Kriss Feed is an open-source RSS feed reader that allows users to create and manage their RSS feeds. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Kriss Feed on an Ubuntu Server.
Before we proceed with the installation, you will need:
In order to run Kriss Feed, we need to install some dependencies. Start by updating the package list:
sudo apt update
Then, install PHP and required extensions:
sudo apt install php php-mbstring php-xml php-zip php-mysqlnd
Once installed, restart Apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Next, we need to clone the Kriss Feed repository from GitHub:
cd /var/www/html
sudo git clone https://github.com/tontof/kriss_feed.git
This will clone the repository to the /var/www/html/kriss_feed directory.
Before we can start using Kriss Feed, we need to configure it. Copy the config.default.php file to config.php:
cd kriss_feed
cp config.default.php config.php
In the config.php file, you can specify your database credentials and default configuration values.
Kriss Feed requires a database to store RSS feeds and other information. Open the MySQL shell:
sudo mysql
Create a database and user with the necessary permissions:
CREATE DATABASE krissfeed;
CREATE USER 'krissfeed'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON krissfeed.* to 'krissfeed'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit
Replace your_password with a strong password.
We are now ready to install Kriss Feed. Go to the Kriss Feed directory:
cd /var/www/html/kriss_feed
Install the dependencies:
sudo composer install
This may take a few minutes to complete.
Set the ownership of the Kriss Feed directory to the Apache user:
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/kriss_feed
Now, go to your web browser and access Kriss Feed by entering your server's IP or domain name followed by /kriss_feed. For example, http://your-server-ip/kriss_feed.
You should see the Kriss Feed login page. The default login credentials are:
You have successfully installed Kriss Feed on your Ubuntu Server. Now, you can create and manage RSS feeds from the Kriss Feed web interface.
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!
