A working Twitter Wall is built using Loklak’s server and its Loklak search API, a Flask front end and an Elasticsearch-backed index; setup requires cloning the loklak repo, a Gradle/Java build to start the loklak server and then running the Flask GUI on port 5000. The wall ingests event hashtags in seconds, needed no Twitter OAuth for collection, captured ~3000 tweets in 2 days at a college fest, and outputs a live screen-ready stream of tweets and avatars.
