# HackerNews -> Mastodon Bridge

This repo contains config to consume the HackerNews RSS feed (https://news.ycombinator.com/rss) and to toot the messages to https://mastodon.pub.solar/@hackernews_bot, a mastodon bot.

The dockerfile builds a container that uses [feed2toot](https://feed2toot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/use.html). All stateful data is expected to be mounted under `/data`, namely:

* `feed2toot.ini`: config file in this repo
* `feed2toot_clientcred.txt`: from `register_feed2toot_app` script
* `feed2toot_usercred.txt`: from `register_feed2toot_app` script
* `feed2toot_cache.db`: cache file to register previous posts
