Readflow is an open-source self-hosted RSS reader that allows you to read and manage your favorite news feeds. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps of installing Readflow on your Manjaro Linux system.
The first step is to install Docker on your Manjaro system. You can use the following command to install Docker:
sudo pacman -S docker
After the installation is complete, add the current user to the Docker group to run Docker without using sudo:
sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
Log out and log back in for your group membership to take effect.
Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to manage multi-container Docker applications. To install Docker Compose, run the following command:
sudo pacman -Sy docker-compose
Clone the Readflow repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/ailabitmo/Readflow.git
Navigate to the cloned Readflow directory and create a .env file using the sample provided in the repository:
cd Readflow
cp sample.env .env
In the .env file, configure the settings to match your preferences. For example, you can set the email server settings, database settings, and the URL of the Readflow application.
Use the following command to build and run Readflow:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This command will download the necessary containers and start the Readflow application in the background. Once the process is complete, you can access the application at the URL you specified in the .env file.
To access the Readflow application, open a web browser and type in the URL you specified in the .env file. You should see the Readflow login page. Enter your credentials to log in to the application.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Readflow on your Manjaro Linux system. With Readflow, you can easily manage your RSS feeds and stay up to date with the latest news from your favorite sources.
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!
