+# QotNews
+
+## Self-hosting
+
+Install dependencies:
+
+```text
+# Python:
+$ sudo apt update
+$ sudo apt install python3 python3-pip python-virtualenv python3-virtualenv
+
+# Yarn / nodejs:
+# from https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/#debian-stable
+$ curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+$ echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
+$ sudo apt update
+$ sudo apt install yarn
+```
+
+Clone this repo:
+
+```text
+$ git clone https://gogs.tannercollin.com/tanner/qotnews.git
+$ cd qotnews
+```
+
+### API Server
+
+Create a venv, activate it, and install:
+
+```text
+$ cd apiserver
+$ virtualenv -p python3 env
+$ source env/bin/activate
+(env) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Configure Praw for your Reddit account:
+
+* Go to https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps
+* Click "Create app"
+* Name: whatever
+* App type: script
+* Description: blank
+* About URL: blank
+* Redirect URL: your GitHub profile
+* Submit, copy the client ID and client secret into `praw.ini`:
+
+```text
+(env) $ vim praw.ini
+[bot]
+client_id=paste here
+client_secret=paste here
+user_agent=script by github/your-username-here
+```
+
+Now you can run the server:
+
+```text
+(env) $ python server.py
+```
+
+### Readability Server
+
+Used as a fallback if outline.com doesn't work
+
+```text
+# In a different terminal
+$ cd ../readerserver
+$ yarn install
+```
+
+Now you can run the server:
+
+```text
+$ node main.js
+```
+
+### Webclient
+
+```text
+# In a different terminal
+$ cd ../webclient
+$ yarn install
+$ yarn build
+```
+
+The webclient is served by the API server, so you can close this terminal.
+
+### Security
+
+It's recommended to run QotNews as its own Linux user, kept alive with [supervisor](https://pypi.org/project/supervisor/).
+
+Add a `qotnews` Linux user, move the repo into its home folder.
+
+Configure `/etc/supervisor/conf.d/qotnews.conf`:
+
+```text
+[program:qotnewsapi]
+user=qotnews
+directory=/home/qotnews/qotnews/apiserver
+command=/home/qotnews/qotnews/apiserver/env/bin/python -u server.py
+stopsignal=INT
+autostart=true
+autorestart=true
+stderr_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsapi.log
+stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
+stdout_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsapi.log
+stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
+
+[program:qotnewsreader]
+user=qotnews
+directory=/home/qotnews/qotnews/readerserver
+command=node main.js
+autostart=true
+autorestart=true
+stderr_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsreader.log
+stderr_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
+stdout_logfile=/var/log/qotnewsreader.log
+stdout_logfile_maxbytes=1MB
+```
+
+To expose QotNews to http / https, you should configure nginx to reverse proxy:
+
+```text
+server {
+    listen 80;
+
+    root /var/www/html;
+    index index.html index.htm;
+
+    server_name news.t0.vc;
+
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:33842/;
+        proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Then run `sudo certbot --nginx` and follow the prompts, enable redirect.
