RSS2EMail is an open-source program that allows you to receive RSS feeds via email. It can be installed on various operating systems, including Void Linux. In this tutorial, we will go through the steps to install RSS2EMail on Void Linux.
Before we proceed, make sure that your system is up-to-date by running the following command:
sudo xbps-install -Suv
You will need the following dependencies:
You can install these dependencies on your system using the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S python3 git
The first step is to clone the RSS2EMail repository from GitHub. To do so, navigate to the directory you want to clone the repository in and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/rss2email/rss2email.git
This will create a rss2email directory in the current directory, which contains the files required to install and run RSS2EMail.
RSS2EMail requires a few dependencies that need to be installed on your system using the pip3 package manager. Run the following command to install the dependencies:
sudo pip3 install -r rss2email/requirements.txt
This will install all the required dependencies on your system.
There are a few configuration options that you need to set up before you can start using RSS2EMail. These options are stored in a configuration file called config.py, which is located in the rss2email directory.
Make a copy of the config.py.template file and rename it to config.py:
cd rss2email
cp config.py.template config.py
Open the config.py file in your preferred text editor and modify the configuration options based on your requirements. You will need to modify the following options:
RSS2EMAIL_TO: The email address where you want to receive the RSS feeds.RSS2EMAIL_FROM: The email address from where the RSS feeds are being sent.RSS2EMAIL_SUBJECT_TEMPLATE: The subject line for the emails.Once you have completed the previous steps, you are ready to start using RSS2EMail. To test if everything is working correctly, run the following command:
python3 ./rss2email.py --test
This command will send a test email to the email address you provided in the RSS2EMAIL_TO option in the configuration file.
If you receive the email successfully, you can start running RSS2EMail by running the following command:
python3 ./rss2email.py
This command will start fetching the RSS feeds and sending them to your email address.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed RSS2EMail on your Void Linux system. With RSS2EMail, you can now receive RSS feeds directly in your inbox, making it easier to keep up with the latest news and updates from your favorite websites.
