Epicyon, meaning "more than a dog". Largest of the Borophaginae which lived in North America 20-5 million years ago.
Epicyon is a modern ActivityPub compliant server implementing both S2S and C2S protocols and sutable for installation on single board computers. It includes features such as moderation tools, post expiry, content warnings, image descriptions and perimeter defense against adversaries.

Package Dependencies
On Arch/Parabola:
sudo pacman -S tor python-pip python-pysocks python-pycryptodome \
python-beautifulsoup4 imagemagick python-pillow \
python-numpy python-dateutil certbot
sudo pip install commentjson
Or on Debian:
sudo apt-get -y install tor python3-pip python3-socks imagemagick \
python3-numpy python3-setuptools python3-crypto \
python3-dateutil python3-pil.imagetk certbot
sudo pip3 install commentjson beautifulsoup4 pycryptodome
Installation
In the most common case you'll be using systemd to set up a daemon to run the server.
Add a dedicated user so that we don't have to run as root.
adduser --system --home=/etc/epicyon --group epicyon
Edit /etc/systemd/system/epicyon.service and add the following:
[Unit]
Description=epicyon
After=syslog.target
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=epicyon
Group=epicyon
WorkingDirectory=/etc/epicyon
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /etc/epicyon/epicyon.py --port 443 --proxy 7156 --domain YOUR_DOMAIN --registration open
Environment=USER=epicyon
Restart=always
StandardError=syslog
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Here the server was installed to /etc/epicyon, but you can change that to wherever you installed it.
Then run the daemon:
systemctl enable epicyon
chown -R epicyon:epicyon /etc/epicyon
systemctl start epicyon
Check the status of the daemon with:
systemctl status epicyon
If it's not running then you can also look at the log:
journalctl -u epicyon
You'll also need to set up a web server configuration. For Nginx edit /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_DOMAIN as follows:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name YOUR_DOMAIN;
root /var/www/YOUR_DOMAIN/htdocs;
access_log /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;

client_body_buffer_size 128k;
limit_conn conn_limit_per_ip 10;
limit_req zone=req_limit_per_ip burst=10 nodelay;
index index.html;
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}
server {

}
Changing your domain name as appropriate. Activate the configuration with:
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/YOUR_DOMAIN /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
Generate a LetsEncrypt certificate.
certbot certonly -n --server https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --standalone -d YOUR_DOMAIN --renew-by-default --agree-tos --email YOUR_EMAIL
And restart the web server:
systemctl restart nginx
Running Unit Tests
To run the unit tests:
python3 epicyon.py --tests
To run the network tests. These simulate instances exchanging messages.
python3 epicyon.py --testsnetwork
