# /r/Pizzagate Archive
|
||||
|
||||
This archive of the /r/Pizzagate community on Reddit preserves 2,294 posts and 628,644 comments from November 7, 2016 through November 22, 2016. It serves as an archive for the 23,098 users whose voices were silenced when Reddit banned the subreddit on November 22, 2016. Created to investigate an international human trafficking and child exploitation ring highlighted by the leaked Podesta emails, its members worked to document evidence, raise awareness, and call for accountability. For further details, please refer to this [investigative post](https://forum.hackliberty.org/t/uncovering-pizzagate-a-citizen-journalist-investigation-warning-nsfw-nsfl/295).

## Hosting via GitHub Pages
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub Pages is an easy way to host static content online. Follow these steps to deploy your archive:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Push Your Repository to GitHub**
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure your repository is available on GitHub under the username `c0mmando` (if you haven't done so already):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git init
|
||||
git add .
|
||||
git commit -m "Initial commit of reddit-pizzagate-archive"
|
||||
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0mmando/reddit-pizzagate-archive.git
|
||||
git push -u origin main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Configure GitHub Pages**
|
||||
|
||||
- Go to your repository on GitHub.
|
||||
- Click on **Settings**.
|
||||
- Scroll down to the **GitHub Pages** section.
|
||||
- Under **Source**, select the branch (e.g., `main`) and choose the folder (typically `/ (root)` if your `index.html` is at the root).
|
||||
- Click **Save**.
|
||||
- GitHub Pages will provide you with a URL where your site is hosted (typically `https://c0mmando.github.io/reddit-pizzagate-archive/`).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Adding a CNAME (Custom Domain)**
|
||||
|
||||
If you wish to use a custom domain:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create a file named `CNAME` (with no file extension) in the root of your repository.
|
||||
- Add your custom domain (for example, `www.example.com`) on a single line in that file.
|
||||
- Commit and push the `CNAME` file:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git add CNAME
|
||||
git commit -m "Add CNAME for custom domain"
|
||||
git push
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Configure your DNS settings to point your custom domain to GitHub Pages.
|
||||
For more details, refer to GitHub’s guide on [configuring a custom domain for your GitHub Pages site](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site).

## Hosting via nginx
|
||||
|
||||
To host the archive using nginx on your own server, follow these steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Install nginx**
|
||||
|
||||
On Ubuntu/Debian:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install nginx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
On CentOS/RHEL:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo yum install epel-release
|
||||
sudo yum install nginx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Clone the Repository onto Your Server**
|
||||
|
||||
Use git clone to download the latest version on your server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /var/www/html
|
||||
sudo git clone https://github.com/c0mmando/reddit-pizzagate-archive.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Configure nginx**
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new configuration file (e.g., `/etc/nginx/sites-available/reddit-pizzagate-archive`):
|
||||
|
||||
```nginx
|
||||
server {
|
||||
listen 80;
|
||||
server_name your_domain_or_ip;
|
||||
|
||||
root /var/www/html/reddit-pizzagate-archive;
|
||||
index index.html;
|
||||
|
||||
location / {
|
||||
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Replace `your_domain_or_ip` with your actual domain or server IP.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Enable the Configuration**
|
||||
|
||||
Create a symbolic link to enable the site:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/reddit-pizzagate-archive /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Restart nginx**
|
||||
|
||||
Apply your changes by restarting nginx:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo systemctl restart nginx
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Access Your Archive**
|
||||
|
||||
Open your web browser and navigate to `http://your_domain_or_ip` (or your configured domain) to view the archive.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Offline Viewing Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer to view the archive offline (e.g., without a web server), you can do so by simply opening the local files directly in your web browser:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Using a File Explorer:**
|
||||
|
||||
- Navigate to the directory where you cloned or downloaded the repository.
|
||||
- Open the `index.html` file (by double-clicking or right-clicking and selecting your preferred browser).
|
||||
|
||||
2. **From the Command Line:**
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using a local HTTP server (such as Python’s built-in one) for a more seamless navigation experience, you can start one in the repository root:
|
||||
|
||||
For Python 3:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/reddit-pizzagate-archive
|
||||
python3 -m http.server 8000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For Python 2:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cd /path/to/reddit-pizzagate-archive
|
||||
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then open your browser and go to `http://localhost:8000/` to navigate the archive as if it were hosted on a web server.
|
||||
|

||||
|
||||
## Additional Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Ensure file permissions allow nginx (or your local HTTP server) to read the archive files.
|
||||
- Changes to GitHub Pages may take a short while to propagate.
|
||||
- Before serving the archive publicly, review any legal or privacy considerations regarding its content.
|
||||
