Nitter

Last updated on 28 September 2022

When browsing Twitter [1], I use a self-hosted Nitter [2] instance. Nitter allows you to browse Twitter using a more privacy-respecting front-end.

To run Nitter, create a `docker-compose.yml`:

version: "3"

services:

  nitter:
    image: zedeus/nitter:latest
    ports:
      - "8085:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./nitter.conf:/src/nitter.conf:ro
    depends_on:
      - nitter-redis
    restart: unless-stopped

  nitter-redis:
    image: redis:6-alpine
    command: redis-server --save 60 1 --loglevel warning
    volumes:
      - ./nitter-redis:/data
    restart: unless-stopped

Simply bring up the service, navigate to the IP address or domain, and get started.

I run Nitter in my Tailscale network and so do not bother with TLS certificates. If needed, I recommend using Traefik [3] to manage and provision the certificates.
