Kriss Feed is a simple and lightweight RSS / Atom feed aggregator that you can install on your own server. In this tutorial, we will see how to install Kriss Feed on Fedora CoreOS Latest.
Before we start, make sure that you have the following:
To run Kriss Feed, we need to install some dependencies. Open the terminal and run the following command to install Git and PHP:
sudo dnf install git php-cli php-mbstring php-dom
Now, we need to download the Kriss Feed source code from the GitHub repository. Run the following command to download the code:
git clone https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed.git /var/www/html/kriss_feed
This will download the Kriss Feed code to the directory /var/www/html/kriss_feed.
Kriss Feed comes with a default configuration file. We need to edit this file to customize our Kriss Feed installation. Run the following command to rename the default configuration file:
cp /var/www/html/kriss_feed/config.default.ini.php /var/www/html/kriss_feed/config.ini.php
Next, open the configuration file using a text editor:
nano /var/www/html/kriss_feed/config.ini.php
Change the following settings:
; Default values are based on my own configuration
; Change these values to fit your configuration
; Website language
language = "en"
; Website title
title = "My Kriss Feed"
; Website description
description = "My RSS / Atom feeds aggregator"
; Website URL (without trailing slash)
url = "http://mykrissfeed.com"
; Maximum number of articles to display per feed
number_articles = 10
Save and close the file.
To test Kriss Feed, we need to start the PHP web server. Run the following command to start the server:
php -S 0.0.0.0:8000 -t /var/www/html/kriss_feed
Now, open the web browser and go to http://your_ip_address:8000. You should see the Kriss Feed homepage.
We need to configure the web server to serve Kriss Feed. Run the following command to create a new configuration file for Apache:
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/kriss_feed.conf
Add the following lines to the file:
Alias /kriss_feed /var/www/html/kriss_feed
<Directory /var/www/html/kriss_feed>
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save and close the file.
Then, restart the Apache web server:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
Now, you can access Kriss Feed by going to http://your_ip_address/kriss_feed. You should see the Kriss Feed homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Kriss Feed on Fedora CoreOS Latest. You can now customize Kriss Feed based on your needs and start adding RSS / Atom feeds to your aggregator.
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!
