rimgu: image host alternative frontend

rimgu is an alternative frontend / proxy for imgur

It's read-only and works without browser JavaScript. Images and albums can be viewed without wasting resources and anyonymity from downloading and running tracking scripts. No sign-up nags.

It's lightweight and easy to configure.

Inspired by and (soon) integratable with:

• searx
• teddit
• Privacy Redirect
• nitter
• bibliogram

Building

Locally

Dependencies:

• node.js >= v16 (earlier most likely works fine)

$ npm install && npm run build

Docker

$ docker build -t rimgu:latest .

$ node dist/index.js

Docker

$ docker run -p 8080:8080 -e -it RIMGU_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0 -e RIMGU_PORT=8080 rimgu:latest
