Installing Tiny Tiny RSS on Manjaro

Tiny Tiny RSS is a free and open-source RSS reader that allows you to read and manage RSS feeds from various sources. Here's how to install Tiny Tiny RSS on Manjaro using the following steps:

Step 1: Install LAMP stack

Tiny Tiny RSS requires a LAMP stack installed, which includes Apache, MySQL, and PHP. If you haven't installed these packages yet, you can do so by running the following command:

sudo pacman -S apache mysql php php-apache php-gd php-intl php-mcrypt php-pgsql php-curl

Step 2: Configure MySQL

You need to configure the MySQL database and create a new MySQL user for Tiny Tiny RSS. To do this, run the following command:

sudo mysql_secure_installation

This command will prompt you to configure MySQL securely.

Next, you need to create a new user and a database for Tiny Tiny RSS by running the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root -p

This command will allow you to access the MySQL command line interface. Then, enter the following commands:

CREATE DATABASE ttrss;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ttrss.* TO 'ttrssuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password_here';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 3: Install Tiny Tiny RSS

Now, you can download and install Tiny Tiny RSS by running the following commands in your terminal:

cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss.git tt-rss
sudo chown -R http:http /var/www/html/tt-rss

Step 4: Configure Apache

Next, you need to configure Apache to serve Tiny Tiny RSS. You can do this by creating a new VirtualHost configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-tt-rss.conf

In the file, add the following code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/tt-rss"
ServerName your_server_name_here
<Directory "/var/www/html/tt-rss">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/tt-rss_error_log"
CustomLog "/var/log/httpd/tt-rss_access_log" common
</VirtualHost>

Save and close the file.

Step 5: Enable the new VirtualHost

Lastly, you need to enable the new VirtualHost by running the following command:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/httpd-tt-rss.conf /etc/httpd/conf-enabled/httpd-tt-rss.conf

And finally, restart the Apache web server by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

You can now access Tiny Tiny RSS by going to your web browser and entering your server's IP address or domain name followed by /tt-rss, for example: http://your_server_ip_address/tt-rss.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Tiny Tiny RSS on Manjaro.

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!
