In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Feedpushr on Manjaro. Feedpushr is an open-source RSS aggregator, that allows you to consume your RSS feeds through a REST API. It's built on top of the Akka HTTP and Actor frameworks. It can be installed from the following GitHub link:
https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to clone the repository from GitHub. To do this, open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ncarlier/feedpushr.git
This will create a local copy of the repository in the directory you are currently in.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the feedpushr directory by running the following command:
cd feedpushr
Next, build the project using the following command:
./sbt.sh assembly
This will build the project and create a single executable JAR file in the target/scala-2.x/ directory. Replace 2.x with the appropriate version number.
To run Feedpushr, use the following command:
java -jar target/scala-2.x/feedpushr.jar
You should see the following output in your terminal:
11:00:30.894 [System-akka.actor.default-dispatcher-3] INFO akka.event.slf4j.Slf4jLogger - Slf4jLogger started
11:00:31.345 [main] INFO org.http4s.blaze.channel.BlazeServerChannelGroup - Service bound to address /0.0.0.0:8080
To verify that Feedpushr is running correctly, open your web browser and navigate to the following address:
http://localhost:8080
You should see a page with the title "Feedpushr API". This indicates that the installation was successful.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Feedpushr on Manjaro. Now that you have Feedpushr running, you can start using it to consume your RSS feeds through a REST API.
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!
