Is there an open source version of HN anywhere?

You might like lamernews[1], made by antirez, which uses redis.

Inspired by HN: https://bitbucket.org/thuijzer/linkdump (PHP)

To add to the other replies: reddit's open source as well[0] and reasonably straightforward to set up (at least using their Ubuntu installer). Not your question, I know, but thought I'd add for completeness.

Closest you can find is news.arc, for example see a mirror on [1]. The canonical source should be in the arc distribution.

When I developed NBT, I started with this: https://github.com/phil303/hacker-news-clone and then modified it beyond recognition :)
