webcomment

Rust webserver for comments, that you can easily embed in a website.

Early development, not safe for production yet

Features

• List and post comments by topic (e.g. each article in your blog is a topic)
• Admin approval
• Admin notification on new comment via Matrix
• Embedded one-file webserver
• Tera templates
• Comment frequency limit per IP

Use

webcomment init

# This adds an admin password to the config (password are hashed)
webcomment psw

# edit ~/.config/webcomment/config.toml

webcomment start

Each topic is accessible at /t/<topic_name>.

Admin login is accessible at /admin. Once authenticated, you can see the pending comments on the topic pages.

Matrix

If enabled, a message can be sent to a Matrix room (private or public) on every new comment.

The account must have joined the room for Webcomment to be able to send messages to it.
