Release Ruby Testing Crowdin

Mastodon is a free, open-source social network server based on ActivityPub where users can follow friends and discover new ones. On Mastodon, users can publish anything they want: links, pictures, text, and video. All Mastodon servers are interoperable as a federated network (users on one server can seamlessly communicate with users from another one, including non-Mastodon software that implements ActivityPub!)

Navigation

Features

Part of the Fediverse. Based on open standards, with no vendor lock-in. - the network goes beyond just Mastodon; anything that implements ActivityPub is part of a broader social network known as the Fediverse. You can follow and interact with users on other servers (including those running different software), and they can follow you back.

Real-time, chronological timeline updates - updates of people you're following appear in real-time in the UI.

Media attachments - upload and view images and videos attached to the updates. Videos with no audio track are treated like animated GIFs; normal videos loop continuously.

Safety and moderation tools - Mastodon includes private posts, locked accounts, phrase filtering, muting, blocking, and many other features, along with a reporting and moderation system.

OAuth2 and a straightforward REST API - Mastodon acts as an OAuth2 provider, and third party apps can use the REST and Streaming APIs. This results in a rich app ecosystem with a variety of choices!

Deployment

Tech stack

  • Ruby on Rails powers the REST API and other web pages.
  • PostgreSQL is the main database.
  • Redis and Sidekiq are used for caching and queueing.
  • Node.js powers the streaming API.
  • React.js and Redux are used for the dynamic parts of the interface.
  • BrowserStack supports testing on real devices and browsers. (This project is tested with BrowserStack)
  • Chromatic provides visual regression testing. (This project is tested with Chromatic)

Requirements

  • Ruby 3.2+
  • PostgreSQL 13+
  • Redis 6.2+
  • Node.js 20+

This repository includes deployment configurations for Docker and docker-compose, as well as for other environments like Heroku and Scalingo. For Helm charts, reference the mastodon/chart repository. A standalone installation guide is available in the main documentation.
