  70. <p>My blog is built on Hugo and hosted on Vercel. It mostly works well.</p>
  71. <p>I wanted to have my blog automatically publish posts that I create in a way that I didn't need to spin up an instance of Mastodon.</p>
  72. <p>I got a minimal version of it working. You can discover my page, follow my account, and it will post updates when my blog deploys a new page.</p>
  73. <p>The biggest learning that I had was that ActivityPub is a Message protocol. You can't just output a feed of posts and be done (I tried) - so even if you are a statically generated site you need a Server component because you need to POST message replies to people who send a 'Follow' request to your account and POST to the people who follow your account to 'Create' a 'Note'.</p>
  74. <p>To see it all in action, you can subscribe to my blog on any ActivityPub system by following this account: @paul@paul.kinlan.me &lt; try it.</p>
  75. <p>While I had fun, I will say that I found it <strong>very</strong> hard to get started - I found the spec hard to read; testing was almost impossible (there seem to be no easy test harnesses to determine if you are building a compatible client) so I had to test against a live instance; and there is little documentation of what messages should look like; and I hit snags in all places.</p>
  76. <p>Hopefully this post will help you get started if you want to go down a similar path.</p>
  77. <p>My implementation uses Hugo to create my posts and feed data, Vercel Serverless functions to handle in bound messages, and Firebase Firestore to store the data.</p>
  78. <p>This post will assume that you know the terminology of ActivityPub, but I will try and link to the relevant part of the spec. I also made a lot of assumptions that I am a single user host.</p>

  101. <p>The JSON above describes a number of aliases for my ActivityPub account '@paul@paul.kinlan.me' and it points to where I host my ActivityPub Actor information.</p>
  102. <p><strong>Note</strong>: You need to make sure you are sending the correct MIME types.</p>
  103. <p>Why do I have a serverless function for static content? Vercel... That's why. I couldn't set the <code>Content-Type</code> configuration properly for any static file in the <code>.well-known</code> folder. In the future if I add multiple accounts I will need to parse the query string to be able to target the <code>links</code> and <code>subject</code> fields correctly/</p>
  104. <p>Next you need to create an <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#actor-objects">Actor</a>. The Actor is a configuration file that tells ActivityPub servers where to find many core functions such as the 'inbox' (which will receive messages from other clients), 'outbox' that contains all the messages that a user has created (like an RSS feed), 'publicKey' for verifying messages, how my face should appear etc.</p>
  105. <p>To serve the actor file, I just send a JSON response from my <a href="https://github.com/PaulKinlan/paul.kinlan.me/tree/main/api"><code>api</code></a><code>/</code><a href="https://github.com/PaulKinlan/paul.kinlan.me/tree/main/api/activitypub"><code>activitypub</code></a><code>/</code><strong><code>actor.ts</code></strong>. You can see the <a href="https://github.com/PaulKinlan/paul.kinlan.me/blob/main/api/activitypub/actor.ts">code</a> and the <a href="https://paul.kinlan.me/paul">output</a>.</p>

  135. <p>I used a serverless function because for similar reasons to webfinger (setting the correct Content-type) <em>and</em> I wanted to embed a publicKey that I previously generated and store in Vercel's environment variables configuration.</p>
  136. <p>Now that Mastodon can find me and ActivityPub services know where my inboxes are all I needed to do now was to handle what happens when people follow and unfollow me, and what happens when I create a new post.</p>
  137. <h3 id="following">Following</h3>
  138. <p>I found this one particularly hard - it was almost impossible to find an example of what a Follow message looks like, so I ended up spending a lot of time following my account from a Mastodon client and seeing what data was <code>HTTP</code> <code>POST</code>ed; <strong>and</strong> I also need to maintain the state of who followed me (so I can send them messages later). I chose Firebase Firestore to store all follow requests because it's pretty simple, has a good client and can store JSON directly.</p>
  139. <p>ActivityPub clients will send all messages to an <code>Actor</code>'s inbox. My inbox can only handle <code>Follow</code> and <code>Undo</code> a <code>Follow</code> requests. Once a request is sent to me, I store the data in FireStore and send a response back.</p>
  140. <p>The entire flow is very complex so I will try and explain it as best I can.</p>

  292. <p><strong>Note</strong>: I found it hard to find much information about sending requests to servers - so after a lot of reading and experimenting I created this <a href="https://github.com/PaulKinlan/paul.kinlan.me/blob/main/lib/activitypub/utils/sendSignedRequest.ts">routine</a>. It will successfully sign the HTTP request with your configured private key and attach a digest.</p>
  293. <h3 id="posting">Posting</h3>
  294. <p>Like many static sites there is no CMS that knows when new content is posted (it is static after all) so I needed to create a routine that would send my posts to all the people that follow the account.</p>
  295. <p>Firstly I generate the <code>outbox</code> so that people can read all my public posts. I use a hugo template (<a href="https://github.com/PaulKinlan/paul.kinlan.me/blob/main/config.toml">layouts/index.activity_outbox.ajson</a>) that reads through all my posts and creates a <code>Create</code> object with an embedded <code>Note</code> - this is what Mastodon needs to show a Toot.</p>

  474. <ol>
  475. <li>Scan the outbox</li>
  476. <li>Pick the first post (I am only sending one note)</li>
  477. <li>For each follower in the <code>followers</code> table
  478. <ol>
  479. <li>Get their actor information (where their inbox is)</li>
  480. <li>Send the <code>Create</code> object from the outbox to them via a signed HTTP request</li>

  485. <p>Simple... Nah. I think it's pretty complex, but it works.</p>
