Navigation gestures Horizontal swipe used to advance the carousel and then, on the last slide, fling you into the next post — one gesture meaning two things. Horizontal is now carousel-only. On touch, vertical swipe moves between posts (down on the first post still dismisses, keeping drag-to-close where it can't mean "previous"). Desktop keeps the arrows outside the modal. URLs Permalinks now mirror Instagram: /<archive>/ profile /<archive>/reels/ tab /<archive>/p/<shortcode>/ post A post URL carries no tab, as on Instagram; the tab is re-derived from the post's source, so opening a reel link lands on the Reels tab with next/prev paging through reels. Sidecar posts keep directory-scoped ids internally but expose only the shortcode. The old ?a=&t=&p= form is still parsed so existing links keep working, and reserved prefixes (api, archives, assets…) can never be mistaken for a profile name. Animations Adds a shared motion vocabulary tuned to feel native: critically damped springs rather than fixed-duration easing, and gestures hand their exit velocity to the animation so a flick continues instead of restarting. Post transitions animate along the axis the input implies — vertical for a swipe, horizontal for the arrows. Modal and story viewer present/dismiss with a scale, tiles and highlight circles get touch-down feedback, and prefers-reduced-motion is honoured throughout. Adds 22 routing tests (58 total).

InstaArchive Viewer
A high-performance React PWA for browsing archived Instagram data with a native-feeling interface. Supports both official Instagram exports and Instaloader archives.
Features
- Advanced Carousel: Seamless, zero-latency transitions between slides with intelligent preloading. Navigating between different posts is now near-instant thanks to inter-post background preloading.
- High-Res Performance: Handles 50MP+ images effortlessly using a background Web Worker and a memory-safe serial processing queue.
- Persistent Local Caching: Uses IndexedDB to store parsed archives and generated thumbnails. Local folders now load instantly from cache on return visits without needing to re-upload files.
- Permalinks: State is synchronized with the URL, allowing you to share direct links to archives, tabs, or specific posts. Navigating back to the explorer cleans up URL parameters automatically.
- Glassy Scanning UI: A refined, translucent white terminal experience with flicker-free, double-buffered dynamic blurred backgrounds.
- PWA with Auto-Update: Fully offline-capable and installable. Clients automatically receive updates when a new version is deployed to the server.
- Local Privacy: All processing is done client-side. Even when using the self-hosted version, your media is processed locally in your browser and never uploaded.
- Smart Fallbacks: Automatically detects usernames from folder names and uses the oldest archive image as a profile picture if one is missing.
- Customizable Grid: 1:1 or 3:4 aspect ratios with adjustable "bumps" for aesthetic alignment.
- Story Viewer: Native-like story experience with segmented progress bars, auto-playback, and audio controls.
- Navigation Protection: Intercepts accidental browser "Back" or "Refresh" actions to protect your current session.
Deployment
Docker (Recommended)
The easiest way to run InstaArchive is using Docker.
docker run -d \
-p 3000:3000 \
-v /path/to/your/archives:/archives:ro \
ghcr.io/ergosteur/instaarchive-viewer:latest
Note for Linux/SELinux users: If you see "Permission Denied" in the logs, append
,zto your volume mount:-v /path/to/archives:/archives:ro,z
Docker Compose
Create a compose.yml file:
services:
instaarchive:
image: ghcr.io/ergosteur/instaarchive-viewer:latest
ports:
- "3000:3000"
volumes:
- ./archives:/archives:ro,z # ,z handles SELinux permissions
Troubleshooting Permissions
If the app shows "No Archives Found" and logs EACCES: permission denied:
- Check Directory Permissions: Ensure the archive folder is world-readable:
chmod -R 755 /path/to/archives - SELinux (Fedora/RHEL/CentOS): Use the
:zflag in your volume mount as shown above. - User Mapping: The container runs as the non-root
nodeuser (UID 1000). If your archives are readable only by another account, run as that user instead — the container needs to list the archive directory, so--x(traverse-only) permissions are not enough:In Compose:docker run --user $(stat -c '%u:%g' /path/to/archives) ...services: instaarchive: user: "1234:1234" # a UID that can read your archives
Archive Index
On first start the server walks the archive root once and caches the result,
keyed by directory mtime. This matters on network storage: for a 110k-file
archive root, listing went from ~52s per request to ~0.1s. Mount a volume at
/cache (or set CACHE_DIR) so the index survives restarts, otherwise it is
rebuilt on every start.
Supported Archive Structure
Place your archive folders inside the mounted /archives directory. The directory name will be used as the account username.
