TootBot

A small python 3.x script to replicate tweets on a mastodon account.

The script only need mastodon login/pass to post toots. It can run on any server (does not have to be on the mastodon instance server).

It gets the tweets from RSS available at nitter.net, then does some cleanup on the content:

  • twitter tracking links (t.co) are dereferenced
  • twitter hosted pictures are retrieved and uploaded to mastodon

A sqlite database is used to keep track of tweets than have been tooted.

Based on github.com/cquest/tootbot

Running

To run, fork this repo and enter the details for your bot account(s) in templates/run-bot.sh. Then copy inventory.example to inventory and enter your server connection details and the password for your Mastodon bot account(s). All bots need to have the same password.

Finally, you can deploy the bot with:

ansible-playbook tootbot.yml

Examples

I am using this bot for the following accounts:
