only listen on localhost port 3000. To enable > listening on a ceratin hostand/or port, set the `HOST` and `PORT` > environment variables, respectively. ```sh node dist/server/entry.mjs ``` alternatively, if you want to run the process in the background: ```sh pm2 start dist/server/entry.mjs --watch --ignore-watch="node_modules" ``` > You can find a summary for pm2 at: > https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/quick-start/ > More information about self-hosting an Astro website with Node: > https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/integrations-guide/node/#standalone 4. Set up a reverse proxy. Basically, you need to run a reverse proxy that would redirect all incoming requests to `localhost:3000`. Here's how to achieve this in various HTTP servers: 1. Apache ```apacheconf ProxyPass "/" "http://localhost:3000/" ``` 2. Nginx ```nginxconf location / { proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/; } ``` 3. Caddy ```caddy reverse_proxy :3000 ``` ## See also **[📯 Shareon](https://shareon.js.org)** (lightweight, stylish, and ethical share buttons) uses **Share₂Fedi** under the hood! ## Licence © 2020–2022 [Nikita Karamov]\ Licensed under the [GNU Affero General Public License, version 3][AGPL-3.0]. --- This project is hosted on GitHub: [AGPL-3.0]: https://spdx.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0-only.html [Nikita Karamov]: https://www.kytta.dev [Share₂Fedi]: https://s2f.kytta.dev/
