The very beginnings of a web-based reader for reddit. Blatent use of reddit stylesheets.
This is intended for personal use - it is not for public use.
The first thing you need to do is setup a new reddit application, as described under Script Application in the praw documentation.
The next thing you need to do is create a praw.ini file on your local system as described on the praw ini files page of the praw documentation.
The basic format of the praw.ini file should look like this:
[DEFAULT]
client_id=
client_secret=
password=
username=
Running via docker, with no customizations
docker run -d -p 80:8000 --name=reddit-reader furiousgeorge/reddit-reader
This alone will probably not work since your reddit credentials will not be applied. To use the reddit credentials in your praw.ini file, run the following docker command:
docker run -d -p 80:8000 -v $PWD/praw.ini:/app/praw.ini --name=reddit-reader furiousgeorge/reddit-reader
You should modify the customsettings/local_settings.py file to change the ALLOWED_HOSTS and SECRET_KEY settings.
The default customsettings/local_settings.py file looks like this:
ALLOWED_SUBREDDITS = [
'selfhosted',
'homelab',
'pfsense',
]
SUBREDDIT_LIMIT = 25
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost']
SECRET_KEY = 'CHANGE ME'
The ALLOWED_SUBREDDITS array contains a comma separated list of subreddits. Each subreddit name must be enclosed in single quotes.
See the Django Documentation for the description of the ALLOWED_HOSTS setting.
See the Django Documentation for the description of the SECRET_KEY setting.
If you are running in docker, you will want to mount the directory that contains the local_settings.py file (as well as your credentials in the praw.ini file):
docker run -d -p 80:8000 -v $PWD/customsettings:/app/customsettings -v $PWD/praw.ini:/app/praw.ini --name=reddit-reader furiousgeorge/reddit-reader
The SUBREDDIT_LIMIT allows you to specify how many posts to return when fetching posts for a subreddit. The Reddit API maximum is 100.
