Repository files navigation

A site similar to12ft.io but is self hosted and works with websites that 12ft.io doesn't work with.

This is a simple self hosted server that has a simple but powerful interface to block ads, paywalls, and other nonsense. Specially for sites like medium, new york times which have paid articles that you normally cannot read. Now I do want you to support the creators you benefit from but if you just wanna see one single article and move on with your day then this might be helpful

It pretends to be GoogleBot (Google's web crawler) and gets the same content that google will get. Google gets the whole page so that the content of the article can be indexed properly and this takes advantage of that.

Requirements:

• docker
• docker-composeFirst, clone the repo to your machine then run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/wasi-master/13ft.gitcd 13ftdocker-compose up

The image is also available fromDockerHub orghcr.io so the commanddocker pull wasimaster/13ft also works.

First, make sure you havepython installed on your machine. Next, clone the git repo. Then go to a terminal (Command Prompt on Windows,Terminal on Mac) and run the following command:

From the git cloned directory on your computer:

cd app/python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

If that doesn't work retry but replacepython withpy, then trypython3, then trypy3

Then runportable.py, clickthis link for a tutorial on how to run python scripts.

python portable.py

Then follow these simple steps

Go to the website at the url shown in the console

Click on the input box

Paste your desired url

Voilà you now have bypassed the paywall and ads

You can also append the url at the end of the link and it will also work. (e.g if your server is running athttp://127.0.0.1:5000 then you can go tohttp://127.0.0.1:5000/https://example.com and it will read out the contents ofhttps://example.com)
