cd tweets-2-bsky

    npm install

Configuration & Security#

Environment Variables#

Create a .env file for security (optional but recommended):

PORT=3000
JWT_SECRET=your-super-secret-key-change-this

⚠️ Security Note: If you do not set JWT_SECRET, a fallback secret is used. For production or public-facing deployments, YOU MUST SET A STRONG SECRET.

Data Storage#

  • config.json: Stores your account mappings and encrypted web user passwords. Note that Bluesky app passwords are stored in plain text here to facilitate automated login. Do not share this file.
  • data/database.sqlite: Stores the history of processed tweets to prevent duplicates.

Usage#

Web Interface#

  1. Register your first account (this user becomes the Admin).
  2. Go to settings to configure your Twitter Auth Token and CT0 (cookies).
  3. Add mappings:
    • Enter one or more Twitter Usernames (comma-separated).
    • Enter your Bluesky Handle and App Password.
  4. The system will check for new tweets every 5 minutes (configurable).

CLI#

  • Add Mapping: npm run cli add-mapping
  • Edit Mapping: npm run cli edit-mapping
  • Import History: npm run cli import-history
  • List Accounts: npm run cli list

🤖 Gemini AI Alt Text (Optional)#

This tool can automatically generate Alt Text for images using Google's Gemini AI if the original tweet lacks it.

  1. Get an API Key: Get a free API Key from Google AI Studio.
  2. Configure:
    • Web UI: Go to the Admin Dashboard and paste your key in the "Gemini AI (Alt Text)" section.
    • Disable: Leave the field empty to disable this feature (default).

Twitter Cookies (Auth)#

You need your Twitter auth_token and ct0 cookies.

  1. Log in to Twitter/X in your browser.
  2. Open Developer Tools (F12) -> Application -> Cookies.
