Ozone: labeling service for Bluesky and other atproto apps

Ozone UI is a Next.js web application which talks directly to an Ozone "labeling service". It generally requires moderator or administrator privileges to function.

Features:

viewing triaging, escalating, and actioning moderation reports
takedowns and suspension of content and accounts
creating and modifying labels on content and accounts
viewing invite trees and disabling invite generation
sending moderation emails, based on templates
browsing app.bsky profiles and post threads, including some taken-down content
quick-action modal (Ctrl-K)

See User Guide for a quick introduction for users of the interface.

Docker Quickstart

# build image
docker build -t ozone .

# run the image
docker run -p 3000:3000 ozone

Development Quickstart

We recommend nvm for managing Node.js installs. This project requires Node.js version 20. yarn is used to manage dependencies. You can install it with npm install --global yarn.

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

See HACKING for other development tricks, like development with a local PDS instance, or working with un-released changes to the @atproto/api package.

Running your own Ozone labeler service

[!TIP] There is a comprehensive guide for setting up your own Ozone labeler service within HOSTING.md.

We offer a Dockerized setup for hosting both the Ozone UI and backend together. This allows you to run an Ozone labeler service on the network, which users of the Bluesky application can discover and opt into. There are a few requirements to get this setup:

Create a "service account" for your labeler. This is the account that users will discover in the application, allowing them to subscribe to your labeler. You should not use your personal account as an Ozone labeler service account. It can be created on bsky.app just like a typical account.
Start running the Ozone UI and backend on the public internet. The service only relies on Postgres, and is generally quite cheap and easy to run. It should be served over https at a domain that you own.
Associate your Ozone labeler service with your service account, and announce it to the network. Your Ozone UI will help you with this if you login to Ozone using your service account.

This process is outlined in detail within HOSTING.md.

Rules:

We may not respond to your issue or PR.
We may close an issue or PR without much feedback.
We may lock discussions or contributions if our attention is getting DDOSed.
We do not provide support for build issues.

Guidelines:

Check for existing issues before filing a new one, please.
Open an issue and give some time for discussion before submitting a PR.
If submitting a PR that includes a lexicon change, please get sign off on the lexicon change before doing the implementation.
Issues are for bugs & feature requests related to the TypeScript implementation of atproto and related services.
- For high-level discussions, please use the Discussion Forum.
Stay away from PRs that:

- Change the tooling or frameworks used without prior discussion
- Introduce new unnecessary dependencies

Remember, we serve a wide community of users. Our day-to-day involves us constantly asking "which top priority is our top priority." If you submit well-written PRs that solve problems concisely, that's an awesome contribution.
