Installation

Docker

Using Docker and docker-compose:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up

Omgur should now be running at http://localhost:8080.

Prebuilt images are also available at registry.wuhoo.xyz/jerry/omgur:latest and registry.gitlab.com/geraldwuhoo/omgur:latest.

Manual

Install Golang.
(Optional) Install redis-server. Caches images from imgur – highly recommended.
Clone and set up the repository.

git clone https://wuhoo.xyz/jerry/gerald/omgur
cd omgur
go mod init git.geraldwu.com/gerald/omgur
go mod tidy
go build -v -a ./cmd/omgur
export REDIS_HOST=localhost
redis-server
./omgur

Omgur should now be running at http://localhost:8080. It is possible to change the listening port with the OMGUR_LISTEN_PORT environment variable if you already have services using the default port 8080.
