Simple webfinger redirect implementation (to e.g. another Mastodon server)

Simple redirecting webfinger implementation

This simple webfinger implementation just redirects a single webfinger address to another server. I use it to allow people to find my mastodon profile via my personal server.

Example usage:

$ redirect-webfinger --acct=[e-mail] \
     --mastodon-server=mastodon.cloud \
     --mastodon-user=jelmer

The only URL it exposes is /.well-known/webfinger, which you would probably want to expose via your reverse HTTP proxy.

Or using docker/podman:

$ podman run ghcr.io/jelmer/redirect-webfinger \
     -e ACCT=[e-mail] \
     -e MASTODON_SERVER=mastodon.cloud \
     -e MASTODON_USER=jelmer
