You can find detailed installation instructions here: #### Installing from packages [](#installing-from-packages) *Unofficial* install packages, which are periodically built from the latest code, are available: #### Installing from Github [](#installing-from-github) You can opt to check out the work-in-progress development code from the git repository: - Check out the repo: `git clone https://github.com/idno/idno.git` - Fetch dependencies: `cd idno; composer install` #### Installing with composer [](#installing-with-composer) You can install Idno directly from composer using: `composer create-project idno/idno` Optionally, you can install the latest bleeding edge code the same way: `composer create-project idno/idno -s dev` ### Setting up the async pipeline [](#setting-up-the-async-pipeline) By default, Idno processes events **synchronously** — that is, things like Webmention pings, syndication, and ActivityPub delivery all happen inside the web request that triggered them. This works, but it makes page saves slow and means a timeout or crash loses the work. Enabling the **asynchronous queue** moves all of that into a background worker. The web request just drops an event into the database and returns immediately; the worker picks it up and processes it separately. **This is required for ActivityPub.** Follow-accept delivery, post distribution to followers, and update/delete propagation are all dispatched through the queue. If the worker is not running, those events sit in the database unprocessed and remote servers will never receive them. #### 1. Enable the async queue [](#1-enable-the-async-queue) Add this line to your `config.ini`: ``` event_queue = 'AsynchronousQueue' ``` Without this line (or with the default `SynchronousQueue`), all events are processed inline during the web request. #### 2. Start the event queue worker [](#2-start-the-event-queue-worker) ``` sudo -u www-data IDNO_DOMAIN='your.domain' ./idno.php service-event-queue ``` OptionDefaultDescription`--queue``default`Named queue to process`--interval``1`Seconds to sleep between polling cycles**How it works:** The worker runs an infinite loop. Each cycle it: 1. Queries the database for up to 50 pending events. 2. Dispatches each one via an internal HTTP call to `/service/queue/dispatch/{id}`, which triggers the event handler (e.g., signing and POSTing an ActivityPub activity to a remote inbox). 3. Runs garbage collection to remove completed events older than 5 minutes. 4. Sleeps for `--interval` seconds, then repeats. **If the worker dies, queued events pile up in the database but are not lost.**They will be processed once the worker is restarted. #### 3. Keep it alive with systemd (recommended) [](#3-keep-it-alive-with-systemd-recommended) The worker must stay running permanently. The simplest way is a systemd service unit. Create `/etc/systemd/system/idno-queue.service`, taking care to replace the values here with your own paths, users, and domains: ``` [Unit] Description=Idno async event queue worker After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=www-data Environment=IDNO_DOMAIN=your.domain WorkingDirectory=/var/www/idno ExecStart=/var/www/idno/idno.php service-event-queue #replace with your path Restart=always RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Then enable and start it: ``` sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now idno-queue ``` Check status any time with: ``` sudo systemctl status idno-queue sudo journalctl -u idno-queue -f # tail the logs ``` #### Alternative: use cron instead of systemd [](#alternative-use-cron-instead-of-systemd) If you don't have access to systemd (e.g. shared hosting), you can use cron instead. The `--once` flag makes the worker process one batch of pending events and exit, which is ideal for cron: ``` * * * * * sudo -u www-data IDNO_DOMAIN='your.domain' /var/www/idno/idno.php service-event-queue --once >> /var/log/idno-queue.log 2>&1 ``` This processes pending events once per minute. Events may take up to 60 seconds to be delivered (compared to ~1 second with the systemd worker above). #### 4. Run the periodic cron service (optional) [](#4-run-the-periodic-cron-service-optional) If you need periodic background tasks (triggered via `cron/minute`, `cron/hourly`, and `cron/daily` events), start the cron service the same way: ``` sudo -u www-data IDNO_DOMAIN='your.domain' ./idno.php service-cron ``` You can create a second systemd unit (`idno-cron.service`) following the same pattern as above if you want it managed automatically. #### 5. After updates — restart the workers [](#5-after-updates--restart-the-workers) When you update Idno core or any plugins, **restart both services** so they pick up the new code: ``` sudo systemctl restart idno-queue idno-cron ``` ### Support us [](#support-us) - [Star us on GitHub](https://github.com/idno/idno) - [Like us on alternativeto.net](http://alternativeto.net/software/known/) - [Contribute](CONTRIBUTING.md) ### Get support [](#get-support) - Try the open source mailing list: Community links --------------- [](#community-links) - Learn more and sign up to get updates: - Full project documentation: For details on contributing to the Idno project, please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
