Sample feed generator implementation based on the official Bluesky example

When you run this server, it will create a minimal feed and the two other endpoints needed to host a feed. A good starting place would be the ./src/server.ts file that serves those endpoints. See the ./src/feeds/ directory for more. There is also an option MVP firehose feed example that can be enabled (see instructions below).

Setup

NOTE: Important to use Node 18 or the publish script will not work

npm install

Create a .env file

BLUESKY_SERVER=wss://bsky.social
# REDIS_URL=redis:/127.0.0.1:6379

HOSTNAME=localhost
PORT=3000

PUBLISHER_DID=did:example:bob

# These can be only local envs
PUBLISHER_HANDLE=user.bsky.social
PUBLISHER_PASSWORD=abcd-1234-efgh-5678

# BACKFILL_FEEDS=true

Optional for the "love" feed

• Run a redis server
• Uncomment and update the .env line for REDIS_URL
• Uncomment the feeds line with both the minimal and feeds line

Run

npm run dev

Goto http://localhost:3000 and look at the listed links

Publish Feeds

Deploy this server somewhere (like fly.io) and set the HOSTNAME env to match it's location and PUBLISHER_DID to the account you want to place these feeds in.

Verify that the urls in the root page look good.

Locally update (no need to in "production") in the PUBLISerH_HANDLE and PUBLISHer_PASSWORD to an App Credential for the destination account.

npm run publish-feeds
