They are good but I find them a little to feature-heavy.
I wanted to start from scratch, but didn’t want to go with the standard feed readers (feedly, inoreader, etc). Recently, I wanted to get back to RSS feeds - there was a bit of a hiatus because I hadn’t kept up with it for a month or so and my feeds overflowed, so there was an increasing impetus to get back to it. (p.s.Miniflux - a self-hosted, minimalistic RSS reader Time alone will tell if I’ve made an insane bargain on the use of my time or this setup is going down the drain. This is day 1 of implementation and it’s a miracle that I’ve managed to write about it. Will I procrastinate and let the articles pile up?.I’ve invested time and energy into a solution that should help me keep up to date with news. This would be something I’ll be looking into over the weekends. The correct solution would be to fix the CSP headers somehow but I couldn’t get the correct syntax for overriding content-security-policy on Nginx. But it was an undesirable solution, since I’m losing performance for no reason. I am not sure what exactly it does but it messed up the loading of a important library which cause many of the action links to fail.ĭisabling Rocker Loader worked. I eventually narrowed down to Rocket Loader, which is a JS lazy loading optimizer. I struggled for perhaps an hour because of some CSP settings that causes JavaScript to be blocked on the Miniflux’s web app. I honestly do not know enough about RSS readers to recommend for other platforms, but there is definitely enough integration options on Miniflux that it should be able to satisfy your needs. The one recommended to me was Fiery Feeds (iOS), it worked perfectly for me. But if you want an mobile app of your choice, you can enable Fever API integration on Miniflux which most RSS readers seem to be able to integrate with. Miniflux has a web app that you can pretty much use out of the box regardless of which platform you’re on. Once you’ve added your RSS feed of choice, this is what it looks like. This saves me a ton of time from not having to be redirected for every single damn article.
#Self hosted rss feed reader full
This allows the service to fetch the full content instead of the half-ass articles where you have to “click to read more”.
When adding your feed, an extremely useful option to enable is Fetch original content. More details on how I setup the network can be found on the post of Setting up Webdav. This service was then exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager which relies on mTLS to establish a connection with Cloudflare (my CDN of choice). DATABASE_URL=postgres://YOUR_USER: /miniflux?sslmode=disable Docs on configurable parameters version: '3' Here’s the docker-compose.yml file that I used to get up and running. It was so simple that I got the docker up and running on my Synology NAS within minutes. TLDR it’s a very simple and opinionated RSS reader that has a self-hosted option. In my search for something that just “works”, Dickson hooked me up again with another recommendation that does exactly what I ask for: works.
What about RSS readers? I remember using Google Reader donkey’s years ago before it was abruptly shut down and I never did get back to RSS readers from then on probably something to do with the trauma of losing all my news feed suddenly without a good alternative. But I’ve very quickly realized that it is just not part of my routine to check news via telegram. In an attempt to stay more updated with the things that are happening online, I’ve recently started following the top stories on Hackernews via the Telegram channel.
