Kriss Feed is an open source and simple RSS reader that you can install on your Elementary OS machine. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you install the software.
First, open a terminal window by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + T keys on your keyboard.
Next, clone the Kriss Feed repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed.git
Once the cloning process is complete, navigate to the Kriss Feed directory using the command:
cd kriss_feed/
Run the following script to install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install php-curl php-gd php-mysql php-dom
Next, install Composer using the following command:
curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Run the following command to install Kriss Feed dependencies:
php composer.phar install
Once the installation is complete, copy the config.php-dist file and name it config.php.
cp config.default.php config.php
Configure the software by opening the config.php file using a text editor of your choice, and replace the sample data with your database specifics.
Finally, set up a virtual host for Kriss Feed by adding the following lines to your apache2.conf file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin krissfeed@example.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/krissfeed
ServerName krissfeed.example.com
<Directory /path/to/krissfeed>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Restart the Apache server using the following command:
sudo service apache2 restart
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kriss Feed on your Elementary OS machine. To access the application, go to the domain name or IP address you have specified in the virtual host and start reading RSS feeds.
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!
