> Cross-instance share page for Mastodon
|
||
|
||
[toot] allows you to share stuff on Mastodon, cross-instance. Just put in your
|
||
post text and the instance URL and click ‘Toot!’
|
||
|
||
And if you open this page with `text` URL parameter, it will be auto-inserted
|
||
in the text field. The same goes for the `instance` URL parameter. This can be
|
||
used to build custom share buttons for Mastodon:
|
||
|
||
```html
|
||
<a href="https://toot.kytta.dev/?text=Hello%20world!&instance=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.xyz">
|
||
Share on Mastodon
|
||
</a>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The instance URL can be saved in your `localStorage` to be automatically
|
||
appended later — handy!
|
||
|
||
## Hosting
|
||
|
||
### One-click Vercel deploy
|
||
|
||
For now, toot is a tad bit vendor-locked to run on
|
||
[Vercel](https://vercel.com/). To deploy it yourself, you can use the following
|
||
button:
|
||
|
||
[](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fkytta%2Ftoot)
|
||
|
||
### Host it yourself
|
||
|
||
Self-hosting toot outside of Vercel requires some extra setup:
|
||
|
||
1. Make sure you have got Node.js v12 or later as well as pnpm installed
|
||
|
||
2. Build the static part of toot:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
pnpm install # to install dependencies
|
||
pnpm run build # to build the website
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Run the backend server for the form:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
node api/toot.js
|
||
```
|
||
or if you want to run the process in the background:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
pm2 start api/toot.js --watch --ignore-watch="node_modules"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> You can find a summary for pm2 at: https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/quick-start/
|
||
|
||
4. Set up webserver
|
||
|
||
1. Apache
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
DocumentRoot "path_to_toot/public"
|
||
|
||
ProxyPass "/api/toot" "http://localhost:8000/"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Nginx
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
root path_to_toot/public;
|
||
index.html;
|
||
|
||
location /api/toot {
|
||
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000/;
|
||
}
|
||
```
