Format with `mix format` 2021-10-23 15:18:13 -06:00			`import Config`
Move constants to config, update string formatting Not sure if this is the Elixir-y way to do this, but seems more logical than hardcoding values such as redis connection. Also went through and improved how string formatting was performed throughout the app. Rather than "combining" <> "strings" this way, I'm now just doing "#${variable}#{formatting}", which looks a lot cleaner. 2021-10-22 20:07:07 -06:00
Refactor project to new name The name of the project is being refactored from Privacy Revolver to Farside. The reasoning behind this is: 1. A shorter name is easier to remember 2. It can stand for "FOSS alternative redirecting service" (which I know doesn't encapsulate all letters from "farside", but it's close enough). This commit also includes improvements to the update script for determining how far along the script is. 2021-11-07 12:29:06 -07:00			`config :farside,`
Allow bypassing app router with `FARSIDE_NO_ROUTER` Setting the aforementioned env var skips creation of the app router, which is useful for running update.exs when the main app is already running (otherwise there's a port conflict). 2021-11-15 20:09:34 -07:00			`port: 4001,`

Display list of available instances on home page This introduces a number of new changes: - Services are now inserted into redis with a prefix prepended to the key name. This allows for easier filtering to get only live instances. - The home page now uses an eex template for displaying all live instances for every service, determined by the last update - A "last_updated" field was added - farside.ex was added to contain all functionality related to querying for instances (WIP) - Other improvements 2021-11-08 17:08:19 -07:00			`service_prefix: "service-",`
Prevent same instance from being selected twice in a row Introduces a new db key "<service>-previous" to track which instance was last selected for a particular service. This allows for filtering the list of available instances to exclude the instance that was last picked, to ensure a (slightly) more even distribution of traffic. There's still the possiblity of the following scenario, however: :service instances > 2 /:service request #1 -> instance #1 /:service request #2 -> instance #2 /:service request #3 -> instance #1 /:service request #4 -> instance #2 where there are many ignored instances for a particular service. One possible solution would be to implement the "<service>-previous" value to be a list, rather than a single value, and push to that list until only one element is left in the original "instance" array after filtering, and then delete the "<service>-previous" key. 2021-11-10 12:19:37 -07:00			`fallback_suffix: "-fallback",`

Automate updates for list of searx instances (#3) * Create nightly update workflow for instances A nightly GitHub Actions CI workflow has been added to fetch new instances of supported services within Farside. Currently only Searx is supported, but obviously others could be added if there are similarly easy ways to fetch and filter instances programmatically. services.json has also been updated with the initial results of the workflow script. * Set headers for every HTTPoison request This serves as a workaround for bot blocking via filtron. * Expand filtering of searx instances New filter enforces: - No Cloudflare - Good TLS config - Good HTTP header config - Vanilla instances or forks - Instances with 100% search success 2021-11-26 09:12:46 -07:00			`index: "index.eex",`
