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).

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.
