- Posty is a tool designed to create a full export of Public and Unlisted posts from Mastodon archives, converting them into a static HTML site.
- Features include support for locales, language encoding, optional tags directory, and search pages.
- Posty can be run using Docker or CommandBox, with detailed instructions provided for both methods.
- Users can upload their Mastodon archive .zip file to generate, browse, and download a static HTML site.
- Posty can be hosted as a service, either open to all or dedicated to a specific Mastodon instance.
- Customization options include modifying the main.css file for styling and editing templates in the /views/extract/partials/ directory.
- Important folders include ./stage, ./archive, and ./db, which store exported data and metadata.
- Posty runs on an embedded JBOSS Undertow web server with Lucee, interpreting CFML files compiled to Java.
- Development contributions are welcome, with the application using the Framework One (FW/1) MVC framework.
