Multi author support has landed. You can now publish an unlimited number of your Steem account blogs using "authors" property to select names. Every author now has its own tag whitelist/blacklist.

Example configuration JSON file

{
  "authors": [{
    "account_name": "ontofractal",
    "tags": {
      "blacklist": [],
      "whitelist": []
    }
  }, {
    "account_name": "...",
    "tags": {
      "blacklist": [],
      "whitelist": []
    }
  }
],
  "about_blog_permlink": "ann-introducing-glasnost-alpha-open-source-blog-and-app-server-for-steem-golos-blockchains",
  "about_blog_author": "ontofractal",
  "source_blockchain": "steem"
}

Start by uploading a similar JSON configuration file with your values to pastebin or github gists:

Then point Glasnost to your uploaded raw(!) file using Docker environment variable GLASNOST_CONFIG_URL.

docker run -it -p 80:80 -e "GLASNOST_CONFIG_URL=..."  --restart on-failure:10 ontofractal/glasnost:latest

Warning: you need a raw file link, not a default one.

How to filter posts with tags rules

Whitelisting rules are applied first: all posts that do not have a whitelisted tag are discarded. If tags_whitelist value is an empty list [] whitelisting rule does NOT apply and is ignored.

Blacklist rules are applied next: all posts that have a blacklisted tag are removed. Check out a configuration file example in this post.
