Self-Hosted RSS Reader

Freedbin 🍔

Feedbin is a simple, fast and nice looking RSS reader - this fork provides a version intended for users who want to host their own copy of it for free, that can be run anywhere with Docker.

Requirements

• Docker
• docker-compose

Installation

• wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rach-sharp/freedbin/master/docker-compose.yml
• Set config values in the docker-compose.yml file
  • MERCURY_API_KEY - External Web Article Parser, sign up for free here
  • SECRET_KEY_BASE - Rails Secret Key which needs to be set for security reasons, explained more here
• docker-compose up
• Access the app from localhost:9292 (first request can take a little while)

All the minimum necessary config parameters required for it to run are set in the Dockerfile. All the config parameters required for interconnectivity with the db etc, are specified in the docker compose file.

The container images are hosted on dockerhub:

• Feedbin
• Feedbin Refresher

Differences to the original

Batteries Included

• Will work without a payment system like stripe
• Doesn't require HTTPS to be enabled (for if you are using at home, or from behind a reverse proxy)
• API is served from the main domain rather than an API subdomain.
• Use open source fonts

Optional Extras

• When ANALYTICS_GTAG environment variable is set, Google Analytics will be enabled

Contributing

Feel free to file PRs for features or fixes you think are specifically useful to the self-hosted version, but if it's generally applicable then contribute to the original Feedbin project which will be merged into this fork periodically.

Roadmap

• Restricting signups to be admin-managed.
• Adding Helm Chart for Kubernetes deployment

freedbin's Issues

Twitter additions aren't working

Mercury API direct access

Hi,

Now that mercury is dead open sourced, I have a local version of it running in docker, using this docker image.

I'm wondering if it's possible to just point to it instead of the API key.

Could you (pr someone else reading this) provide some guidance on this?

Also, thanks so much for dockerizing feedbin! I've been using tt-rss in docker and it IS old! 😛

Want to replace it with something new and fun...

Favicons for feeds don't work without an S3 Bucket

Favicons for feeds are stored in an S3 bucket at the moment. Worth looking into possible ways to decouple from S3, maybe with a container that can act as S3 if that exists, or by storing the favicons for feeds in some other way?

Would it be possible to integrate Mercury?

They don't see to give out keys anymore.

Admin-Managed User Signups

Constantly crashes in the first setup

Operating System: Synology DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 6
Docker Version: 17.05.0-ce (DSM version)

After setting up the docker file, I ran the container but crashed after 10 seconds. Seems like the PostgreSQL is malfunctioning. Log is attached as an output from the Docker (HTML version)

S3 error when importing OPML

When trying to import an OPML (exported from Feedly) via Options→Import & Export→Import, I get this error from S3. Needless to say I didn't configure any S3 as I want to self-host.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error><Code>InvalidBucketName</Code><Message>The specified bucket is not valid.</Message><BucketName></BucketName><RequestId>58F084F5775C490D</RequestId><HostId>3h5HwbPkU5Yof/Sjf5NxdLWYShbRZnEkYwsILkeggYF2FE4LL9Us/Af/pxdbR71wTiQEy5sALt4=</HostId></Error>

Batteries-Included Camo also needs to be public

Camo Proxy doesn't work how I was thinking, needs to be public to be usable. Upstream feedbin change probably means that local camo proxy that the server can access but not the client is revealing the issue.

Workarounds:

• Unset CAMO_HOST and CAMO_KEY if running on localhost, no image proxy needed unless enabling HTTPS
• Use Heroku to host, as described by ananke/camo

So actual fix would be:

• remove camo from this version
• keep camo in and make it publicly accessible from a separate port

Refresher Stop Refreshing

Is there any refreshing rate config?

My Refresher was working but dosen't work anymore?

What could be the problem ?
