Lumen-based ActivityPub Server

I'm learning web dev the hard way :D

Follow me as I implement an ActivityPub server in the micro-framework Lumen, one commit at a time. I'll make all the mistakes and ask all the stupid questions, so you don't have to!

To run this (don't run this in production), simply clone the repo and run composer install from the repo root directory.

Getting Public Activities

I want to do stuff with the actual Fediverse as quickly as possible.

In this commit I've installed a package called guzzlehttp, and added an HTTP call to the base route ('/').

After pulling this, run composer update and php -S localhost:8000 -t public to start the server locally. When you call localhost:8000 (for example with curl localhost:8000) it'll in turn fetch the public timeline from the mastodon instance at floss.social.

Useful? No, not yet. But we're touching the Fediverse!

About Lumen

Lumen PHP Framework

Laravel Lumen is a stunningly fast PHP micro-framework for building web applications with expressive, elegant syntax. We believe development must be an enjoyable, creative experience to be truly fulfilling. Lumen attempts to take the pain out of development by easing common tasks used in the majority of web projects, such as routing, database abstraction, queueing, and caching.

Official Documentation

Documentation for the framework can be found on the Lumen website.
