usage
- create a Mastodon API key following the instructions here
- create a Twitter API key follwing the instructions here
- create a Tumblr API key following the instructions here
- create a file called
config.edn
with the following contents:
{;; add Twitter config to mirror Twitter accounts
:twitter {:access-keys
{:consumer_key "XXXX"
:consumer_secret "XXXX"
:access_token_key "XXXX"
:access_token_secret "XXXX"}
;; optional, defaults to false
:include-replies? false

-
the bot looks for
config.edn
at its relative path by default, an alternative location can be specified either using theMASTODON_BOT_CONFIG
environment variable or passing the path to config as an argument -
run the bot:
./mastodon-bot.cljs
-
to poll at intervals setup a cron job such as:
*/30 * * * * mastodon-bot.cljs /path/to/config.edn > /dev/null 2>&1
