Flotilla

A discord-like nostr client based on the idea of "relays as groups".

If you would like to be interoperable with Flotilla, please check out this guide: https://habla.news/u/hodlbod@coracle.social/1741286140797

Environment

You can also optionally create an .env.local file and populate it with the following environment variables (see .env.template for examples):

Platform branding

• VITE_PLATFORM_URL - The url where the app will be hosted
• VITE_PLATFORM_NAME - The name of the app
• VITE_PLATFORM_LOGO - A logo url for the app. Can be a local path or https link. Must be a PNG file.
• VITE_PLATFORM_ACCENT - A hex color for the app's accent color
• VITE_PLATFORM_DESCRIPTION - A description of the app
• VITE_PLATFORM_TERMS - URL to your terms of service page
• VITE_PLATFORM_PRIVACY - URL to your privacy policy page

Platform mode

• VITE_PLATFORM_RELAYS - A comma-separated list of relay urls that will make flotilla operate in "platform mode". Disables all space browse/add/select functionality and makes the first platform relay the home page.

Defaults

• VITE_DEFAULT_PUBKEYS - A comma-separated list of hex pubkeys for bootstrapping web of trust
• VITE_DEFAULT_SPACES - A comma-separated list of relay urls that new users will be automatically joined to on signup
• VITE_DEFAULT_RELAYS - A comma-separated list of relay urls used as default outbox/inbox relays
• VITE_DEFAULT_MESSAGING_RELAYS - A comma-separated list of relay urls used for encrypted direct messages
• VITE_DEFAULT_BLOSSOM_SERVERS - A comma-separated list of blossom server urls used for file uploads

Infrastructure

• VITE_INDEXER_RELAYS - A comma-separated list of relay urls used for user profile/key lookup
• VITE_SIGNER_RELAYS - A comma-separated list of relay urls used for NIP-55 remote signers
• VITE_BLOCKED_RELAYS - A comma-separated list of relay urls that will be blocked
• VITE_PUSH_SERVER - URL of the push notification server
• VITE_PUSH_BRIDGE - WebSocket URL of the push notification relay bridge
• VITE_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY - VAPID public key for web push notifications
• VITE_POMADE_SIGNERS - A comma-separated list of Pomade signer server URLs (3+ required to enable email signup)
• VITE_THUMBNAIL_URL - URL of the image thumbnail service

These values won't be used for a built version. Instead, env variables should be provided to build.sh directly or to the built container.

If you're deploying a custom version of flotilla, be sure to remove the plausible.coracle.social script from app.html. This sends analytics to a server hosted by the developer.

Development

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Deployment

To run your own Flotilla, it's as simple as:

pnpm install
pnpm run build
pnpm run start

Or, if you prefer to use a container:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 gitea.coracle.social/coracle/flotilla:latest

Alternatively, you can copy the build files into a directory of your choice and serve it yourself:

mkdir ./mount
docker run -v ./mount:/app/mount gitea.coracle.social/coracle/flotilla:latest bash -c 'cp -r build/* mount'
