RSS-Bridge is an open-source project that allows you to generate RSS feeds from various websites that do not offer RSS feeds. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing RSS-Bridge on Manjaro.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
We need to install some dependencies before we can install RSS-Bridge. Open your terminal emulator and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S php php-curl php-sqlite
Enter your password when prompted, and wait for the installation to complete.
Next, we need to download the source code for RSS-Bridge. To do this, we will use Git. Enter the following command in your terminal emulator:
git clone https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge.git
This will download the source code and save it in a directory named "rss-bridge".
Navigate to the "rss-bridge" directory using the following command:
cd rss-bridge
Next, copy the example configuration file:
cp config.sample.ini config.ini
Open the configuration file using your favorite text editor:
nano config.ini
Edit the file to suit your needs. You can add or remove bridges, change the cache time, and more. Note that RSS-Bridge requires PHP version 5.6 or greater.
To test RSS-Bridge, run the following command:
php -S localhost:8000
This will start a local web server on port 8000. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the RSS-Bridge homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed RSS-Bridge on Manjaro. To use RSS-Bridge, simply add the URL of the RSS feed you want to generate to the end of the URL. For example:
http://localhost:8000/duckduckgo/trending
This will generate an RSS feed of the top trending stories on DuckDuckGo.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install RSS-Bridge on Manjaro. RSS-Bridge is a powerful tool that allows you to generate RSS feeds for websites that do not offer them. With RSS-Bridge, you can keep up with your favorite websites without having to check them manually.
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!
