Openbook

Italiano: README.it.md · Website · Instance · Documentation · Changelog

Openbook is a general-purpose federated social network, inspired by the simplicity of Facebook's early years but built natively on ActivityPub. It is not a microblog, not a Mastodon clone, and not a link aggregator: it is meant for personal, local, association, and topic-based communities.

Current version: 26.38.rc1. Release notes are in CHANGELOG.md. The first stable release was 26.34 - Lovable Pancake.

Install

The simplest path needs neither Composer nor SSH. It uses the setup-openbook.php bootstrap and the zip releases on about.openb.app.

1. Download setup-openbook.php and upload it to the folder where you want to install Openbook.
2. Open it in the browser (https://your-domain.example.org/setup-openbook.php).
3. Complete /install (database, instance name, administrator).
4. Configure cron: see Configuration.

Requirements, git/Composer install, web server layouts, and updates: Install guide.
