Built with Django and AlpineJs. Schedule posts with text/image/link on Facebook public page, Instagram profesional account, Linkedin, X. Deploy it yourself or contact me to help you deploy it.
For all of them you need to search for developer + X or developer + Linkedin etc. to go to the platform where you can create an app and get the keys needed for integrating with their api. Search for "How to make posts via Linkedin/X/Facebook/etc api" you will find some up to date docs on what steps you need to take. Check .env.example for the needed ids and secrets.
While developing:
make dev- start django app;make poster- start background social media poster (needs manual restarts on changes);
Use ngrok for APP_URL in .env file for Google auth callback and social media callbacks;
Project is using uv for managing dependencies.
uv sync- install all packages;uv sync --upgrade- install all packages at their latest versions;uv add package- add a package in dependencies;uv remove package- remove a package from dependencies;
