Freedium is a self-hostable web application that renders Medium.com articles behind the paywall for free, serving as the codebase behind freedium.cfd. It is built with Python/FastAPI on the backend, Tailwind CSS and Jinja2/Svelte on the frontend, and deployed via Docker Compose with Caddy, PostgreSQL, and a Redis-compatible cache.

Use cases

  • read medium articles without a paywall
  • self-host a medium paywall bypass service
  • parse medium article content into readable html
  • run a freedium instance locally
  • deploy a proxy service for medium content

When to choose

  • you want to self-host your own instance of the freedium.cfd service
  • you need a deployable FastAPI + Docker stack that fetches and renders Medium articles
  • you want to inspect or contribute to the Medium article parsing logic

When to avoid

  • you need a supported, licensed library to embed in another project (no license is specified)
  • you want a maintained paywall bypass for sites other than Medium
  • you need guaranteed Windows or macOS support (only Linux is tested)
