"Error: Received a non-OK status code" means that your instance is blocked by StackOverflow, to 'fix' this you can route the traffic of the AnonymousOverflow container over a VPN using GlueTun.

I couldn't find any straightforward guide so I wrote this one after a little bit of research, I opted for Cloudflare Warp since it's free and traffic is encrypted with HTTPS anyway. But you can use any of these providers, in that case you can skip to step 7 after adding your AnonymousOverflow ports to GlueTun's docker compose file.

1. Install wgcf
   https://github.com/ViRb3/wgcf/blob/master/README.md (this tool generates a WireGuard config for Cloudflare WARP)

2. Run wgcf register and accept the terms and conditions of Cloudflare

3. Run wgcf generate to generate a WireGuard config (this will save to wgcf-profile.conf)

Now we're gonna install GlueTun, it's a VPN client in the form of a Docker container. We need this to actually use the WireGuard config we generated

4. First create a folder for GlueTun
   mkdir gluetun

5. Inside of that folder, create a docker compose file using nano docker-compose.yml and paste the following:

version: "3"
services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    environment:
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=custom
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - VPN_ENDPOINT_IP=
      - VPN_ENDPOINT_PORT=
      - WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY=
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=
    ports:
      - '80:8080' #edit these

Modify the ports values to those that you use for AnonymousOverflow

Copy the values for VPN_ENDPOINT_PORT, WIREGUARD_PUBLIC_KEY, WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY from the wgcf-profile.conf that we generated using wgcf generate

For VPN_ENDPOINT_IP, you need to ping engage.cloudflareclient.com and use that IP address, for me it was 162.159.192.1

For WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES, you only need to copy paste the IPv4 address (not the IPv6). For me it was 172.16.0.2/32

7. Now run docker compose up -d to start the GlueTun container and take note of the container name
8. Now edit the docker compose file of AnonymousOverflow and add the following line at the bottom so that all traffic gets send through the GlueTun container. Modify it with your GlueTun container's name and remove the parentheses

    network_mode: container:(name of the GlueTun container)

Remove the ports from AnonymousOverflow docker compose file, since we already added them to GlueTun's. The reason we did this is because Docker doesn't support setting a network_mode and publishing ports at the same time

And then finally run docker compose up -d to start AnonymousOverflow with the new settings

Sources: qdm12/gluetun#1738, https://xtom.com/blog/how-to-route-your-docker-containers-through-a-vpn-gluetun-guide/#

Currently docker users need to build the images every time manually for updates.
Publishing the container images to a image registry would help lessen the burden for instance owners, and allow for auto-updates as well.

I run an instance at https://overflow.r4fo.com and now also at http://overflow.r4focoma7gu2zdwwcjjad47ysxt634lg73sxmdbkdozanwqslho5ohyd.onion.

I have disabled Cloudflare. Can you please edit the list?

Hey there.
Proud to announce that AnonymousOverflow is the first service to be deployed on my new main domain.

The instance is available at https://overflow.777.tf and (as usual) hosted by myself.

It would be much better to have code highlights supported in code fences.

Instance URL: https://ao.bloatcat.tk
Region (Written Out - ex United States): Island
Operated by (Link to your site): https://bloatcat.tk

Good evening,
currently the code snippets are only displayed as plain text, without any syntax highlighting. Support for syntax highlighting would make it easier to quickly get the fundamentals of the provided code by the responder.

There are some JS libraries such as https://github.com/highlightjs/highlight.js that can deal with it, but since the app is currently using Go templates and thus SSR it's probably not the best way to solve it, apart from that you may want the app stay free of JavaScript. I've no clue whether there's any Go solution for it, but if so it would be the better one.

Cheers and thanks for the efforts, hope to see it being used more soon :)

On my instance, I'm getting an error, not sure what the issue is.

What's Happening?

The APP_URL environment variable doesn't seem to take into account routes. For example, if I do http://127.0.0.1/anonymousoverflow and set up a proxy pass with Nginx, content like images doesn't load. This is annoying for Nginx setups like mine which use subdomains to handle different services.

How to reproduce:

1. Clone the repo
2. Set APP_URL in docker-compose.yml to any domain + a route

We want to add AnonymousOverflow to LibRedirect (issue), but can the instances be in a json file? Yes I can fetch them from the README, but it would be unreliable.

We should mirror our repos to Codeberg because:

1. Codeberg is libre, free, open-source, privacy-friendly, non-profit
2. GitHub is privacy-invasive, proprietary
3. People on Codeberg like me can contribute to the project
4. GitHub can take down your repos

Here are some sources for you:

1. https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub
2. humanetech-community/awesome-humane-tech#33
3. ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium#1894

5. andersju/webbkoll#35
6. https://docs.codeberg.org/advanced/migrating-repos

Many front-ends also are living on Codeberg at the moment:

FAQ

1. Q: - GitHub Actions -- this is a huge time saver for me
   - Forcing all contributors to modify their current setup and move to another hosting -- we may just lose contributors in the end

   A: As I said, we only just mirror. The repo will be available and contributable on both sites.

2. Q: - Transferring issues -- is this possible? Issues here represent a technical knowledge base we can't live without
   - Transferring wiki and all edit history -- possible?

   A: Yes, it is possible.
   a. Example for issues:

• andersju/webbkoll#35
• https://codeberg.org/dataskydd.net/webbkoll/issues/35
• andersju/webbkoll#33
• https://codeberg.org/dataskydd.net/webbkoll/issues/33
• zyachel/quetre#7
• https://codeberg.org/zyachel/quetre/issues/7

b. Example for commits:

• https://codeberg.org/dataskydd.net/webbkoll/commit/6ddfbc6c71ab92f754252dd4904cf49fb19672a6
• andersju/webbkoll@6ddfbc6

c. Example for wiki:

• https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Home/_history?page=2
• https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Home?action=_revision

3. Q: Despite having mirror/s, the project will still continue to be operated from GitHub for development, so having yet another mirror doesn't solve anything.

   A: You can create issues, contribute, view the repos on there without going to GitHub! Example:

• https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect
• https://codeberg.org/LibRedirect/libredirect
• https://github.com/zyachel/quetre
• https://codeberg.org/zyachel/quetre

4. Q: How does Codeberg mirror comments from GitHub?

   A: It uses Access Token.
   

5. Q: My repos are very bandwidth-intensive projects, and I have my doubts as to whether the owner(s) of Codeberg would be prepared for such a massive bandwidth rate increase. I've also had individual projects be disabled on small sites before due to taking too much bandwidth.

   A: Oh.. I think you should directly ask https://docs.codeberg.org/contact/ about if they are ready for massive bandwidth rate increase.

Hello, I noticed that a Dockerfile and package is added.

Would you please build multi-arch images (and include linux/arm64) as well? Thank you!

Currently, the parent/wrapper can be quite wide.

This is a stylistic preference, but a long line length also affects readability.

I suggest to add an option to adjust the max-width or a "center mode" that can be toggled on the server side. Thanks.

For instance, the css code can be:

@media (orientation: landscape) { 
.parent {
    max-width: 50%;
    width: fit-content;
}
}
@media (orientation: portrait) { 
.parent {
    max-width: 90%;
    width: fit-content;
}
}

anywhere there is an email (or anything that contains the @ symbol in it) will appear as the html for the cloudflare email obfuscation thing for example <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="dc94b5bbb49c90eff2ee">[email protected]</a>

How to reproduce:

• Go to https://code.whatever.social/questions/60257883/is-it-possible-to-change-volume-with-no-reencode-with-ffmpeg
• Use ctrl+F to find "email-protection" on the page and look at that line.

This userscript here can decode the protected emails https://0xacab.org/dCF/deCloudflare/-/tree/master/tool/cf_email_decoder so something like that could maybe be re-implemented client or server side.

This error is showing up quite often. How does it come to that? Does that mean the instance is blocked or is it just me using one instance to much?

I wonder since i wouldn't mind selfhosting an instance for me (can't run a public instance currently) but if this will hit my local instance as well, it wouldn't make much sense to do so.
