Hey,
Are you trying to use the request-url-template option because Reddit is blocking requests from your VPS or is it that you're trying to change the links to the comments so you can link to your own Reddit front-end? The former will require you to set up an HTTP proxy and then point to it:
request-url-template: https://your-proxy.com/{REQUEST-URL}
The latter is done by using the comments-url-template property:
comments-url-template: https://old.reddit.com/{POST-PATH}
Reddit is blocking requests from my VPS, so when i put thisrequest-url-template: https://your-proxy.com/{REQUEST-URL} it give me this error Get "/https:/www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/hot.json": stopped after 10 redirects
Which HTTP proxy are you using and can you confirm that it proxies requests successfully from your VPS?
Yes, you would need to have a reverse proxy that isn't blocked by Reddit which sends the requests on behalf of Glance. Assuming your proxy lives on your home network and your home network isn't publicly accessible, you'd also need to have the VPS and your home network connected to the same VPN. Something like cors-anywhere or nginx can work as the reverse proxy.
All of that looks a little something like this:
