#SELF HOSTED RSS UPDATE#
I will update this post with any news with Miniflux.A news aggregator, also termed a feed aggregator, feed reader, news reader, RSS reader, is an application that aggregates web content such as newspapers/blogs/vlogs/podcasts in one location for easy viewing.

One thing that gives me a spark of hope is that there was a new point release this month. The developer is clearly trying to convey a no-BS attitude with his intentions for this app. On his site, reading down the list of what Miniflux is not vs what it is makes me take heart. I think I’m going to give it another shot. I ran Miniflux for a short time a while back and my memory is a bit hazy on the experience (after a while RSS reader experiences tend to blend in with one another). But I’m starting to get discouraged by a few nagging bugs and the lack of recent updates to the github repo. I’m currently running FreshRSS and it’s really, really good.
#SELF HOSTED RSS ANDROID#
However, I didn’t like the Android experience (what, no swipe?) so I went looking for something else. I would prefer something that uses less memory on the DB side, either MyISAM tables or better yet SQLite. Although it’s supposed to be tiny, and the application part is, it requires Postgres or MySQL with InnoDB support.He seems to take pleasure in ridiculing people in the support forums. The primary developer is not friendly.This is not necessarily specific to tt-rss, many apps are hard to config this way. I had quite a bit of trouble trying to get it to run from a subdirectory on Nginx.There are three larger downsides to tt-rss: This and the rest of the readers listed are written in PHP. Nice, but not as configurable as I’d like. You need Java, some java tools like maven, a DB and of course more than a little bit of RAM. CommafeedĬommafeed is also a larger piece of software, but requires many fewer components than Newsblur. Seems very well designed for a massive multi-user operation, though, if you’ve got the Python chops to figure everything out.
#SELF HOSTED RSS HOW TO#
No idea what I did wrong or how to even figure out how why it wasn’t working. NewsblurĪwesome platform, but way too big for someone looking to host their own personal solution. Bonus points go to apps that have configurable keyboard navigation (“j” to open the next item must be distinct from “space” to just scroll down in the browser), as well as decent integration on mobile. After the Google Reader-pocalypse, one of the primary requirements was that I could host it myself. I think I’ve tried pretty much all of them.
