Dolphin

Dolphin

Dolphin is a lightweight ActivityPub server for personal (or team).

Become a Patron!

πŸ€ Why Dolphin

Dolphin is a fork of Misskey and a sister project of it. While inheriting attractive features such as reaction and high performance, it has been optimized for single-user use. As a result, it is easier to use and lighter.

Looking for a lightweight, high-performance ActivityPub server? Want to use Misskey, but is it heavy to use alone? Try Dolphin.

Build time

X axis represents seconds. Lower is better.

πŸ“¦ Install

Create Dolphin user

Running dolphin as root is not a good idea so we need to create another user for that

For example:

adduser --disabled-password --disabled-login dolphin

Install dependencies

Please install and setup these softwares:

Install Dolphin

  1. Connect to Dolphin user

    su - dolphin

  2. Clone the Dolphin repo

    git clone -b master git://github.com/syuilo/dolphin.git

  3. Navigate to Dolphin directory

    cd dolphin

  4. Install Dolphin dependencies.

    npm i

Configure Dolphin

  1. Copy the .config/example.yml and rename it to default.yml.

    cp .config/example.yml .config/default.yml

  2. Edit default.yml

    e.g. vim .config/default.yml

Build Dolphin

Build dolphin with the following:

NODE_ENV=production npm run build

If you're on Debian... You will need to install the `build-essential`, `python` package.
If you're still encountering errors about some modules... Use node-gyp:
  1. npx node-gyp configure
  2. npx node-gyp build
  3. NODE_ENV=production npm run build

Initialize database

npm run init

That is it.

Launch Dolphin

NODE_ENV=production npm start

Enjoy!

πŸ†• How to update your Dolphin

  1. git pull
  2. npm i
  3. NODE_ENV=production npm run build
  4. npm run migrate
  5. Restart your Dolphin process to apply changes
