Atom scrapper is in a separate binary (rostra-bot), the --help there should help you configure it.

But in my NixOS config I configure it like this:

  systemd.services.rostra-bot-rss = {
    wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
    serviceConfig = {
      User = "rostra-bot-rss";
      Group = "rostra-bot-rss";
      StateDirectory = "rostra-bot-rss";
      # TODO: add more feeds
      ExecStart = ''
        ${pkgs.rostra}/bin/rostra-bot \
          --atom-feed-url https://dpc.pw/atom.xml \
          --secret-file=/run/secrets/rostra-bot-rss \
          --data-dir=''${STATE_DIRECTORY}
      '';
      Restart = "always";
      RestartSec = "5s";
      LimitNOFILE = "100000";
    };
    environment = {
      RUST_LOG = "rostra=debug,info,iroh=error,mainline=error";
    };
  };

Cool, thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into it later today or tomorrow!

Huh. I’ve seen the previous talk. I’ll have to try it out.

All right. A new version of Rostra was published and deployed to https://rostra.me.

Lots of little but important improvements and fixes. Notably @-mentions should be fully functional and show up in Notifications of the mentioned person.

Please report any issues.

Hey @dpc, you remember you chair?

I’m working on @-mentions showing up in “Notifications” tab.

It works, but I’ll push and deploy to public instance after I gain more confidence in this and some other changes I’ve been making.

Nothing much. Browsing on Android chrome.

Welcome. Where did you hear of rostra?

@Anonymous Lurker is a “fake” account that is used on https://rostra.me when the user did not actually logged into own/real one. I just made it make one post, so I can showcase potential visitors how the Notifications work.

This so fits what I’ve been thinking about everything.

I’ve just added support for Iroh relay-model and made it the default for Rostra. This will make all communication go though Iroh relay, so no more exposing IPs to other users.

This can be disabled with --public command line argument which is useful when better bandwidth is desired and IP exposure is not an issue.

IP exposure is rarely an issue, but Rostra is trying to be as private by default as possible.

What if I told you can now share media files over Rostra:

And if you need to share some data, it works too: 5120 bytes of randomness

Note, the current instance is a tiny $5/mo VPS and underlying data model is not entirely ready to start sharing/streaming GB files (but in principle it is workable).

Happy new year DPC and anyone else hanging in here.

Rostra is almost 1 year old. I remember waiting for its release in early 2025 hah
