How to Install Feedpushr on Alpine Linux Latest

Introduction

Feedpushr is an RSS/Atom feed aggregator and forwarder. It allows users to aggregate multiple feeds and forward them to different platforms. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to install Feedpushr on Alpine Linux Latest.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 1 - Install Docker

Feedpushr is a Dockerized application built using Docker Compose. Therefore, the first step is to install Docker on your server. Run the following command as the root user:

apk add docker
rc-update add docker boot
service docker start

This will install Docker and start the Docker service.

Step 2 - Install Docker Compose

Next, we need to install Docker Compose on our server. Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. Run the following commands:

apk add py3-pip
pip install docker-compose

This will install Docker Compose on your server.

Step 3 - Clone Feedpushr Repository

Now, we need to clone the Feedpushr repository from GitHub to our server. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr.git

This will create a directory named feedpushr with the repository content.

Step 4 - Set Up Feedpushr

Navigate to the feedpushr directory and edit the .env file to set up the Feedpushr environment. It contains the configuration that will be used by Docker Compose to run the containers. You can use the default values, or you can change them to suit your needs.

cd feedpushr
vi .env

Step 5 - Start Feedpushr

After you have configured Feedpushr, you can start the application using Docker Compose. Run the following command:

docker-compose up -d

This will start the application in detached mode. Docker Compose will pull the required Docker images, create the containers, and start them.

Step 6 - Verify Feedpushr Installation

Once the containers have started, you can verify that Feedpushr is running by checking the logs. Run the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

This will tail the logs, and you should see the output from the logs. If everything is working correctly, you should see a message indicating that Feedpushr is ready to serve requests.

Conclusion

That's it! You have successfully installed Feedpushr on Alpine Linux Latest using Docker Compose. You can now start using Feedpushr to aggregate and forward your RSS/Atom feeds.
