.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm honk
.Nd honk administration
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
daemon processes messages from other federated servers.
This is the admin manual.
For user operation, see
.Xr honk 1 .
.Ss Setup
.Pp
Set up a TLS reverse proxy.
.Nm
can listen on TCP or unix sockets, but will not terminate TLS.
https is a required component for federation.
Also, http signature verification requires accurate time keeping.
.Pp
Make sure to pass the Host header, if necessary (as for nginx).
.Bd -literal -offset indent
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
.Ed
.Ss Build
Building
.Nm
requires a go compiler 1.16 and libsqlite.
On
.Ox
this is the go and sqlite3 packages.
Other platforms may require additional development libraries or headers
to be installed.
Run make.
Please be patient.
Even on fast machines, building from source can take several seconds.
.Ss Options
The following options control where
.Nm
looks for data.
.Bl -tag -width datadirxdirx
.It Fl datadir Ar dir
The root data directory, where the database and other user data are stored.
This directory contains all user data that persists across upgrades.
Requires write access.
Defaults to ".".
.It Fl viewdir Ar dir
The root view directory, where html and other templates are stored.
The contents of this directory are generally replaced with each release.
Read only.
Defaults to ".".
.El
.Pp
The following options control log output.
Acceptable values include "stderr" (the default), "stdout", "null", "syslog",
or a file name.
syslog messages will be sent to the UUCP facility.
.Bl -tag -width errorlogxlogx
.It Fl errorlog Ar log
The error log.
Something bad has happened.
.It Fl infolog Ar log
The informative messages log.
Something has happened, but probably not too bad.
.It Fl debuglog Ar log
The debug log.
There's probably no reason to care.
.It Fl log Ar log
Set all three logs.
.El
.Ss Init
Run the
.Ic init
command.
This will create the database and ask four questions, as well as creating
the initial user.
See below about importing existing data.
.Ss Operation
Run honk.
.Ss Customization
The funzone contains fun flair that users may add to posts and profiles.
Add custom memes (stickers) to the
.Pa memes
data directory.
Image and video files are supported.
Add custom emus (emoji) to the
.Pa emus
data directory.
PNG and GIF files are supported.
.Pp
Site CSS may be overridden by creating a
.Pa views/local.css
file in the data directory.
Site JS may similarly be included by creating
.Pa views/local.js .
A restart is required after changes.
A site icon.png and favicon.ico will be served from the views directory
in the data directory, if present.
.Pp
Custom HTML messages may be added to select pages by using the
.Ic admin
command.
This interface is a little rough.
A restart is required after changes.
.Bl -tag -width tenletters
.It server
Displayed on the home page.
.It about
Displayed on the about page.
.It login
Displayed on the login form.
.It avatar colors
Four 32-bit hex colors (RGBA).
.El
.Pp
.Ss User Admin
New users can be added with the
.Ic adduser
command.
This is discouraged.
.Pp
Passwords may be reset with the
.Ic chpass Ar username
command.
.Pp
Users may be deleted with the
.Ic deluser Ar username
command.
.Pp
Follow and unfollow requests can be sent via command line with
.Ic follow Ar username Ar url
and
.Ic unfollow Ar username Ar url .
.Ss Maintenance
The database may grow large over time.
The
.Ic cleanup Op Ar days
This will not immediately reduce the size of the database, but frees space
for future use.
A vacuum may be performed manually if necessary, but will require more time
and additional disk space.
.Pp
Backups may be performed by running
.Ic backup dirname .
Backups only include the minimal necessary information, such as user posts
and follower information, but not external posts.
.Pp
Sometimes servers simply disappear, resulting in many errors trying to deliver
undeliverable messages.
Running
.Ic unplug Ar hostname
will delete all subscriptions and pending deliveries.
.Ss Upgrade
Stop the old honk process.
Backup the database.
Perform the upgrade with the
.Ic upgrade
command.
Restart.
.Pp
The current version of the honk binary may be printed with the
.Ic version
command.
.Ss Security
.Nm
is not currently hardened against SSRF, server side request forgery.
Be mindful of what other services may be exposed via localhost or the
local network.
.Ss Development
Development mode may be enabled or disabled by running
.Ic devel Ar on|off .
In devel mode, secure cookies are disabled, TLS certs are not verified,
and templates are reloaded every request.
.Ss Import
Data may be imported and converted from other services using the
.Ic import
command.
Currently supports Mastodon, Twitter, and Instagram exported data.
Posts are imported and backdated to appear as old honks.
The Mastodon following list is imported, but must be refollowed.
.Pp
To prepare a Mastodon data archive, extract the archive-longhash.tar.gz file.
.Dl ./honk import username mastodon source-directory
.Pp
To prepare a Twitter data archive, extract the twitter-longhash.zip file.
After unzipping the data archive, navigate to the tweet_media directory
and unzip any zip files contained within.
.Dl ./honk import username twitter source-directory
.Pp
To prepare an Instagram data archive, extract the igusername.zip file.
.Dl ./honk import username instagram source-directory
.Ss Advanced Options
Advanced configuration values may be set by running the
.Ic setconfig Ar key value
command.
For example, to increase the fast timeout value from 5 seconds to 10:
.Dl ./honk setconfig fasttimeout 10
.Pp
To support separate mentions without a subdomain,
e.g. @user@example.com and https://honk.example.com/u/user,
set config key 'masqname' to 'example.com'.
Route
.Pa /.well-known/webfinger
from the top domain to honk.
.Pp
Custom URL seperators (not "u" and "h") may be specified by adding
"usersep" and "honksep" options to the config table.
e.g. example.com/users/username/honk/somehonk instead of
example.com/u/username/h/somehonk.
.Sh FILES
.Nm
