- [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/libredirect/) - [Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Google Chrome)](https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect#install-in-chromium-browsers) ### GreaseMonkey script There is a script to redirect Imgur links to rimgo. https://codeberg.org/zortazert/GreaseMonkey-Redirect/src/branch/main/imgur-to-rimgo.user.js ### Redirector You can use the [Redirector](https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector) extension to redirect Imgur links to rimgo with the configuration below: * Description: Imgur -> rimgo * Example URL: https://imgur.com/a/H8M4rcp * Include pattern: `^https?://i?.?imgur.com(/.*)?$` * Redirect to: `https://rimgo.example.com$1` * Pattern type: Regular Expression * Advanced options: * Apply to: * [x] Main window (address bar) * [x] Images For Stack Overflow images: * Description: Stack Overflow Imgur -> rimgo * Example URL: https://i.stack.imgur.com/BTKqD.png?s=128&g=1 * Include pattern: `^https?://i\.stack\.imgur\.com(/.*)?$` * Redirect to: `https://rimgo.example.com/stack$1` * Pattern type: Regular Expression * Advanced options: * Apply to: * [x] Images ## Install rimgo can run on any platform Go compiles on. > It is strongly recommended to use [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) as your reverse proxy. Caddy is simple to configure, automatically manages your TLS certificates, and provides better performance with support for HTTP/2 and /3 (allow UDP port 443 in your firewall to use HTTP/3). ### Docker (recommended) Install [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) and [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/), then clone this repository. ```bash git clone https://codeberg.org/video-prize-ranch/rimgo cd rimgo ``` Edit the `docker-compose.yml` file using your favorite text editor. ```bash nvim docker-compose.yml ``` You can now run rimgo. ```bash sudo docker-compose up -d ``` #### Automatic updates [Watchtower](https://containrrr.dev/watchtower/) can automatically update your Docker containers. Create a new `docker-compose.yml` file or add the watchtower section to your existing `docker-compose.yml` file. ```yml version: "3" services: watchtower: image: containrrr/watchtower volumes: - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ``` ### Build from source #### Requirements * Go v1.16 or later Clone the repository and `cd` into it. ```bash git clone https://codeberg.org/video-prize-ranch/rimgo cd rimgo ``` Build rimgo. ```bash go build ``` You can now run rimgo. ```bash ./rimgo ``` To include version information use: ```bash go build -ldflags "-X codeberg.org/video-prize-ranch/rimgo/pages.VersionInfo=$(date '+%Y-%m-%d')-$(git rev-list --abbrev-commit -1 HEAD)" ``` (optional) You can use a .env file to set environment variables for configuration. ```bash cp .env.example .env nvim .env ``` ## Configuration rimgo can be configured using environment variables. The path to the .env file can be changed the -c flag. ### Environment variables > For more details on instance privacy, see https://librarian.codeberg.page/docs/usage/instance-privacy/ | Name | Default | Note | |-----------------------|-----------------|------| | PORT | 3000 | | | ADDRESS | 0.0.0.0 | | | IMGUR_CLIENT_ID | 546c25a59c58ad7 | | | FORCE_WEBP | 0 | | | PRIVACY_POLICY | | Optional, URL to privacy policy | | PRIVACY_MESSAGE | | Optional, message to display on privacy page | | PRIVACY_COUNTRY | | | | PRIVACY_PROVIDER | | | | PRIVACY_CLOUDFLARE | | | | PRIVACY_NOT_COLLECTED | | | | PRIVACY_IP | | | | PRIVACY_URL | | | | PRIVACY_DEVICE | | | | PRIVACY_DIAGNOSTICS | | | ## Contributing Pull requests are welcome!
