microstatus is a lightweight Mastodon- and GNU social-compatible OStatus server implementation.

Design goals

microstatus aims at the following objectives:

  • provide a complete, standard compliant implementation of the OStatus protocol;
  • be extremely lightweight, self-contained and easy to deploy;
  • federate with Mastodon and GNU social instances (at least);
  • use a hackable, UNIX-friendly storage format;
  • come with a nice client API.

microstatus (nice to have) non-goals include:

  • providing a scalable implementation of the OStatus protocol;
  • handling billions of users;
  • being compatible with Mastodon's, GNU social's or Twitter's client API;
  • coming with a nice web or mobile UI.

Compilation

Run cargo build --release in your working copy.

Installation

Copy the microstatus binary wherever you want.
