Newspipe is a self-hosted news aggregator that can fetch news articles from different sources and display them in a stream. It is developed by Cedric Fung and available on GitLab. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Newspipe on Clear Linux Latest.
Before installing Newspipe, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to update your system by running the following command:
sudo swupd update
This command will fetch and install any available updates for Clear Linux.
Next, you need to install the required packages for Newspipe to work properly. Run the following command:
sudo swupd bundle-add python39 py-pip git
This command will install Python 3.9, pip, and Git on your system.
After installing the required packages, you need to clone the Newspipe repository from GitLab. Run the following command:
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~cedric/newspipe
This command will clone the repository in the current working directory.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the newspipe directory and install the Python dependencies:
cd newspipe
pip install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the required Python packages for Newspipe.
After installing the dependencies, you need to configure Newspipe. Copy the sample configuration file and create a new configuration file:
cp newspipe.cfg.example newspipe.cfg
Open the newspipe.cfg file in your favorite editor and configure the settings according to your requirements.
For example, you can set the FEEDS variable to fetch news from different sources. Here's an example configuration:
FEEDS = [
{
'title': 'BBC News - World',
'url': 'http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/world/rss.xml'
},
{
'title': 'CNN World News',
'url': 'http://rss.cnn.com/rss/edition_world.rss'
},
{
'title': 'Reuters: World News',
'url': 'http://feeds.reuters.com/Reuters/worldNews'
}
]
Save the configuration file when you are done.
Finally, you can start Newspipe by running the following command:
python newspipe.py
This command will start the Newspipe server on your system. You can access Newspipe by navigating to http://localhost:5000 in your web browser.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Newspipe on Clear Linux Latest. You can now fetch news articles from different sources and display them in a stream using Newspipe.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
