Bridgy Fed

Description

Bridgy Fed bridges ActivityPub (Fediverse), ATProto/Bluesky, and IndieWeb (webmentions/mf2). It mirrors identities and interactions across networks.

Overview

This role builds and runs Bridgy Fed as a Docker container and (optionally) starts a Datastore-mode Firestore emulator as a sidecar. It exposes HTTP locally for a front proxy.

Upstream docs & dev notes:

  • User & developer docs: https://fed.brid.gy and https://bridgy-fed.readthedocs.io/

  • Source: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed

  • Local run (reference): flask run -p 8080 with BRIDGY_APPVIEW_HOST/BRIDGY_PLC_HOST/BRIDGY_BGS_HOST/BRIDGY_PDS_HOST set, and Datastore emulator envs

Features

  • Dockerized Flask app (gunicorn)

  • Optional Firestore emulator (Datastore mode) sidecar

  • Front proxy integration via sys-stk-front-proxy

Quick start

  1. Set domains and ports in inventory.

  2. Enable/disable the emulator in config/main.yml.

  3. Run the role; your front proxy will publish the app.

Notes

  • Emulator is not for production; it’s in-memory unless you mount a volume/configure import/export.
