Please checkout the pre_guest_accounts branch or ask Zedeus for a few guest accounts to fix this issue.

Can't find it

[PrivacyDevel]

It's here: https://github.com/PrivacyDevel/nitter/tree/pre_guest_accounts Or you can just do a git checkout 813a71e4d33aab8a3847857444921a61b37117db to go to the last non guest account version and fork off of that for now.

Hello,

I was able to get my local instance running with your latest container image and a guest_account.json. The account is created with the snipplet. Then I copied the json to the container with docker cp. Maybe this is also an approach for @xbdmHQ .

So far so good, however I noticed one thing, your instances show posts for e.g. noclador/media where mine and also nitter.net only show "No items found".

What is the secret sauce with your instance?

[PrivacyDevel]

@jve-engineering I think it depends on what country you are accessing the Twitter servers from. My instance didn't show age restricted content with the newest changes either, initially.

Then I started using a proxy from another country and now everything works.

From what I observed, it looks like France and the Netherlands are more restricted than the Czech Republic, for example.

@PrivacyDevel Maybe put an example guest_accounts.json in the repo to fix confusion

[slikie]

Can't seem to get it working by mounting guest_accounts.json in docker-compose.

volumes:
  - ./guest_accounts.json:/src/guest_accounts.json:Z,ro

@slikie, maybe it works with @jve-engineering's suggesting above?

[xbdmHQ]

Oh i forgot about this issue. I have resolved my issue with this sense then, If anyone still having problems getting their public instance up and running. I will have my configuration fork here.

@slikie, maybe it works with @jve-engineering's suggesting above?

It would work, but it doesn't seem to be the right approach, as the accounts expire fairly frequently(around 1 months).

Even with docker run -v $(pwd)/guest_accounts.json:/src/guest_accounts.json -v $(pwd)/nitter.conf:/src/nitter.conf -d --network host ghcr.io/privacydevel/nitter:master It still gets the same error of SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?).

Maybe this is more of a upstream issue though. Edit: seems to have been fixed by upstream on the latest commits.

It would work, but it doesn't seem to be the right approach, as the accounts expire fairly frequently(around 1 months).

The guest_accounts.json file needs to be replaced every 30 days somehow, yes. There is no way around this really with the current solution.

[slikie]

It would be a hassle to manage inside docker but way less annoyance with bind mounts. Please merge upstream as it fixes this issue.
