Yarr is a modern, fast and lightweight RSS reader that can be self-hosted. It uses PostgreSQL as a database and supports multiple users, tags, and custom RSS providers. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Yarr on Fedora Server Latest using Docker.
Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, clone the Yarr repository to your machine using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
This will create a local copy of the Yarr repository.
Next, create a config.yml
file by copying the config.default.yml
file:
cd yarr
cp config.default.yml config.yml
Edit the config.yml
file and change the following values:
port
: The port number where Yarr will listen (default is 8080
)postgres.host
: The hostname or IP address of your PostgreSQL database serverpostgres.port
: The port number of your PostgreSQL database server (default is 5432
)postgres.username
: The username of your PostgreSQL databasepostgres.password
: The password of your PostgreSQL databasepublic_url
: The URL of your Yarr instance (in the https://yourdomain.com
format)Save the changes and exit the editor.
Now, we will build the Docker image for Yarr:
docker build -t yarr .
This may take a few minutes to complete.
Finally, run the Docker container with the following command:
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name yarr yarr
This will start the Yarr container in the background and map the container's port 8080 to the host's port 8080. You can change the host port number to any available port.
Yarr should now be accessible from your browser at the URL https://yourdomain.com:8080
. If you have set up SSL, make sure to use https://
instead of http://
.
You can now create an account, add RSS feeds, and start using Yarr as your RSS reader.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Yarr on Fedora Server Latest using Docker. Yarr is a powerful and customizable RSS reader that can be self-hosted, and it is perfect for those who want to keep their RSS feeds under their control.
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!
