gtranslate, dockerized

Official description: "Better front-end for Google Translate that doesn't track you and works without JavaScript."

This is a simple image I made for an interesting Go app. It has not been fully tested. Check out the official git repo for more info on parameters etc.

Official git repository here

Notice: the project may have been deprecated in favor of simplytranslate.

Installation

  1. Clone this repo
  2. Check if the default parameters are ok
  3. Remove the comments from the ports section if you want to expose it via a port or leave it if you want to use a reverse proxy
  4. Run docker-compose build --no-cache to avoid the docker caching mechanism skipping the git clone step and miss new commits
  5. Run docker-compose up -d

Reverse proxy

This app does not require a special setup. If you're using caddy it's as simple as

gtranslate.example.com {
  reverse_proxy  your_container_name:5000
}

docker ps | grep gtranslate can be used to find out your container name

Tor

Tor has not been tested yet, it will be sometime in the future. If you want to try it by yourself you should be able to add a tor container to the docker-compose.yml file following the official instructions and change PROXY to socks5://tor-container:tor-port, getting something like PROXY=socks5://obfs4-bridge:9050.

Updates

  1. Run docker-compose build --no-cache to avoid the docker caching mechanism skipping the git clone step and miss new commits
  2. Run docker-compose up -d
