Pinata is Yet Another Pinterest Frontend.

Self-explanatory. It's built with the idea of being light as possible, and shamefully vibecoded.

The Docker image, built by you, ranges between 5-7 MB, and the entire workings depend on a single main.go.

Pinata takes very little memory to run, about 7MB of memory with an Chimera docker image when active (15~ MB with Chunk Mode enabled), and 1MB when idle. In addition, the frontend uses no Javascript, which makes it friendly to low-end systems like netbooks!

Despite being so light, Pinata supports bookmarks via cookies (encrypted!) and can be made a PWA on your phone.

How to run

Go

Port 8080 is needed to run with this method; Docker is most recommended if that is taken.

• Clone this repo.
• (optional, but bookmarks will be unavailable) head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64 and then export PINATA_BOOKMARK_KEY=resultofpreviouscommand.
• go build -trimpath -ldflags="-s -w" -o pinata ./main.go
• Wait a few seconds for that tasty binary.
• Run in background with ./pinata &

Docker Compose (recommended)

• Clone this repo.
• Tweak compose.yml as you see fit and follow instructions if you want to enable bookmarks.
• docker compose up -d
• docker compose pull && docker compose up -d to update.
