Kriss Feed is a self-hosted RSS feed reader that allows you to aggregate multiple RSS feeds in one place. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Kriss Feed on your Windows 10 computer.
Before you begin, you will need to have the following installed on your computer:
If you don't have these installed already, you can download and install them using XAMPP or WAMP, both of which provide an all-in-one solution for running a web server, PHP, and MySQL on your computer.
Download the latest version of Kriss Feed from the official GitHub repository.
Extract the downloaded ZIP archive to a directory of your choice. Rename the directory to kriss.
Copy the kriss directory to the root directory of your web server. The root directory is usually C:\xampp\htdocs or C:\wamp\www. You should now have a kriss directory in your web server's root directory.
Create a new database for Kriss Feed. You can do this using phpMyAdmin, which comes pre-installed with XAMPP and WAMP. Simply navigate to http://localhost/phpmyadmin in your web browser and click the "New" button to create a new database.
Import the SQL file located in the kriss/install directory into your new database. You can do this using phpMyAdmin by navigating to the "Import" tab and selecting the SQL file.
Open the kriss/config.default.php file and modify the configuration settings according to your preferences. You will need to set the database name, username, and password to match the database you just created.
Rename the config.default.php file to config.php.
Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost/kriss. Kriss Feed should now be installed and ready to use.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Kriss Feed on your Windows 10 computer. You can now add your favorite RSS feeds to Kriss Feed and stay up-to-date with all of your favorite 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!
