Mitra
Federated social network with smart contracts.
Built on ActivityPub protocol, self-hosted, lightweight. Part of the Fediverse.
Unique features enabled by blockchain integration:
- Sign-in with a wallet. A combination of domain-based and key-based identity.
- Donations.
- Recurring payments. Subscribers-only posts.
- Token-gated registration (can be used to verify membership in some group or to stop bots).
- Converting posts into NFTs.
Currently only Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains are supported.
Smart contracts repo: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-contracts
Frontend repo: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web
Demo instance: https://public.mitra.social/ (invite-only)
Matrix chat: #mitra:halogen.city
Requirements
- Rust 1.54+ (when building from source)
- PostgreSQL 12+
- IPFS node (optional, see guide)
- Ethereum node (optional)
Installation
Building from source
Run:
cargo build --release --features production
This command will produce two binaries in target/release directory, mitra and mitractl.
Install PostgreSQL and create the database.
Create configuration file by copying contrib/mitra_config.yaml and configure the instance. Default config file path is /etc/mitra/config.yaml, but it can be changed using CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
Start Mitra:
./mitra
An HTTP server will be needed to handle HTTPS requests and serve the frontend. See the example of nginx configuration file.
Building instructions for mitra-web frontend can be found at https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web#project-setup.
To run Mitra as a systemd service, check out the systemd unit file example.
Debian package
Download and install Mitra package:
dpkg -i mitra.deb
Install PostgreSQL and create the database. Open configuration file /etc/mitra/config.yaml and configure the instance.
