Hacking/learning ActivityPub and Pocket APIs...

Warning: this code is a horrible mess just hacked together as a
proof-of-concept...

Goal

Implement a focused subset of the activitypub spec that allows a mastodon user to
follow a pocket username as @username@pocket-activitypub-service.social and for
the pocket-activitypub-service.social to federate pocket saved articles to the
user's mastodon instance.

Building/Running

Requires:

• A GCP project with a data disk (optional) and an ip address (required) provisioned

• the following environment variables set:

  AP_NAME        # name of the app (for gcr.io)
  AP_PROJECT     # name of GCP project
  AP_VM          # name of the VM
  AP_ZONE        # zone of the VM
  AP_IP          # IP in project
  AP_DATA_DISK   # disk in project (optional: don't supply -db flag)
  AP_POCKET_KEY  # pocket API key
  AP_VERSION_TAG # docker version tag (e.g., latest)
  

• A domain (supplied with -domain) pointing to AP_IP

The scripts deploy/docker_build.sh builds and pushes the container to
gcr.io, while deploy/deploy.sh and deploy/update.sh create and update the
VM, respectively.

To link a pocket account, visit MY_DOMAIN/pocket/register. Then, once the
account is linked, you can follow your username@MY_DOMAIN from any mastodon
(or other activitypub federated service).

• Link to live instance:
  hq.jerry.business

For example, the following two accounts are two pocket accounts I linked (with
not much saved in them...):

• langma@hq.jerry.business
• m@hq.jerry.business
