-More scrapers are coming soon. I currently want to add HackerNews (durr orange site!!), Qwant, Yep and other garbage. A shopping, files, tab and more music scrapers are also on my todo list.
-
# Installation
-This section is still to-do. You will need to figure shit out for some of the apache2 and nginx stuff. Everything else should be OK.
-
-## Install on Apache
-
-Login as root.
-
-```sh
-apt install php-mbstring apache2 certbot php-imagick imagemagick php-curl curl php-apcu git libapache2-mod-php python3-certbot-apache
-service apache2 start
-a2enmod rewrite
-```
-
-For all of the files in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`, you must apply the following changes:
-- Uncomment `ServerName` directive, put your domain name there
-- Change `ServerAdmin` to your email
-- Change `DocumentRoot` to `/var/www/html/4get`
-- Change `ErrorLog` and `CustomLog` directives to log stuff out to `/dev/null/`
-
-Now open `/etc/apache2/apache2.conf` and change `ErrorLog` and `CustomLog` directives to have `/dev/null/` as a value
-
-This *should* disable logging completely, but I'm not 100% sure since I sort of had to troubleshoot alot of shit while writing this. So after we're done check if `/var/log/apache2/*` contains any personal info, and if it does, call me retarded trough email exchange.
-
-Blindly run the following shit
-
-```sh
-cd /var/www/html
-git clone https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get
-cd 4get
-mkdir icons
-chmod 777 -R icons/
-```
-
-Restart the service for good measure... `service apache2 restart`
-
-## Install on NGINX
-
-Login as root.
-
-Create a file in `/etc/nginx/sites-avaliable/` called `4get.conf` or any name you want and put this into the file:
-
-```
-server {
- # DO YOU REALLY NEED TO LOG SEARCHES?
- access_log /dev/null;
- error_log /dev/null;
- # Change this if you have 4get in other folder.
- root /var/www/4get;
- # Change yourdomain by your domain lol
- server_name www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com;
-
- location @php {
- try_files $uri.php $uri/index.php =404;
- # Change the unix socket address if it's different for you.
- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
- fastcgi_index index.php;
- # Change this to `fastcgi_params` if you use a debian based distro.
- include fastcgi.conf;
- fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
- }
-
- location / {
- try_files $uri @php;
- }
-
- location ~* ^(.*)\.php$ {
- return 301 $1;
- }
-
- listen 80;
-}
-```
-
-That is a very basic config so you will need to adapt it to your needs in case you have a more complicated nginx configuration. Anyways, you can see a real world example [here](https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/etc-configs/src/branch/selfhost/nginx/sites-available/4get.zzls.xyz.conf)
-
-After you save the file you will need to do a symlink of the `4get.conf` file to `/etc/nignx/sites-enabled/`, you can do it with this command:
-
-```sh
-ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/4get.conf /etc/nginx/sites-available/4get.conf
-```
-
-Now test the nginx config with `nginx -t`, if it says that everything is good, restart nginx using `systemctl restart nginx`
-
-## Install using Docker (lol u lazy fuck)
-
-```
-docker run -d -p 80:80 -e FOURGET_SERVER_NAME="4get.ca" luuul/4get:latest
-```
-
-...Or with SSL:
-```
-docker run -d -p 443:443 -v /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld:/etc/4get/certs -e FOURGET_SERVER_NAME="4get.ca" luuul/4get:latest
-```
-
-if the certificate files are not mounted to /etc/4get/certs the service listens to port 80
-
-the certificate directory expects files named `fullchain.pem` and `privkey.pem`
-
-
-## Install using Docker Compose
-
-copy `docker-compose.yaml`
-
-to serve custom banners create a directory named `banners` for example with images and mount to `/var/www/html/4get/banner`
-
-to serve captcha images create a directory named `captchas` for example containing subfolders with images and mount to `/var/www/html/4get/data/captcha`
-
-any environment variables prefixed with `FOURGET_` will be added to the generated config
-
-the entrypoint will automatically set the `CAPTCHA_DATASET` value for you based on directory names and number of files in each
-
-to set `INSTANCES` pass a comma separated string of urls (FOURGET_INSTANCES = "https://4get.ca,https://domain.tld")
-
-
-```
-version: "3.7"
-
-services:
- fourget:
- image: luuul/4get:latest
- restart: always
- environment:
- - FOURGET_SERVER_NAME=4get.ca
-
- ports:
- - "80:80"
- - "443:443"
-
- volumes:
- - /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld:/etc/4get/certs
- - ./banners:/var/www/html/4get/banner
- - ./captchas:/var/www/html/4get/data/captcha
-```
-
-Replace relevant values and start with `docker compose up -d`
-
-## Install on Caddy
-
-1. Install dependencies:
-
-`sudo apt install caddy php8.2-dom php8.2-imagick imagemagick php8.2-curl curl php8.2-apcu git`
-
-2. Clone this repository where you want to host this from:
-
-`cd /var/www && sudo git clone https://git.konakona.moe/diowo/4get`
-
-3. Set permission on the `icons` directory inside `4get`
-
-`cd /var/www/4get/ && sudo chmod 777 -R icons/`
-
-4. Add an entry for 4get on your Caddyfile at `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile`
-
-```sh
-4get.konakona.moe {
- root * /var/www/4get
- file_server
- encode gzip
- php_fastcgi unix//var/run/php/php8.2-fpm.sock {
- index index.php
- }
- redir /{path}.php{query} 301
- try_files {path} {path}.php
-}
-```
-
-Caddy deals with SSL certificates automatically so you don't have to mess with anything. Also if needed, a sample of my Caddyfile can be found [here](https://git.konakona.moe/diowo/misc/src/branch/master/etc/caddy/Caddyfile).
-
-5. Restart Caddy
-
-`sudo systemctl restart caddy`
-
-# Encryption setup
-I'm schizoid (as you should) so I'm gonna setup 4096bit key encryption. To complete this step, you need a domain or subdomain in your possession. Make sure that the DNS shit for your domain has propagated properly before continuing, because certbot is a piece of shit that will error out the ass once you reach 5 attempts under an hour.
-
-## Encryption setup on Apache
-
-```sh
-certbot --apache --rsa-key-size 4096 -d www.yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com
-```
-When it asks to choose a vhost, choose the option with "HTTPS" listed. Don't setup HTTPS for tor, we don't need it (it doesn't even work anyways with let's encrypt)
-
-Edit `000-default-le-ssl.conf`
-
-Add this at the end:
-```xml
-<Directory /var/www/html/4get>
- RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
- RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
- Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
- AllowOverride All
- Require all granted
-</Directory>
-```
-
-Now since this file is located in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/`, you must change all of the logging shit as to make it not log anything, like we did earlier.
-
-Restart again
-```sh
-service apache2 restart
-```
-
-## Encryption setup on NGINX
-
-Generate a certificate for the domain using:
-
-```sh
-certbot --nginx --key-type ecdsa -d www.yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com
-```
-(Remember to install the nginx certbot plugin!!!)
-
-After doing that certbot should deploy the certificate automatically into your 4get nginx config file. It should be ready to use at that point.
-
-# Jesse it is time to configure the server the fucking bots are back
-
-Wohoo the awful piece of shit setup and fiddling with 3 gazillion files is GONE. All you need to do to configure your shit is to go in `data/config.php` and edit the self-documenting configuration file. You can also specify proxies in `data/proxies/whatever.txt` and captcha images in `data/captcha/category/1.png`... I further explain how to deal with that garbage in the config file I mentionned.
-
-# (Optional) Tor setup
-
-1. Install `tor`.
-2. Open `/etc/tor/torrc`
-3. Go to the line that contains `HiddenServiceDir` and `HiddenServicePort`
-4. Uncomment those 2 lines and set them like this:
- ```
- HiddenServiceDir /var/lib/tor/4get
- HiddenServicePort 80 127.0.0.1:80
- ```
-5. Start the tor service using `systemctl start tor`
-6. Wait some seconds...
-7. Login as root and execute this command: `cat /var/lib/tor/4get/hostname`
-8. That is your onion address.
-
-After you get your onion address you will need to configure your Apache or Nginx config or you will get 404 errors.
-
-I don't know to configure this shit on Apache so here is the NGINX one.
-
-## Tor setup on NGINX
-
-Important Note: Tor onion addresses are significantly longer than traditional domain names. Before proceeding with Nginx configuration, ensure you increase the `server_names_hash_bucket_size` value in your `nginx.conf` file. This setting in your Nginx configuration controls the internal data structure used to manage multiple server names (hostnames) associated with your web server. Each hostname requires a certain amount of memory within this structure. If the size is insufficient, Nginx will encounter errors.
-
-1. Open your `nginx.conf` file (that is under `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`).
-2. Find the line containing `# server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;`.
-3. Uncomment the line and adjust the value. Start with 64, but if you encounter issues, incrementally increase it (e.g., 128, 256) until it accommodates your configuration.
-
-Open your current 4get NGINX config (that is under `/etc/nginx/sites-available/`) and append this to the end of the file:
-
-```
-server {
- access_log /dev/null;
- error_log /dev/null;
-
- listen 80;
- server_name <youronionaddress>;
- root /var/www/4get;
-
- location @php {
- try_files $uri.php $uri/index.php =404;
- # Change the unix socket address if it's different for you.
- fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
- fastcgi_index index.php;
- # Change this to `fastcgi_params` if you use a debian based distro.
- include fastcgi.conf;
- fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
- }
-
- location / {
- try_files $uri @php;
- }
-
- location ~* ^(.*)\.php$ {
- return 301 $1;
- }
-}
-```
-
-Obviously replace `<youronionaddress>` by the onion address of `/var/lib/tor/4get/hostname` and then check if the nginx config is valid with `nginx -t` if yes, then restart the nginx service and try opening the onion address into the Tor Browser. You can see a real world example [here](https://git.zzls.xyz/Fijxu/etc-configs/src/branch/selfhost/nginx/sites-available/4get.zzls.xyz.conf)
