*{project}* turns form data into JSON and opens a pull request on
link:https://schlomp.space/FediBlock/data[FediBlock/data]. Also included are
tools to generate a HTML list and an RSS generator.

== Usage

.nginx config
[source,nginx]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Use 100 MiB cache with a 1 MiB memory zone (enough for ~8,000 keys).
# Delete data that has not been accessed for 10 minutes.
fastcgi_cache_path /var/cache/nginx/fediblock levels=1:2 max_size=100m
                   keys_zone=fediblock:1m inactive=10m use_temp_path=off;
fastcgi_cache_key "$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri";
add_header X-Cache $upstream_cache_status;

limit_req_zone $binary_remote_addr zone=fediblock_add:10m rate=1r/m;

server {
    # […]

    expires 30m;

    location ~* "(png|jpe?g|webp|gif)$" {
        expires 6d;
    }

    location /add {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/cgi-fcgiwrap.socket-1;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/bin/fediblock-backend;
        fastcgi_param HOME "/var/lib/nginx"; # When I didn't set it, HOME was /root.

        client_max_body_size 5M;
        limit_req zone=fediblock_add;
    }

    location /rss {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/cgi-fcgiwrap.socket-1;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/bin/fediblock-backend-gen_rss;
        fastcgi_param HOME "/var/lib/nginx";
        fastcgi_cache fediblock;
        fastcgi_cache_valid 200 15m; # Cache answers for up to 15 minutes.
        fastcgi_cache_lock on;  # Relay only one identical request at a time.
    }

    location /api/v1/list {
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass  unix:/var/run/cgi-fcgiwrap.socket-1;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /usr/bin/fediblock-backend-json_api;
        fastcgi_param HOME "/var/lib/nginx";
        fastcgi_cache fediblock;
        fastcgi_cache_valid 200 15m; # Cache answers for up to 15 minutes.
        fastcgi_cache_lock on;  # Relay only one identical request at a time.
    }
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.Generate SSH key
[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo -u nginx ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~nginx/.local/share/fediblock-backend/ssh_id
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget to add the key to the data repo.

Generate an access token and save it in
`~nginx/.local/share/fediblock-backend/gitea_access_token`.

[NOTE]
On non-Linux systems the data path is `~nginx/.fediblock-backend` unless
`XDG_DATA_HOME` is set.

Make sure the user that runs the CGI programs can create lockfiles. In Linux,
the locations are `/run/user/<UID>` or `/run/lock`, on UNIX the location is
`/var/run`. If none of these locations exist, `/tmp` is used as a fallback.

=== Generate HTML blocklist

After compiling, run `fediblock-backend-gen_html`. The screenshots will be
copied into the target directory and the output will be the HTML file.

.Example: Generate the HTML blocklist in `~/blocklist/`
[source,shell]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fediblock-backend-gen_html ~/blocklist > ~/blocklist/index.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Existing screenshots will not be overwritten.

[NOTE]
The RSS generator expects the blocklist to be in
`http(s)://your-domain/blocklist/`.
