More about Teddit

teddit

teddit.net

A free and open source alternative Reddit front-end focused on privacy. Inspired by the 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 (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)

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)

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.

Manual

  1. Install Node.js.

  2. (Optional) Install redis-server.

Highly recommended – it works as a cache for Reddit API calls.

  1. (Optional) Install ffmpeg.

It's needed if you want to support videos.

# Linux
apt install redis-server ffmpeg

# macOS
brew install redis
  1. Clone and set up the repository.
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.

You can also run teddit from a process manager like pm2:

## To run:
npm install pm2 -g
pm2 start app.js --name teddit 

## To run on startup:
pm2 startup
pm2 save ## if using systemd, see below.

## To restart or stop
pm2 restart teddit 
pm2 stop teddit

See also the pm2 instructions for running a project on startup. In particular, if using systemd, see the section on how to modify the systemd init file so that it runs after your system connects to the network.
