Libreddit

An alternative private front-end to Reddit

Libre + Reddit = Libreddit

• 🚀 Fast: written in Rust for blazing fast speeds and safety
• ☁️ Light: no javascript, no ads, no tracking
• 🕵 Private: all requests are proxied through the server, including media
• 🔒 Safe: does not rely on Reddit's OAuth-requiring APIs
• 📱 Responsive: works great on mobile!

Think Invidious but for Reddit. Watch your cat videos without being watched.

Installation

A) Cargo

Make sure Rust stable is installed along with cargo, Rust's package manager.

cargo install libreddit

B) Docker

Deploy the Docker image of Libreddit:

docker run -d --name libreddit -p 8080:8080 spikecodes/libreddit

Deploy using a different port (in this case, port 80):

docker run -d --name libreddit -p 80:8080 spikecodes/libreddit

C) AUR

Libreddit is available from the Arch User Repository as libreddit-git.

Install:

yay -S libreddit-git

D) GitHub Releases

If you're on Linux and none of these methods work for you, you can grab a Linux binary from the newest release.

Deploy an Instance

Once installed, deploy Libreddit (unless you're using Docker) by running:

libreddit

Specify a custom address for the server by passing the -a or --address argument:

libreddit --address=0.0.0.0:8111
