Elk alpha
A nimble Mastodon web client
## β οΈ Elk is in Alpha
It is already quite usable, but it isn't ready for wide adoption yet. We recommend you use it if you would like to help us build it. We appreciate your feedback and contributions. Check out the [Open Issues](https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/issues) and jump in the action. Join the [Elk discord server](https://chat.elk.zone) to chat with us and learn more about the project.
## Deployment
### Official Deployment
The Elk team maintains a deployment at:
- π¦ Production: [elk.zone](https://elk.zone)
- π Canary: [main.elk.zone](https://main.elk.zone) (deploys on every commit to `main` branch)
### Self-Host Docker Deployment
In order to host Elk yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with elk. Be aware, that Elk only loads properly if the connection is done via SSL/TLS. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You'll have to add this bit yourself.
One could put Elk behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX etc.
1. checkout source ```git clone https://github.com/elk-zone/elk.git```
1. got into new source dir: ```cd elk```
1. build Docker image: ```docker build .```
1. create local storage directory for settings: ```mkdir elk-storage```
1. adjust permissions of storage dir: ```sudo chown 911:911 ./elk-storage```
1. start container: ```docker-compose up -d```
Note: The provided Dockerfile creates a container which will eventually run Elk as non-root user and create a persistent named Docker volume upon first start (if that volume does not yet exist). This volume is always created with root permission. Failing to change the permissions of ```/elk/data``` inside this volume to UID:GID 911 (as specified for Elk in the Dockerfile) will prevent Elk from storing it's config for user accounts. You either have to fix the permission in the created named volume, or mount a directory with the correct permission to ```/elk/data``` into the container.

## π§βπ» Contributing
We're really excited that you're interested in contributing to Elk! Before submitting your contribution, please read through the following guide.
### Online
You can use [StackBlitz Codeflow](https://stackblitz.com/codeflow) to fix bugs or implement features. You'll also see a Codeflow button on PRs to review them without a local setup. Once the elk repo has been cloned in Codeflow, the dev server will start automatically and print the URL to open the App. You should receive a prompt in the bottom-right suggesting to open it in the Editor or in another Tab. To learn more, check out the [Codeflow docs](https://developer.stackblitz.com/codeflow/what-is-codeflow).
[](https://pr.new/elk-zone/elk)
### Local Setup
Clone the repository and run on the root folder:
```
pnpm i
pnpm run build:glean
pnpm run dev
```
`Warning`: you will need `corepack` enabled, check out the [Elk Contributing Guide](./CONTRIBUTING.md) for a detailed guide on how to set up the project locally.
We recommend installing [ni](https://github.com/antfu/ni#ni), that will use the right package manager in each of your projects. If `ni` is installed, you can instead run:
```
ni
nr build:glean
nr dev
```
### Telemetry
*Note: This section is a work in progress.*
We are using [glean.js](https://github.com/mozilla/glean.js/) for analytics tracking. Build the necessary generated files by running the `build:glean` script before starting your server.
For more details on developing in Glean, see the [Glean Development Guide](./telemetry/README.md) (note it's currently very much a work in progress).
### Testing
Elk uses [Vitest](https://vitest.dev). You can run the test suite with:
```
nr test
```
## π² PWA
You can consult the [PWA documentation](https://docs.elk.zone/docs/pwa) to learn more about the PWA capabilities on Elk, how to install Elk PWA in your desktop or mobile device and some hints about PWA stuff on Elk.
