request fedi comments (Fediverse RFC Bot)
A fediverse bot that posts a random Request for Comments (RFC) from the IETF in regular intervals.
Written in Rust, because of course.
Publicly deployed here.
Development
cargo build, cargo run, cargo test etc. for the basics.
A .env file must be filled with the following data:
# Set this to your instance's base URL
instance_url=https://mastodon.example
# Obtained when creating your OAuth2 application, see https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/token/#app
client_id=...
client_secret=...
# Not strictly necessary, but keep it around anyways
vapid_key=...
# Obtained when authorizing the application with your account, see https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/authorized/
account_authorization_code=...
access_token=...
# Can apparently not be retrieved via API
character_limit=500
# Configure logging (see https://docs.rs/env_logger/latest/env_logger/#enabling-logging)
RUST_LOG=debug,yaserde::de=warn,yaserde_derive=warnRunning in release mode is recommended, since XML parsing takes very long otherwise.
