-- features

Take control of your honks.
Join the federation in the fight against the evil empire.

Send honks. Receive honks. And not just honks.
Bonk, donk, tonk, all your favorite activities are here.

Custom emus.

Purple color scheme.

No attention mining.
No likes, no faves, no polls, no stars, no claps, no counts.

The button to submit a new honk says "it's gonna be honked".

Ein Honk is a stupid person auf deutsch.

Minimal setup and configuration.

No keybase support.

Written in gotesque, an especially grotesque dialect of golang.

-- build

It should be sufficient to type make after unpacking a release.
You'll need a go compiler version 1.11 or later.

Even on a fast machine, building from source can take several seconds.

-- requirements

libsqlite3 (you probably already have it)

go modules included in vendor:
github.com/gorilla/mux
github.com/mattn/go-runewidth
golang.org/x/crypto
golang.org/x/net
humungus.tedunangst.com/r/go-sqlite3

-- setup

honk expects to be fronted by a TLS terminating reverse proxy.

First, create the database. This will ask four questions.

./honk init

username: (the username you want)
password: (the password you want)
listenaddr: (tcp or unix: localhost:31337, /var/www/honk.sock, etc.)
servername: (public DNS name: honk.example.com)

Then run honk.

./honk

Refer also to the docs directory, in particular manual.txt.

Busy honk instances may use megabytes of memory.

-- upgrade

./honk upgrade

./honk
