Offtiktok | The Open TikTok Client

Offtiktok allows users to share tiktoks with anyone, regardless of whether they have the app or not, by adding "off" before "tiktok" in the url (e.g: https://vm.offtiktok.com/ZGe7XpCwV/ )

It also includes a minimalistic TikTok feed that allows watching videos recommended by the platform, no ads, no app, no geo-restrictions.

This repository includes the frontend server. If you're looking for the backend, it's here

On your own machine

macOS

     curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.3/install.sh | bash

   • Load nvm:

     export NVM_DIR="$([ -z "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME-}" ] && printf %s "${HOME}/.nvm" || printf %s
     "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
     [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
     

   • Install Node.js:

     nvm install node

Linux

1. Using NodeSource Binaries:

   • Install Node.js and npm:

     curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_18.x | sudo -E bash -

     "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/nvm")"
     [ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
     

   • Install Node.js:

     nvm install node

Windows

1. Using Node.js Installer:

   • Download the Windows installer from the Node.js website.
   • Run the installer and follow the prompts.

     nvm  install  latest
     nvm  use  latest
     

After installation, verify that Node.js and npm are installed correctly by running:

node  -v
npm  -v

2. Install dependencies

To instal project dependencies, run: npm install

3. Configure your .env

Create a .env file and copy the contets of the .env.template file included in the repository.

The INTERNAL API URL should just be the frontend's URL

The EXTERNAL API URL should be your backend's URL

4. Ready for dev!

Run npm run dev to get your development server running in port 2000

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.
