Teddit

Last updated on 28 September 2022

When browsing Reddit [1], I use a self-hosted Teddit [2] instance. Teddit allows you to view Reddit using a nicer and more privacy-respecting front-end.

To run Teddit, create a `docker-compose.yml`:

version: "3"

services:

  teddit:
    image: teddit/teddit:latest
    environment:
      - REDIS_HOST=teddit-redis
    ports:
      - "8086:8080"
    depends_on:
      - teddit-redis

  teddit-redis:
    image: redis:6.2.5-alpine
    command: redis-server
    environment:
      - REDIS_REPLICATION_MODE=master

Simply bring the service up, navigate to the IP address or domain for the service, and you're ready to go.

I run Teddit in my Tailscale network, and so do not bother with provisioning TLS certificates. If needed, this can be done via Traefik [3], noting the production recommendations in the project's README [4].

Configuration

Check out the documentation [5] for configuration options (such as enabling suggested sub-reddits, image/video viewing, etc.).
