AodeRelay
A simple and efficient activitypub relay
Usage
To simply run the server, the command is as follows
$ ./relay
To add domains to the blocklist, use the -b
flag and pass a list of domains
$ ./relay -b asonix.dog blimps.xyz
To remove domains from the blocklist, simply pass the -u
flag along with -b
$ ./relay -ub asonix.dog blimps.xyz
The same rules apply for whitelisting domains, although domains are whitelisted with the -w
flag
$ ./relay -w asonix.dog blimps.xyz
$ ./relay -uw asonix.dog blimps.xyz
Whitelisted domains are only checked against incoming activities if WHITELIST_MODE
is enabled
