**Logging:** In production (when running the binary, hosting with docker, or using the official instances), Libreddit logs nothing. When debugging (running from source without `--release`), Libreddit logs post IDs fetched to aid troubleshooting but nothing else.
**DNS:** Both official domains (`libredd.it` and `libreddit.spike.codes`) use Cloudflare as the DNS resolver. Though, the sites are not proxied through Cloudflare meaning Cloudflare should not have access to user traffic.

**Cookies:** Libreddit uses no cookies currently but eventually, I plan to add a configuration page where users can store an optional cookie to save their preferred theme, default sorting algorithm, or default layout.
**Hosting:** The official instances (`libredd.it` and `libreddit.spike.codes`) are hosted on [Repl.it](https://repl.it/) which likely monitors some aspect of usage for preventing abuse. I can understand if this invalidates certain users' threat models and therefore, selfhosting and browsing through Tor are welcomed.

If you're on Linux and none of these methods work for you, you can grab a Linux binary from [the newest release](https://github.com/spikecodes/libreddit/releases/latest).
Currently, Libreddit does not have Windows or macOS binaries but those will be available soon.
### E) Repl.it
**Note:** Repl.it is a free option but they are *not* private and are likely monitoring server usage to prevent abuse. If you really need a cheap easy setup, this method may work best for you.
1. Create a Repl.it account (see note above)
2. Visit [the official Repl](https://repl.it/@spikethecoder/libreddit) and fork it
3. Hit the run button to download the latest Libreddit version and start it
In the web preview (defaults to top right), you should see your instance hosted where you can assign a [custom domain](https://docs.repl.it/repls/web-hosting#custom-domains).
## Deployment
Once installed, deploy Libreddit (unless you're using Docker) by running:
