## software used:
- python 3.10.2
-- node v17.6.0
-- yarn 1.22.17
## Installation
-### Copy the preloaded database to the live database
-
```bash
-cp blocks_preloaded.db blocks.db
+sudo useradd -m fba
+sudo mkdir -p /opt/fedi-block-api
+sudo chown -R fba:fba /opt/fedi-block-api
+sudo -Hu fba git clone git://git.mxchange.org/fba.git /opt/fedi-block-api/
+cd /opt/fedi-block-api/
+sudo -Hu fba pip3 install -r requirements.txt
+sudo -Hu fba cp blocks_empty.db blocks.db
+sudo -Hu fba cp config.defaults.json config.json
+sudo -Hu fba ./fba.py fetch_instances --domain=mastodon.social # try a bunch of large servers here
```
-### Install the services
+### Alter configuration file
+You maybe wish to change the configuration file, e.g. log_level is set to "info" which is the default but invates privacy of your users, but your choice:
-Make sure to edit the `User` and `WorkingDirectory` in each service file accordingly.
+```
+ "critical"
+ "error"
+ "warning"
+ "info"
+ "debug"
+ "trace"
+```
+
+### Fetch blocklists locally (WIP)
+To save yourself bandwidth and codeberg, too, you want to clone the blocklists from some folks:
-```bash
-sudo cp services/* /etc/systemd/system
```
+sudo -Hu fba git clone https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists.git blocklists/oliphant/
+```
+
+WIP notice: This feature is not implemented yet.
-### Install node packages
+### Install the services
```bash
-cd apis
-yarn install
+sudo cp services/* /etc/systemd/system
```
### start the services
```bash
-systemctl start mastodon_api
-systemctl start fetch_blocks
-systemctl start fedi_block_api
+systemctl enable --now fetch_blocks
+systemctl enable --now fedi_block_api
```
+## Try it out
+
+https://fba.ryona.agency/ uses an older code than this one. So it doesn't reflect this code here. My FBA sub-domain is currently password-protected as I still need to fix some performance issues with large blocking lists.
