Micro Blog Fetchers

The Micro Blog Fetchers is an app I made to aggregate, backup, and make my various social media posts available for my personal site.

The app is comprised of a clojure app and a data layer that is my self-hosted PocketBase instance.

Progress since switching to Clojure

  • BlueSky
  • Pixelfed
  • Mastodon
  • Nostr

Dev

Run the app locally:

$ clj -M -m micro-blog.main

or just run parts via repl:

$ clj

Deployment

Repl:

$ clj

Build and run uber jar manually:

$ clj -T:build uber
$ java -jar  ./target/micro-blog-standalone.jar

Build new docker image and push it to ECR

$ export AWS_PROFILE=personal
$ docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64  -t 853019563312.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/micro-blog-fetchers-homelabstack:latest  --push .

Project history

  • June 2024: Initial commit
  • July 2023: App is up and running logic is written in Typescript and deployed as AWS Lambda functions. My pocketbase instance is running on fly.io
  • May 2025: With my homelab Nomad cluster running I'm switching most of my personal apps to on-prem. Pocketbase instance is already running on-prem. For this app I swap Serverless for docker container. App now deployed on-prem and the docker containers run once per hour thanks to Nomad's job scheduling.
  • July 2025: Start rewrite in Clojure with a long running docker container deployment instead of scheduled runs.
