    Interesting:

    BotKit is a TypeScript framework for creating standalone ActivityPub bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other fediverse platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

    I wish more open source projects would tell you what the thing does haha.









  • Yep take a look, theres quite a few examples, but they use Github Actions, CircleCI, Gitlab etc… etc…

    Most CI/CD that use the above-ish model will use the same kinda scripts (bash or otherwise). Basically if you can do it on your desptop, you can automate it on a server. Make it work first, then try to make it better.

    Most of the time, ill throw my Docker/Docker Compose (and/or terraform if need be) on the root of the repo and do the same steps I do on the development side for building/testing on the CI side. Then switch over to CD with either a new machine (docker build/ compose) or throw it all on a new server. At that point, if you script it out correctly, it doesnt really matter what kind of server you use for CI/CD, since they are all linux boxes at the end of the day.

    You can also mix it up by using bare metal, docker alternatives, different password managers, QA tools, linters, etc…etc…

    But virtualization will get you quite far. In my opinion start with just trying to get the project to build on another server via a script from scratch, then transfer it over to the CI. Then go with testing/deployment.

    GL!









  • I think the biggest issue is most people dont know what they are using to begin with. If you ask them, they will say they are not using Linux. While on an Android phone, with a router that may have linux (or at least some sort of nix), with servers that are likely Linux.

    They only see the base platform (like mastodon). They wont know what the fediverse is, but they are “using” it. Ive seen the phenomenon with some of the newer people to mastodon, pixelfed, etc…

    But yeah we are NOT salespeople lol. The good ones can make money selling just about anything. We are an active money sink (but thats ok).
