I switched from #Feeder to #ReadYou as my favorite #RSS #app. The user interface in "Read You" is much cleaner and more visually appealing. It feels more modern and intuitive, which makes browsing through articles more enjoyable. I also find the readability to be significantly better, the fonts, spacing, and layout make it easier on the eyes. Overall, it just offers a more pleasant and efficient reading experience.

My @Inoreader subscription is up in a week's time. It's a great RSS reader, but I'm idly wondering if self-hosting an #RSS reader on a box I already pay for might be the plan. Is FreshRSS the one that most people would recommend? Particularly interested in the "web scraping" feature that FreshRSS offers (Inoreader limits those to just 20).

$90 potential saving, I suppose, with the only main loss that I lose some email subscriptions. I've been with Inoreader since Aug 2014 (when it was half the price).

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

Edit : Thanks everyone! Am going to try Inoreader and if I want to tackle self-hosting will defiantly look into FreshRSS.

Linux users - I've been using Feedly since Google tried to kill RSS and it's now pretty much infested with AI and pushing AI features.

So I'm looking for free rss reader reccs, preferably via Browser

I don't want any AI or LLM features.

Anyone out there know of an #rssreader that has a discover function (based on topics/keywords)? Something akin to FlipBoard. Went looking for a #FOSS option and most apps I'm finding want me to supply direct feeds/sites I want shown... which is fine... but, I've also come across some fascinating articles from various sources using FlipBoard with the discover feature noted above and would love to be able to continue that use in something more open.

Help Needed with Cloudflare Zero Trust, Pages, and Workers for ReactFlux + MiniFlux Setup

Hi everyone,

I'm new to #Cloudflare and have been trying to set up a #SelfHosted project on my #RaspberryPi 500. I'm mostly self-taught, so I apologize if I misunderstand anything or miss important details. Here's my situation:

Current Setup

  • I'm running the self-hosted #RSS feed reader #MiniFlux on my Raspberry Pi 500 (#ArchLinuxARM, installed via Pacman).
  • The setup uses #Caddy as a reverse proxy, a #CloudflareZeroTrust tunnel, and Cloudflare Access for SSO.
  • My #CloudflareAccess application is configured to allow all origins, methods, and headers. It has a policy that allows specific emails or login methods (e.g., GitHub).

What I'm Trying to Do

  • I want to deploy ReactFlux, an alternative frontend for MiniFlux, on #CloudflarePages.
  • Before setting it up fully, I tested the ReactFlux demo with my MiniFlux instance at https://rss.laniecarmelo.tech. However, ReactFlux couldn't log in.

Suspected Issue

I believe the issue is caused by Cloudflare Access protection blocking ReactFlux from accessing the MiniFlux API (https://rss.laniecarmelo.tech/v1/*).

What I've Tried So Far

  1. I added another hostname (rss.laniecarmelo.tech/v1/*) to my tunnel configuration and created a new Cloudflare Access application with a policy set to "Bypass" for everyone. However, this didn't work—when testing the API endpoint in a private browser window, I'm still asked to sign into Cloudflare.
  2. I also tried setting up the hostname with "Protect with Access" turned off but got the same results.
  3. Next, I attempted to use a #CloudflareWorker written in JavaScript to bypass authentication for /v1/*, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything (or isn't being triggered).

What I Need Help With

  • How can I properly configure Cloudflare so ReactFlux can access the MiniFlux API (/v1/*) while keeping the rest of my MiniFlux instance protected by Cloudflare Access?
  • I've been stuck on this for a couple of days and would really appreciate any guidance or suggestions!

Thanks in advance for your help!

reactflux.pages.devReactFluxA Simple but Powerful RSS Reader for Miniflux

#MiniFlux users, can anyone help?

Hi all. I'm having some issues with MiniFlux, a #SelfHosted #RSSReader, and hoping someone can help. MiniFlux was working fine until I tried to deploy ReactFlux on the same domain as it, rss.laniecarmelo.tech, on a subpath, /reactflux. This didn't work so I removed ReactFlux. I also migrated MiniFlux from #Docker to #Pacman package, thinking it would be easier on my system. This problem, or a similar one, was occurring before I did that though.

Now, rss.laniecarmelo.tech loads the MiniFlux login page, but when I login, it redirects to a blank page at rss.laniecarmelo.tech/login. I've added trusted proxies and cookie configuration to my miniflux.conf and headers to my Caddyfile, but I still have the issue.

I'm using #Caddy for #ReverseProxy and #Cloudflare for #SSO. Has anyone seen anything like this before? This is on a #RaspberryPi500 running #ArchLinuxARM.

I've checked MiniFlux logs, and it's getting the login requests and creating sessions. I'm not sure what's happening after that. Cloudflared and Caddy seem to be working normally.

Okay, was benutzen Menschen denn heutzutage so als #RSS-Reader? Ich war die ganze Zeit bei Newsblur, möchte aber weg von US-Unternehmen.

Wichtig wäre mir, den "gelesen"-Status und die abonnierten Feeds über mehrere Geräte hinweg synchronisieren zu können. Und irgendwas an Filtermöglichkeiten, um Posts mit bestimmten Stichworten oder bestimmten Autor*innen z.B. wegfiltern zu können.

What’s a good RSS reader: one that uses a good browser for web access, doesn’t track me or ask for all my info, and isn’t otherwise enshittified? I don’t even need to use it for reading (yet?) per se but am putting RSS links on my website and want to see how it looks from a reader.

Algú sap si hi ha alguna app/web/funcionalitat del fedivers que sigui un lector de RSS (agregador de contingut)? Podria ser una bona funcionalitat per incloure a Mastodon. Opinions?

Does anyone know if there is any app/website/feature of fedivers that is an RSS reader (content aggregator)? It could be a good feature to include in Mastodon. Opinions?
