Networking

AnonymousOverflow — a privacy-friendly, ad-free front-end for Stack Overflow (and the Stack Exchange network) that strips trackers and cleans up the reading experience. Deployed as a single host-networked Nomad service.

nomad-pack run anonymousoverflow --registry nomploy

…or one line (add registry + run)

curl -fsSL https://packs.nomploy.com/install.sh | sh -s -- anonymousoverflow

Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

Readme

anonymousoverflow

AnonymousOverflow is a privacy-respecting front-end for Stack Overflow and the wider Stack Exchange network. It renders questions and answers without ads, trackers or the login walls, in a clean, fast, readable layout — and pairs nicely with redirector extensions like LibRedirect.

This pack runs AnonymousOverflow as a single host-networked Nomad service. It's stateless.

Deploy

nomad-pack run anonymousoverflow --registry=nomploy \
  --var app_url=https://ao.example.com \
  --var jwt_signing_secret=$(openssl rand -hex 24)

Open http://<node-ip>:8080.

Configuration

`port`	`8080`	Host port for the web UI.
