Used to see which instances block yours.
## software used:
+
- python 3.10.2
-- node v17.6.0
-- yarn 1.22.17
-## how to use:
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+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
+```
-Copy the preloaded database to the live database
+### 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:
-`cp blocks_preloaded.db blocks.db`
+```
+ "critical"
+ "error"
+ "warning"
+ "info"
+ "debug"
+ "trace"
+```
-Start the mastodon API
+### Fetch blocklists locally (WIP)
+To save yourself bandwidth and codeberg, too, you want to clone the blocklists from some folks:
```
-cd mastodon_api
-yarn install
-node .
+sudo -Hu fba git clone https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists.git blocklists/oliphant/
+```
+
+WIP notice: This feature is not implemented yet.
+
+### Install the services
+
+```bash
+sudo cp services/* /etc/systemd/system
+```
+
+### start the services
+
+```bash
+systemctl enable --now fetch_blocks
+systemctl enable --now fedi_block_api
```
-Fill the database with blocks.
+## Try it out
-`python fetch_blocks.py`
+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.
