reddit/README.md

Places to configure

./compose.yaml

You can change the host port, host volume directories, how often reddit is scanned for new data, and how often old data is removed.

./app/config.py

You can change how much data is pulled, from where, the minimum score to save it to your DB, and how long it is retained.

Startup

docker compose build
docker compose up

The DB is created automatically. You will want to run

docker exec -it reddit-web-1 sh -c "python3 /app/scrape_posts.py"

to populate the DB with initial data, or you will have to wait for the scheduled task to get triggered for the web page to be usable.

Thanks

This wouldn't be possible without https://github.com/datavorous/yars, which has been yoinked and tweaked to handle some more complex media cases. I will port my knowledge back to the project when time permits.
