# Bibliogram
## An alternative front-end for Instagram.
Bibliogram works without client-side JavaScript, has no ads or tracking, and doesn't urge you to sign up.

These features will not be added, unless you ask _reallllly_ nicely:

## Instances
2020-01-26 15:34:10 +00:00
There is currently no official Bibliogram instance, but there will be in the future.
2020-01-17 14:41:58 +00:00
2020-01-26 15:34:10 +00:00
For now, you can see a list of instances created by the community [on the wiki page](https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram/wiki).
2020-01-12 12:50:21 +00:00
If you only use one computer, you can install Bibliogram on that computer and then access the instance through localhost.
## Installing
2020-01-14 14:44:45 +00:00
Bibliogram depends on GraphicsMagick for resizing thumbnails.
Ubuntu: `# apt install graphicsmagick`
1. `$ git clone https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram`
If you are using a fork, be sure to actually install that fork instead!
1. `$ npm install`
1. Edit `/config.js` to suit your server environment
1. `$ npm start`
2020-01-12 12:50:21 +00:00
Bibliogram is now running on `0.0.0.0:10407`.
