# Proxy Raye

Proxy Raye is an alternative front-end for adult websites. Watch videos on a clean UI without tracking and without annoying ads popping up from everywhere!

## Currently supported platforms:

- XVideos
- XNXX
- (...more coming soon!)

## 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:

```
docker-compose up -d
```
And head browser to `localhost:8069`.

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`.

# Modify
If you want to edit the project you can start development mode by opening root folder via console and running:

```
npm install
npm run dev
```
The project uses following tech stack:

 - NextJS 14 (w/App router)
 - Typescript
 - Redux
 - Pico CSS with Sass
 - Next/Intl

It scrapes data server-side and return treated data to the frontend to be rendered.
# Deploy

## Vercel

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.

Due to Vercel's *serverless* nature (which makes every request to XVideos and other platforms come from a different IP) it becomes very hard for *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.
