Very alpha: no warranty.

Install ekster

ekster is build using go. To be able to install ekster you need a Go environment. Use these commands to install the programs.

go get -u github.com/pstuifzand/ekster/cmd/eksterd
go get -u github.com/pstuifzand/ekster/cmd/ek

eksterd

The command eksterd is the main server program. It will run a Microsub server. eksterd also needs a Redis server. It's used to temporarily remember the items.

The first time you should call the command

eksterd new

This will generate a configuration file backend.json where it remembers the feeds.

ek

The command ek is the command line client for Microsub server. It is able to call the different functions of the Microsub server. It isn't needed to use eksterd, but it can be useful. It can also be used with other servers that implement Microsub.

Using Docker / Docker Compose

It's now also possible to use docker-compose to start a ekster server.

docker-compose pull
docker-compose run web new
docker-compose up
