Glasnost will automatically synchronize and filter posts from any number of your Steem accounts. This release adds new advanced post filtering settings: regular expression title filters and created date filters.

Configuration example

{
  "authors": [{
    "account_name": "ontofractal",
    "filters": {
      "tags": {
        "blacklist": ["stats"],
        "whitelist": ["open-source", "glasnost"]
      },
      "title": {
        "blacklist": [],
        "whitelist": ["elixir"]
      },
      "created": {
        "only_after": "2017-01-01",
        "only_before": ""
      }
    }
  }],
  "about_blog_permlink": "ann-introducing-glasnost-alpha-open-source-blog-and-app-server-for-steem-golos-blockchains",
  "about_blog_author": "ontofractal",
  "source_blockchain": "steem"
}

Use authors property to select Steem account names.

Possible values for:

• "source_blockchain": steem or golos
• "about_blog_author": post author steem or golos
• "about_blog_permlink": post permlink on steem or golos

Other settings like PORT, STEEM_URL and GOLOS_URL can be configured in the Dockerfile.

Whitelist/blacklist rules

Whitelisting for tags and titles are applied first: all posts that do not match whitelisting rules are discarded. If whitelist is empty, it is ignored. Blacklist rules are applied next: all posts that match any of the blacklist rules are discarded.

Filters are applied in the following order:

1. Tags
2. Titles
3. Created date

Tag filters: strings in whitelist and blacklist arrays should be usual strings.

Created date filters: empty values "" of only_after и only_before keys are ignored. Date format should use ISO 8601 standard and contain only the date part (no time or offset).

Title filters: strings in whitelist and blacklist arrays should be valid regular expressions without /.
