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.
