RSS-Bridge is an open-source project that allows you to generate RSS feeds for websites that do not provide one. Here’s how to set it up on Fedora Server.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
The first thing we need to do is install the dependencies required to run RSS-Bridge. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install PHP7 and other necessary packages:
sudo dnf install php php-opcache php-xml php-mbstring php-gd php-pecl-zip php-pdo php-mysqlnd git -y
Now that the dependencies are installed, let’s clone the RSS-Bridge repository from Github. Run the following command to clone it:
sudo git clone https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge.git /var/www/html/rss-bridge
This will clone the repository to the /var/www/html/rss-bridge
directory.
Next, we need to configure the web server to serve the RSS-Bridge application. Since we are using Fedora Server, we will be using Apache as the web server.
Create a new configuration file for RSS-Bridge:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/rss-bridge.conf
Add the following contents to the file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/rss-bridge
<Directory /var/www/html/rss-bridge>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file.
Next, restart the Apache web server to apply the changes:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
To verify that RSS-Bridge is now installed on your Fedora Server, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost/rss-bridge/
.
You should see a list of available bridges along with some instructions on how to use them.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed RSS-Bridge on your Fedora Server. You can now use it to generate RSS feeds for websites that do not provide them.
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!
