Commands

There are a number of commands to manage your relay's database and config. You can add --help to any category or command to get help on that specific option (ex. activityrelay inbox --help).

Note: activityrelay is only available via pip or pipx if ~/.local/bin is in $PATH. If not, use python3 -m relay if installed via pip or ~/.local/bin/activityrelay if installed via pipx.

Run

Setup

Convert

Convert the old config and jsonld to the new config and SQL backend. If the old config filename is not specified, the config will get backed up as relay.backup.yaml before converting.

Edit Config

Open the config file in a text editor. If an editor is not specified with --editor, the default editor will be used.
