RSS-Bridge is a PHP script that aggregates multiple RSS feeds into a single format. It can convert RSS feeds into other formats such as Atom, JSON or ActivityPub, among others. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install RSS-Bridge on OpenSUSE Latest.
Before installing RSS-Bridge, you need to have the following prerequisites:
Git is required to clone the RSS-Bridge repository from GitHub. To install Git, open a terminal and type the following command:
sudo zypper install git
Enter your root password when prompted.
To clone the RSS-Bridge repository from GitHub, use the following command:
cd /var/www/
sudo git clone https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge.git
This command will clone the RSS-Bridge repository to the /var/www/rss-bridge directory. You can choose to clone it to any directory you prefer.
To ensure that Apache or Nginx can access the RSS-Bridge directory, you need to set the correct permissions:
sudo chown -R wwwrun:www /var/www/rss-bridge
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/rss-bridge
The first command sets the owner of the /var/www/rss-bridge directory to wwwrun and the group to www. The second command sets the permissions of the directory to 775, which allows the owner and group to read, write and execute, and other users to read and execute.
Next, you need to configure Apache or Nginx to serve RSS-Bridge:
To serve RSS-Bridge with Apache, create a new virtual host file in the sites-available directory:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/rss-bridge.conf
Add the following configuration:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/rss-bridge
<Directory /var/www/rss-bridge>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rss-bridge_error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/rss-bridge_access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address. Save and close the file. Then, enable the virtual host:
sudo a2ensite rss-bridge.conf
sudo systemctl reload apache2
To serve RSS-Bridge with Nginx, create a new server block file in the sites-available directory:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/rss-bridge.conf
Add the following configuration:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
location / {
root /var/www/rss-bridge;
index index.php index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/rss-bridge_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/rss-bridge_error.log;
}
Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address. Save and close the file. Then, enable the server block:
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rss-bridge.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo systemctl reload nginx
To test if RSS-Bridge is working, open a web browser and go to http://example.com/index.php?action=display&bridge=Example. Replace example.com with your domain name or IP address. You should see a list of RSS feeds from the Example bridge.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed RSS-Bridge on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now configure and customize RSS-Bridge to meet your needs.
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!
