# teddit
|
||
|
||
[teddit.net](https://teddit.net)
|
||
|
||
A free and open source alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy.
|
||
Inspired by the [Nitter](https://github.com/zedeus/nitter) project.
|
||
|
||
* No JavaScript or ads
|
||
* All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Reddit
|
||
* Prevents Reddit from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
|
||
* [Unofficial API](https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/wiki#teddit-api) (RSS & JSON support, no rate limits or Reddit account required)
|
||
* Lightweight (teddit frontpage: ~30 HTTP requests with ~270 KB of data downloaded vs. Reddit frontpage: ~190 requests with ~24 MB)
|
||
* Self-hostable. Anyone can setup an instance. An instance can either use Reddit's API with or without OAuth (so Reddit API key is not necessarily needed).

## Installation
|
||
|
||
### Docker-compose method (production)
|
||
|
||
```docker
|
||
version: "3.8"
|
||
|
||
services:
|
||
|
||
teddit:
|
||
container_name: teddit
|
||
image: teddit/teddit:latest
|
||
environment:
|
||
- DOMAIN=teddit.net
|
||
- USE_HELMET=true
|
||
- USE_HELMET_HSTS=true
|
||
- TRUST_PROXY=true
|
||
- REDIS_HOST=teddit-redis
|
||
ports:
|
||
- "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"
|
||
networks:
|
||
- teddit_net
|
||
healthcheck:
|
||
test: ["CMD", "wget" ,"--no-verbose", "--tries=1", "--spider", "http://localhost:8080/about"]
|
||
interval: 1m
|
||
timeout: 3s
|
||
depends_on:
|
||
- teddit-redis
|
||
|
||
teddit-redis:
|
||
container_name: teddit-redis
|
||
image: redis:6.2.5-alpine
|
||
command: redis-server
|
||
environment:
|
||
- REDIS_REPLICATION_MODE=master
|
||
networks:
|
||
- teddit_net
|
||
|
||
networks:
|
||
teddit_net:
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: This compose is made for a true "production" setup, and is made to be used to have teddit behind a reverse proxy, if you don't want that and prefer to directly access teddit via its port:
|
||
|
||
- Change `ports: - "127.0.0.1:8080:8080"` to `ports: - "8080:8080"`
|
||
- Remove `DOMAIN=teddit.net`, `USE_HELMET=true`, `USE_HELMET_HSTS=true`, `TRUST_PROXY=true`
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Docker-compose method (development)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
|
||
cd teddit
|
||
docker-compose build
|
||
docker-compose up
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Teddit should now be running at <http://localhost:8080>.
|
||
|
||
Docker image is available at [https://hub.docker.com/r/teddit/teddit](https://hub.docker.com/r/teddit/teddit).

### Manual
|
||
|
||
1. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org).
|
||
|
||
1. (Optional) Install [redis-server](https://redis.io).
|
||
|
||
Highly recommended – it works as a cache for Reddit API calls.
|
||
|
||
1. (Optional) Install [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org).
|
||
|
||
It's needed if you want to support videos.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Linux
|
||
apt install redis-server ffmpeg
|
||
|
||
# macOS
|
||
brew install redis
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
1. Clone and set up the repository.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
|
||
cd teddit
|
||
npm install --no-optional
|
||
cp config.js.template config.js # edit the file to suit your environment
|
||
redis-server
|
||
npm start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Teddit should now be running at <http://localhost:8080>.
