RSS-Bridge is a tool that allows you to generate RSS feeds for websites that do not have their own RSS feeds. It is an open source tool that is available on GitHub at https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install RSS-Bridge on MXLinux Latest.
Before we install RSS-Bridge, we need to make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
Follow these steps to install RSS-Bridge on MXLinux Latest:
Open the terminal window and enter the following command to install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install build-essential php7.4-cli php7.4-mbstring php7.4-xml git
After installing the required packages, enter the following command to clone the RSS-Bridge repository:
git clone https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge
Enter the following command to change the directory to the RSS-Bridge folder:
cd rss-bridge
Rename the file "config.sample.ini" to "config.ini":

This will start the RSS-Bridge server. You can now open your web browser and go to the following URL to access RSS-Bridge: http://localhost:8000/
To generate RSS feeds for a website, enter the website URL after the URL of the RSS-Bridge server in your web browser. For example, to generate an RSS feed for the URL "https://www.example.com", enter the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:8000/https://www.example.com
You can also specify parameters to refine your RSS feed. For example, to generate an RSS feed for the search term "arduino" on the website https://www.instructables.com, enter the following URL:
http://localhost:8000/https://www.instructables.com/rss/keywords:arduino/
In this tutorial, we learned how to install RSS-Bridge on MXLinux Latest. We also learned how to configure RSS-Bridge and generate RSS feeds for websites. With RSS-Bridge, you can keep track of updates on websites that do not provide 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!
