# fediverse.space 🌐
The map of the fediverse that you always wanted.
![A screenshot of fediverse.space](screenshot.png)
## Requirements
- For everything:
- Docker
- Docker-compose
- For the scraper + API:
- Python 3
- For laying out the graph:
- Java
- For the frontend:
- Yarn
## Running it
### Backend
- `cp example.env .env` and modify environment variables as required
- `docker-compose build`
- `docker-compose up -d django`
- if you don't specify `django`, it'll also start `gephi` which should only be run as a regular one-off job
- to run in production, run `caddy` rather than `django`
### Frontend
- `cd frontend && yarn install`
- `yarn start`
## Commands
### Backend
After running the backend in Docker:
- `docker-compose exec web python manage.py scrape` scrapes the fediverse
- It only scrapes instances that have not been scraped in the last 24 hours.
- By default, it'll only scrape 50 instances in one go. If you want to scrape everything, pass the `--all` flag.
- `docker-compose exec web python manage.py build_edges` aggregates this information into edges with weights
- `docker-compose run gephi java -Xmx1g -jar build/libs/graphBuilder.jar` lays out the graph
To run in production, use `docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.production.yml` instead of just `docker-compose`.
### Frontend
- `yarn build` to create an optimized build for deployment
