Hi guys, do you know if there is a good RSS Feed service that can be self-hosted which also exposes a good front-end to read the subscribed news? Thanks in advance.

      Agreed. Easy to setup on my synology NAS, and it works so well.

      My only issue I’ve been having, which is not related to FreshRSS, is getting RSS in twitter to work reliably. Nitter hasn’t been reliable at all over the last year.

      The new oAuth feature is also great and integrates well with my other services for family (immich, seafile, etc)

    For a self-hosted RSS feed service, there are several options:

    1. Tiny Tiny RSS: It’s an open-source web-based news feed reader and aggregator for RSS and Atom feeds, praised for its Android client availability.

    2. FreshRSS: A free, self-hosted RSS and Atom feed aggregator that is known for being lightweight, powerful, and customizable. It also supports multi-user access, custom tags, has an API for mobile clients, supports WebSub for instant push notifications, and offers web scraping capabilities.

    3. Miniflux: A minimalist and opinionated feed reader that is straightforward and efficient for reading RSS feeds without unnecessary extras. It’s written in Go, making it simple, fast, lightweight, and easy to install.

    Not self hosted but I did it this way:

      I’ve been using Miniflux for a few years now, no complaints. Mostly with an iOS-based Reeder app, occasionally with the Web frontend.

      I’ve been running Miniflux on a free tier GCP instance for a few months now. Then I use RSS Guard on my desktop and FeedMe on my phone to read stuff.

      I’d like to try FreshRSS, but just cannot get my URLs to resolve correctly with it. After a few hours of trying, I reverted to if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Miniflux all the way for me (for now).

      Just found it and tried on my home server, it works:

      version: '3.3'
services:
  yarr:
    container_name: yarr
    image: maskalicz/yarr:latest
    ports:
    - 7070:7070
    volumes:
    - ./yarr-data:/data:rw

      Anyway, it just have one view mode with 3 panels and it’s not customizable. At the moment, the most featured and exstesible RSS Feed service seems to be FreshRSS as suggested in the thread by @specseaweed@lemmy.world.

        Sorry, but I mixed up apps. I have Yarr directly set up as a systemd service:

        [Unit] Description=Yarr Service After=network.target

        [Service] ExecStart=/home/darkl1nk/yarr/yarr -auth-file=/home/darkl1nk/yarr/auth.file WorkingDirectory=/home/dark

        I downloaded the precompiled package (https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr/releases/download/v2.4/yarr-v2.4-linux64.zip) and placed it at my home directory. Then created a site for nginx to map my subdomain to the local port 7070.

      I like the idea, that might actually get me to pay attention to my RSS feeds. I wonder if anyone has stood up a docker image because it looks like a pain to install and update.

    Tt-rss has been reliable for me, and the frontend is decent. Not to mention you can just republish feeds for a different frontend to use.

    Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

    Fewer Letters More Letters

    NAS Network-Attached Storage
    nginx Popular HTTP server

    2 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 6 acronyms.

    I’ve used tt-rss in the past. Don’t know what state it’s in currently.

    If you have Nextcloud they also have an RSS app.

      It is very stable. Just don’t visit the forum for help. The dev regularly roasts people, which leads to a very toxic environment.

        I switched to FreshRSS which works just as well, and doesn’t have a toxic dev

        I remember years ago it already was like this in the forums. It actually made me stop using it and running a custom made web based reader for some time.

        I wouldn’t use it anymore nowadays.

        FreshRSS is the way to go. It even has plugins (and a plugin for YouTube channels as RSS feeds, very convenient).

    I’ve been quite happy with Miniflux. Easy to install and maintain, simple interface with all features you’ll most likely need. Syncs quite good with most RSS readers. Minflux
