Newspipe is a tool for aggregating and reading articles from multiple websites. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to install Newspipe on OpenBSD.
Before starting, please make sure that you have the following:
To run Newspipe on OpenBSD, we need first to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install them using the OpenBSD package manager:
$ doas pkg_add git py3-pip firefox
This command will install Git, Python3 pip, and Firefox, which are required to build and run Newspipe.
After installing the required dependencies, we need to clone the Newspipe repository. Run the following command to clone the repository:
$ git clone https://git.sr.ht/~cedric/newspipe
This command will create a directory called newspipe containing the source code for Newspipe.
Now that the repository is cloned, we need to install the Python dependencies for Newspipe. Change to the newspipe directory and install the dependencies using the pip3 command:
$ cd newspipe
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the Python packages required to run Newspipe.
Once the dependencies are installed, we can run Newspipe using the following command:
$ firefox http://localhost:8000 &
$ ./newspipe.py
The first command will open Firefox and navigate to the Newspipe web interface. The second command will start the Newspipe server and manage the subscriptions.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Newspipe on OpenBSD. You can now start adding feeds to your Newspipe instance and enjoy reading articles from multiple websites.
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!
