Selfoss is an open-source web-based RSS reader and aggregator that allows users to consolidate their news and information subscriptions into a single interface. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Selfoss on Kali Linux.
Before we begin, ensure that your Kali Linux system is up-to-date and that you have root access.
Open a terminal window.
Navigate to the directory where you would like to install Selfoss.
Download the latest version of Selfoss by running the following command:
wget https://github.com/SSilence/selfoss/releases/latest/download/selfoss.zip
Unzip the downloaded file by running the following command:
unzip selfoss.zip
Rename the extracted directory to selfoss.
mv selfoss-* selfoss
Change the ownership of the selfoss directory to your user account.
chown -R $USER:$USER selfoss
Install the required PHP modules by running the following command:
apt-get install php7.3 php7.3-sqlite3 php7.3-curl php7.3-json php7.3-gd php7.3-xml
Note: Depending on your PHP version, you might need to modify the above command to match the version you have installed.
Start the built-in PHP web server by running the following command from the selfoss directory:
php -S localhost:8080
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/. You should see the Selfoss login screen.
Follow the on-screen prompts to set up your Selfoss account.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Selfoss on Kali Linux. You can now start adding your RSS feeds and customizing your Selfoss instance to suit your needs.
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!
