Apub-ctpanel

ActivityPub-based software Control Panel for: controlling bad actors, watching new users activity (until you build up trust, then whitelist it), filter posts (federated, unlisted, followers-only and DM (for example, for spamming via DM)), filter on user, automations on configured filters (auto suspend/silence/report users, auto delete posts, manual reporting and management of positives)...

In short: manage your ActivityPub implementation software (ex: Mastodon) in a next level way.


Installation

The project is a web application, therefore it uses only these 4 languages: PHP, HTML, CSS, JS.

First steps

First of all, read this basic guideline of requirements:

  • You need any standalone web server with any PHP version you can/want (also see the "Package requirements" below).
  • Make sure the web server has access to your Mastodon/Pixelfed (or whatever): web (via HTTP), database (via IP:PORT), redis (via IP:PORT)... (the needed services to be accessed, depends on the instance managed and configured in the web interface).
  • No need for any database for saving this web application's data: instance configuration, manager users, jobs... It is saved in common files.
  • Copy config/application.php.example to config/application.php and modify it to your needs.
  • For background jobs, you only need to run the cron.php script with php cron.php or php /your/deployed/path/cron.php in any way you want. Also the interval to run this job can be anyone you want (1 minute, 5 minutes or even more...). (The recommended setting is to run every minute).

Package requirements

This requirements are specified with their common names, adapt the package names to your needs (version, operating system...):

  • php-pqsql (Postgres)
  • php-curl (Curl)

Custom guides

Mastodon:

  • When configuring the instance after you've added it (on #instance_config view), there is a field called "API authkey", which is the API key created on your Mastodon instance, with your admin account, and must have all admin:* privileges set. See how to create API keys in your instance URL /settings/applications/new

About Versioning

All tags are created from a moment of the "main" branch. There can be alpha- or beta- prefixes to a version, but all prefixes have there own numeration.

Version numeration is representad as this examples: v1.2.0, alpha-v1.0.0, beta-v3.0.2. In this example v1.2.0 is higher than any alpha- or beta- numeration, as this prefixes are only used as a state of development of this web application.
