-This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app).
+# Proxy Raye
 
-## Getting Started
+Proxy Raye is an alternative front-end for **XVideos** and (soon) other adult sites. Watch videos on a clean UI without annoying ads popping up from everywhere!
 
-First, run the development server:
+## Working demos
+
+Vercel hosted demo can be found [here](https://proxyraye.vercel.app).
+
+Self-hosted demo can be found [here](https://proxyraye.copyriot.xyz).
+
+# Quickstart
+
+You can run the project on local by cloning the repo. 
+
+Project requires no configuration. 
+
+You can run it via Docker with docker-compose by opening root folder via console and running:
 
-```bash
-npm run dev
-# or
-yarn dev
-# or
-pnpm dev
-# or
-bun dev
 ```
+docker-compose up -d
+```
+And head browser to `localhost:8069`.
 
-Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result.
+Or you can run it outside Docker via npm (tested with NodeJS `20.11`) by opening root folder via console and running:
+```
+npm install
+npm run build
+npm run start
+```
+And head browser to `localhost:3000`.
 
-You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
+### WARNING:
+Proxy Raye tries to avoid ip blacklisting by setting random human-request-like headers at every call. But in the long run (after several hours of continuous requests) XVideos might **temporarily blacklist** your IP address. When this happen, it will stop returning HD videos from pages. Only low quality (SD) will be shown.
 
-This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/font-optimization) to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
+Using a VPN can avoid such issue. 
 
-## Learn More

+If you want to edit the project you can start development mode by  opening root folder via console and running:
 
-To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources:
+```
+npm install
+npm run dev
+```
+The project uses following tech stack:
 
-- [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API.
+ - NextJS 14 (w/App router)
-- [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial.
+ - Typescript
+ - Redux
+ - Pico CSS with Sass
+ - Next/Intl
 
-You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/) - your feedback and contributions are welcome!
+It scrapes data server-side and return treated data to the frontend to be rendered.
+# Deploy
 
-## Deploy on Vercel
+## Vercel
 
-The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js.
+You can deploy the app on Vercel by cloning this repo on your GitHub/Gitlab and making it private. Than create a new Vercel account and import it there. Vercel deploy doesn't need particular configuration.
 
-Check out our [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/deployment) for more details.
+Due to Vercel's *serverless* nature (which makes every request to XVideos and other platforms come from a different IP) it becomes very hard to *Web Application Firewalls* to ban addresses effectively.
+
+## Self-host
+You can self host the project on your local server via docker-compose and reverse-proxy exposed port to nginx.
