FreshRSS is a web-based RSS feed aggregator, which allows you to keep track of your favorite websites, blogs, and other online content sources. With FreshRSS, you can easily organize your feeds, stay up-to-date with your favorite news, and access your feeds from anywhere with an internet connection.
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of installing FreshRSS on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before we begin the installation process, please make sure you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies required by FreshRSS. You can install them using the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-gd php-intl php-pdo php-sqlite php-cgi
It will prompt you to install some additional packages, just press "Y" to continue.
We will now download FreshRSS using Git. Run the following command to clone the FreshRSS repository:
sudo git clone https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS.git /var/www/freshrss
Next, we need to configure FreshRSS. Copy the example configuration file to a new file called config.php using the following command:
sudo cp /var/www/freshrss/config.default.php /var/www/freshrss/config.php
Open the config.php file using your favorite text editor:
sudo nano /var/www/freshrss/config.php
Update the following lines in the config.php file to match your preferences:
define('SELF_URL_PATH', 'http://<your-server-ip>/freshrss/');
define('SQLITE_DATABASE_FILEPATH', '/var/www/freshrss/data/sqlite.db');
Save and close the file.
We need to set the correct permissions on the FreshRSS directory. Run the following commands:
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/freshrss
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/freshrss
We now need to configure your web server to serve the FreshRSS site. If you have not already installed a web server (e.g. Apache or Nginx), you can install and configure it using these commands:
sudo pacman -S apache
sudo systemctl enable --now httpd
Finally, restart your web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
You can now access FreshRSS on your web browser using the URL:
http://<your-server-ip>/freshrss/
Congratulations! You have successfully installed FreshRSS on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now add your favorite RSS feeds and start reading your favorite content.
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!
