Amber Valley Community Hub

A VLESS fallback landing site — served to unauthenticated visitors to make the proxy server appear as a legitimate community website.

Overview

This site acts as a decoy frontend for a VLESS proxy server. When a visitor accesses the server without the correct proxy credentials or path, they are served this community video library instead of a proxy handshake error. This prevents fingerprinting of the proxy endpoint.

Tech Stack

• React 18 — UI framework
• Vite — build tool
• Tailwind CSS — styling (amber color theme)
• Nginx — static file serving inside Docker
• Docker / Docker Compose — containerized deployment

Features

• Fake community events video library with 42+ locally-stored thumbnail previews
• Amber-tinted modern UI with animations
• Video click triggers an authorization dialog (non-functional by design)

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Run dev server:

npm run dev

Generate video thumbnails:

npm run generate-thumbnails

Build for production:

npm run build

Deployment

The site runs on port 8081 via Docker Compose.

Build and start:

docker compose up -d --build

Stop:

docker compose down

The container serves the built static site via Nginx on port 80 internally, mapped to 8081 on the host.
