@julian I think the closest one is Stefan's: https://github.com/botwiki/fediverse-bot
But most of these are written in Javascript, I wanted a PHP one so any cheap shared hosting will do (until bots get very popular and then hosting upgrade will be likely required).

ActivityPub bot instance software (Mastodon compatible)
Hello guys,
I have been running a couple of ActivityPub / Mastodon bots posting historical photos from different public library collections (New York City, San Francisco…).
However, the hurdle I had was it was difficult and slow to deploy a new bot. It meant manually registering with Mastodon instance → verify → create app → add scopes…
So I have built a tool to speed up deployment for people who like to run multiple bots (identities / handles) on one instance. You could probably use it to run a regular user(s) as well with limits*.
This tool helps to deploy bots (new accounts / identities) in couple of clicks.
See it in action: https://bots.ambience.sk/
Code:

I would be glad for any feedback. Thanks and enjoy.
Limits are that currently there is only one shared admin pass to access. So possible, but not recommended.
