More scrapers are coming soon. I currently want to add Hackernews, Qwant and find a way to scrape Yandex web without those fucking captchas. A shopping, music and files tab is also in my todo list.

Setup

This section is still to-do. You will need to figure shit out for some of the apache2 stuff. Everything else should be OK.

apt install apache2 certbot php-dom 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

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

Setup encryption

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.

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:

<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

service apache2 restart

You'll probably want to setup a tor address at this point, but I'm too lazy to put instructions here.

Ok bye!!!

Docker Install

git clone https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get
cd 4get
docker build -t 4get .
docker run -d -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -e FOURGET_SERVER_NAME="4get.ca" -e FOURGET_SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL="you@example.com" -v /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.tld:/etc/4get/certs 4get

replace enviroment variables FOURGET_SERVER_NAME and FOURGET_SERVER_ADMIN_EMAIL with relevant values

the certs directory expects files named cert.pem, chain.pem, privkey.pem
