This Python scripts with a simple HTTP API to use it, can **mirror multiple accounts from Instagram to your Pixelfed** instance.
## Pre-requesites
## Disclaimer
Mirroring Instagram accounts **will copy (clone) the images and videos from Instagram** to your server, thus moving the data sovereignty to you as an Admin.
Always make sure you mirror accounts whos **content is not strictly copyrighted (or branded) and keep the tagging system of the source code** that marks accounts on Pixelfed as Mirrors.
**Users** of your Pixelfed instance have to know **this accounts are not real accounts** as someone on Instagram could create a real Pixelfed account.
## Pre-requisites
- You **need an Instagram account** to make this bot work.
- **A Pixelfed instance** you own. It must be hosted or managed by you (you need shell access for **php artisan commands**)
- **Python 3+ installed** on the same machine as the Pixelfed instance (this is easy, mostly all standard Debian based Linux systems have python3)
- A bit **more disk space** than before. (It depends on how many accounts you mirror and how often that accounts post on IG)
- **Patch 1 file** on Pixelfed deployed code (being on docker or not)
