TURBO Sticks

This authentication bridge authenticates against an OAuth 2.0 provider to present users with member only functionalities.

• Website: https://sticks.turbo.chat/

NOTES

• This web application utilizes uwsgi with Python 3.10+ and uses PostgreSQL as its database backend.
• The static content will have to be served using nginx or another HTTP server of your liking, preferably with builtin WSGI support so uWSGI can talk to the proxy using the WSGI protocol, rather than the HTTP protocol.
• The web application may currently not be thread safe, so it is recommended to run it using a single uWSGI worker.

Requirements

For production use:

• A HTTP server with WSGI support (e.g. nginx)
• uWSGI (including greenlet and gevent plugin)
• Python 3.10+ (including development headers for building psycopg)
• PostgreSQL (including development headers for building psycopg)
• Redis

For compiling static CSS and JS resources:

• sassc
• css-purge
• uglifyjs3

Setup

• Install using pip install .[bot,uwsgi]
• Run setup.sh in folder setup to generate the JS and CSS
• Configure nginx to serve /static and forward wsgi on /<app path> and /<api path>
• Setup Postgres database and user for use with turbo sticks. Run initdb.sql to initialize tables
• (optional) Setup Redis with unix socket
• Setup an App in Mastodon with read:accounts privileges
• Setup an App in Discord with identify and guilds.join scope
• Create a Discord Bot and authorize it with CREATE_INSTANT_INVITE, MANAGE_ROLES, KICK_MEMBERS, BAN_MEMBERS, MANAGE_MESSAGES, VIEW_CHANNEL, SEND_MESSAGE and MANAGE_WEBHOOKS permissions
• Adjust settings in turbo-config.example.yaml and rename to turbo-config.yaml
• Run retrieve-discord-ids to determine your server and role ids
• Add server id and role id to turbo-config.yaml
• Run turbo-sticks.wsgi using uWSGI
• (optional) Setup cronjob to run sticks-cron daily
• (optional) Run sticks-bot to add discord integration to webchat

Upgrade

• Run setup.sh in folder setup to generate the JS and CSS
• Check setup folder for upgradedb-v{major version}{minor version}.sql if it's your first time upgrading to a specific minor or major revision.
• Run database upgrade scripts in order from the oldest to newest version if you're skipping ahead multiple releases.
