# Teddit Setup 

![](0.png)

In this tutorial we're going to setup Teddit, a privacy front-end for Reddit. 

## **Initial Setup**

first install the dependencies
    
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [~]
    → apt install docker.io docker-compose -y
    	
    

Then run it with docker-compose:
    
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/srv]
    → git clone https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit
    Cloning into 'teddit'...
    remote: Enumerating objects: 609, done.
    remote: Counting objects: 100% (609/609), done.
    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (283/283), done.
    remote: Total 6548 (delta 492), reused 324 (delta 324), pack-reused 5939
    Receiving objects: 100% (6548/6548), 4.35 MiB | 24.59 MiB/s, done.
    Resolving deltas: 100% (3049/3049), done.
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/srv]
    → cd teddit
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/srv/teddit]
    → vim docker-compose.yml
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/srv/teddit]
    → cat docker-compose.yml
    # This docker-compose file is made for development purpose and build from source, if you want to use teddit in production, the README contains a production-ready docker-compose setup.
    
    version: "3"
    
    services:
    
      teddit:
        container_name: teddit
        build: .
        environment:
          - REDIS_HOST=teddit-redis
        ports:
          - "8082:8080"
        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:
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/srv/teddit]
    → docker-compose up -d
    Creating network "teddit_teddit_net" with the default driver
    Pulling teddit-redis (redis:6.2.5-alpine)...

    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/srv/teddit]
    → docker-compose up -d
    teddit-redis is up-to-date
    Recreating teddit ... done
    	
    

Then from here you need to setup the reverse nginx proxy as follows:
    
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/etc/nginx/sites-available]
    → vim teddit.nowhere.moe
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/etc/nginx/sites-available]
    → cat teddit.nowhere.moe
    server {
            listen 443 ssl;
            server_name teddit.nowhere.moe;
    
            ssl_certificate /etc/acme/certs/teddit.nowhere.moe/teddit.nowhere.moe.cer;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/acme/certs/teddit.nowhere.moe/teddit.nowhere.moe.key;
    
        ######## TOR CHANGES ########
        listen 4443;
        listen [::]:4443;
        server_name teddit.daturab6drmkhyeia4ch5gvfc2f3wgo6bhjrv3pz6n7kxmvoznlkq4yd.onion;
        add_header Onion-Location "http://teddit.daturab6drmkhyeia4ch5gvfc2f3wgo6bhjrv3pz6n7kxmvoznlkq4yd.onion$request_uri" always;
        ######## TOR CHANGES ########
    
       location / {
                    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
                    proxy_pass http://localhost:8082;
        }
    
    }
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [/etc/nginx/sites-available]
    → bash
    root@Datura /etc/nginx/sites-available # acme.sh --issue --standalone -d teddit.nowhere.moe -k 4096
    
    root@Datura /etc/nginx/sites-available # ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/teddit.nowhere.moe /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
    root@Datura /etc/nginx/sites-available # nginx -t
    nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
    nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
    root@Datura /etc/nginx/sites-available # systemctl restart nginx
    	
    

Then we can test if the website is reachable:

And also from tor:

Then last step is contributing to the overall [list](https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit#instances) of instances [like so](https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/issues/413):

Then make sure teddit is restarted once every hour:
    
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/1 ] [/srv/teddit]
    → crontab -e
    
    @hourly docker-compose -f /srv/teddit/docker-compose.yml stop ; git -C /srv/teddit/ pull ;   docker-compose -f /srv/teddit/docker-compose.yml pull ; docker-compose -f /srv/teddit/docker-compose.yml up -d
    
    
    [ nowhere.moe ] [ /dev/pts/2 ] [~]
    → cronitor select
    
    ✔ docker-compose -f /srv/teddit/docker-compose.yml stop ; git -C /srv/teddit/ pull ; docker-compose -f /srv/teddit/docker-compose.yml pull ; docker-compose -f /srv/teddit/docker-compose.yml up -d
