Barkey

status-badge

Barkey is Sharkey with a few minor tweaks. It was created as a personal project so that I can learn some development fundamentals, and is used in production on yeentown. For several reasons, I highly encourage you to use Sharkey instead of this fork.

⚠️ I have temporarily stopped creating arm64 images due to the ridiculous time it takes to build in QEMU. These will be back in the future when I am able to set up an arm64 node. If you require arm builds, please build from source for the time being. Thank you for your understanding.
