Miniflux is a minimalist and open-source feed reader that allows you to read your favorite RSS and Atom feeds from a single place. If you are a Void Linux user and want to install Miniflux on your system, follow these steps:
Before installing any software on Void Linux, it is recommended that you update your system first. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Su
Before installing Miniflux, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo xbps-install -S git go libxml2-utils
Now that you have installed the necessary dependencies, it's time to download and install Miniflux. Follow these steps:
git clone https://github.com/miniflux/v2.git
cd v2
go build .
sudo mv miniflux /usr/local/bin/
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/miniflux/data /usr/share/miniflux
sudo cp -r templates static /usr/share/miniflux/
sudo chown -R miniflux:miniflux /var/lib/miniflux/
Now that Miniflux is installed, you need to create a new user and group for it. Run the following command:
sudo useradd -r -s /usr/bin/nologin -d /var/lib/miniflux/ -m -c "Miniflux User" miniflux
Next, you need to configure Miniflux by creating a configuration file. Run the following command to create a new configuration file:
sudo cp examples/miniflux.conf /etc/miniflux.conf
Then open the configuration file /etc/miniflux.conf in your favorite text editor and modify the settings to your liking.
Finally, start the Miniflux service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start miniflux
If you want Miniflux to start automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable miniflux
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Miniflux on your Void Linux system. You can now access it by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
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!
