ProxiTok

Use Tiktok with an alternative frontend, inspired by Nitter.

Features

• Privacy: All requests made to TikTok are server-side, so you will never connect to their servers
• See user's feed
• See trending
• See tags
• See video by id
• Create a following list, which you can later use to see all the feeds from those users
• RSS Feed for user, trending and tag (just add /rss to the url)

composer install

WARNING: You'll need a personal Github token for composer.

Then you can run it using for example the PHP Development Server with:

php -S localhost:8080

Move the .env.example file to .env and modify it.

Cache engines

Available cache engines:

• redis: Writes response to Redis
• json: Writes response to JSON file

Apache

You don't have to do anything more

Nginx

Add the following to your config (you can modify the proxitok part if you have or not a subdir):

location /proxitok {
    return 302 $scheme://$host/proxitok/;
}

location /proxitok/ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /proxitok/index.php?$query_string;
}

location /proxitok/.env {
    deny all;
    return 404;
}

TODO

• Add a NoJS version / Make the whole program without required JS
• Better error handling
• Make video on /video fit screen and don't overflow
