Hey all,

I use redlib instead of reddit for the info I still need to access on that platform. Recently, and with the API changes, the existing public instances being unreliabile cause of that I was maybe looking to host an instance myself. I don’t know if I wanna keep it private or not but in the scenario that I do make it a public instance, how would I manage this? Is it a good idea to host this in my home, cause I have a residential IP. I dont want to get that banned by reddit, so residential proxies? I assume a random VPN would be blocked. Also what about bot protection? Anubis and crowdsec? What specs would be needed for such an instance?

Thank you!

    I’ve been hosting this Redlib fork for my own personal use behind Netbird to access a couple of niche communities with great success.

    Oh yeah, specs.
    The service runs dockerized in a Proxmox lxc Debian container next to searxng and uses little in the way of resources:
    0.61% of 1 CPU
    Memory usage
    21.95% (449.54 MiB of 2.00 GiB)
    Bootdisk size
    70.03% (8.20 GiB of 11.71 GiB)
