I love the design of lofi.co and I want to keep it alive even after it shuts down.

...and maybe even more things but I don't know yet.

Since lofi.co will shut down, their assets at https://lofico.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com will probably also shut down - not sure about that though.

To prevent losing any of those assets, I've dumped and mirrored them at https://lofi-co-assets.vexcited.com. You can spin up your own assets mirror by serving these dumps from Google Drive. Each .zip file is a folder, you can use the directory listing of my mirror as reference.

Create a file .env.local. The contents will depend if you use cloud or locally hosted assets.

# Cloud
VITE_ASSETS_URL=https://lofi-co-assets.vexcited.com
# Local
VITE_ASSETS_URL=https://localhost:8080

After creating .env.local, install the dependencies and run the local server with npm or pnpm

npm install
npm run dev

Download the assets from Google Drive and unzip them under a directory named web_assets at the root of the project.

Then, you can use Docker compose to run both the assets web server and the development server with listening changes:

docker compose up --build --watch

Or run them in separate terminals with a static file server like live-server.

Terminal 1:

npm install -g live-server
live-server ./web_assets --no-browser --port=8080

Terminal 2:

npm run dev
