Show HN: Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever

Show HN: Self-host Reddit – 2.38B posts, works offline, yours forever

Reddit's API is effectively dead for archival. Third-party apps are gone. Reddit has threatened to cut off access to the Pushshift dataset multiple times. But 3.28TB of Reddit history exists as a torrent right now, and I built a tool to turn it into something you can browse on your own hardware.

The key point: This doesn't touch Reddit's servers. Ever. Download the Pushshift dataset, run my tool locally, get a fully browsable archive. Works on an air-gapped machine. Works on a Raspberry Pi serving your LAN. Works on a USB drive you hand to someone.

What it does: Takes compressed data dumps from Reddit (.zst), Voat (SQL), and Ruqqus (.7z) and generates static HTML. No JavaScript, no external requests, no tracking. Open index.html and browse. Want search? Run the optional Docker stack with PostgreSQL – still entirely on your machine.

API & AI Integration: Full REST API with 30+ endpoints – posts, comments, users, subreddits, full-text search, aggregations. Also ships with an MCP server (29 tools) so you can query your archive directly from AI tools.

Self-hosting options: - USB drive / local folder (just open the HTML files) - Home server on your LAN - Tor hidden service (2 commands, no port forwarding needed) - VPS with HTTPS - GitHub Pages for small archives

Why this matters: Once you have the data, you own it. No API keys, no rate limits, no ToS changes can take it away.

Scale: Tens of millions of posts per instance. PostgreSQL backend keeps memory constant regardless of dataset size. For the full 2.38B post dataset, run multiple instances by topic.

How I built it: Python, PostgreSQL, Jinja2 templates, Docker. Used Claude Code throughout as an experiment in AI-assisted development. Learned that the workflow is "trust but verify" – it accelerates the boring parts but you still own the architecture.

Show HN: SnackBase – Open-source, GxP-compliant back end for Python teams

Show HN: SnackBase – Open-source, GxP-compliant back end for Python teams

Hi HN, I’m the creator of SnackBase.

I built this because I work in Healthcare and Life Sciences domain and was tired of spending months building the same "compliant" infrastructure (Audit Logs, Row-Level Security, PII Masking, Auth) before writing any actual product code.

The Problem: Existing BaaS tools (Supabase, Appwrite) are amazing, but they are hard to validate for GxP (FDA regulations) and often force you into a JS/Go ecosystem. I wanted something native to the Python tools I already use.

The Solution: SnackBase is a self-hosted Python (FastAPI + SQLAlchemy) backend that includes:

Compliance Core: Immutable audit logs with blockchain-style hashing (prev_hash) for integrity.

Native Python Hooks: You can write business logic in pure Python (no webhooks or JS runtimes required).

Clean Architecture: Strict separation of layers. No business logic in the API routes.

The Stack:

Python 3.12 + FastAPI

SQLAlchemy 2.0 (Async)

React 19 (Admin UI)

Links:

Live Demo: https://demo.snackbase.dev

Repo: https://github.com/lalitgehani/snackbase

The demo resets every hour. I’d love feedback on the DSL implementation or the audit logging approach.

Show HN: FastScheduler – Decorator-first Python task scheduler, async support

Hi! I've built this because I kept reaching for Celery for simple scheduled tasks and it felt like overkill. I just needed "run this function every hour" or "daily at 9am", not distributed workers.

So it's decorators for scheduling (@scheduler.every(5).minutes, @scheduler.daily.at("09:00")), state saves to JSON so jobs survive restarts, and there's an optional FastAPI dashboard if you want to see what's running.

No Redis, no message broker, runs in-process with your app. Trade-off is it's single process only — if you need distributed workers, stick with Celery.
