webfinger

Simple WebFinger server that returns static resources. Written with Python and FastAPI.

Deployment

Add static resources

• Create a resource/ folder. This will map to the ?resource= query parameter.
• Put a .json file in there; anything before the .json will be served via that resource query parameter.
  • Currently, the "subject" will be ignored (as the resource will be used directly).
  • Otherwise, links and aliases and properties will be served normally.

Example acct:a@trwnh.com.json

{
	"subject": "acct:a@trwnh.com",
	"aliases": ["https://trwnh.com/actors/7057bc10-db1c-4ebe-9e00-22cf04be4e5e", "https://trwnh.com/~a"],
	"links": [
		{
			"rel": "self",
			"type": "application/ld+json; profile=\"https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams\"",
			"href": "https://trwnh.com/actors/7057bc10-db1c-4ebe-9e00-22cf04be4e5e"
		},
		{
			"rel": "https://webfinger.net/rel/profile-page/",
			"type": "text/html",
			"href": "https://trwnh.com/~a"
		}
	]
}
