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.
Login as root.
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
andCustomLog
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!!!
