Kriss Feed is an open source RSS reader that allows you to read and manage your RSS feeds in a simple and user-friendly interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Kriss Feed on Kali Linux.
Before you begin with the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
First, we need to install some dependencies required to run Kriss Feed. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y apache2 php7.3 php7.3-dom php7.3-mbstring php7.3-curl php7.3-json php7.3-xml php7.3-gd
This command will update the package lists and install the necessary dependencies such as Apache2, PHP 7.3, and other PHP extensions.
Next, we need to download Kriss Feed from GitHub. Open the terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed.git
This command will clone the Kriss Feed repository to your current working directory.
Kriss Feed is a web-based application, so we need to configure Apache2 to serve the Kriss Feed files. Run the following command to create a new virtual host for Kriss Feed:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/krissfeed.conf
Add the following lines to the newly created file:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/kriss_feed/
<Directory /var/www/kriss_feed/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/krissfeed-error.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/krissfeed-access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Save and close the file by pressing CTRL+X, then y to confirm.
Next, run the following command to enable the new virtual host:
sudo a2ensite krissfeed.conf
Finally, restart Apache2 to apply the changes:
sudo service apache2 restart
Now that we have all the dependencies installed and the web server configured, it's time to install Kriss Feed. Navigate to the Kriss Feed directory by running the following command:
cd kriss_feed
Copy the config.default.php file to config.php by running the following command:
cp config.default.php config.php
Give write permissions to the data directory by running the following command:
sudo chmod -R 777 data/
Visit your server's IP address in a web browser to launch the Kriss Feed installer e.g. http://localhost/kriss_feed/.
Follow the prompts to complete the installation process. You will need to provide the database details such as the database name, username, and password.
Once the installation completes, you will be redirected to the Kriss Feed login page.
You have successfully installed Kriss Feed on Kali Linux. You can now log in to Kriss Feed and start using it to read and manage your 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!
