RSS Fulltext Proxy is a tool that can be used to enhance the RSS feeds of various websites by fetching their full-text content and embedding it in the feed. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of RSS Fulltext Proxy on NixOS Latest.
If you haven't already, you need to install NixOS on your system. You can download the latest stable release of NixOS from their official website https://nixos.org/download.html. Follow the instructions to install it on your system.
You need to install Git on your system to be able to clone the RSS Fulltext Proxy repository. To install Git, run the following command:
$ sudo nix-env -i git
To clone the RSS Fulltext Proxy repository, use the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/Kombustor/rss-fulltext-proxy.git
Before building the project, you need to install its dependencies. To do this, navigate to the cloned repository and run the following command:
$ nix-shell
This command will create a new shell with the required dependencies installed.
Now, you can build the project using Nix:
$ nix-build -A rss-fulltext-proxy
This command will generate the RSS Fulltext Proxy executable file in the result/bin
directory of the current directory.
Finally, you can configure and run RSS Fulltext Proxy. To do this, create the config.toml
file with the following contents:
[server]
bind_address = "0.0.0.0"
bind_port = 8080
[feeds]
"http://example.com/feed" = "http://localhost:8080/fetch?url=http://example.com/article&id={id}&fulltext=1"
Replace http://example.com/feed
with the actual URL of the RSS feed you want to enhance. You can add multiple feeds under the [feeds]
section.
To run the RSS Fulltext Proxy, use the following command:
$ ./result/bin/rss-fulltext-proxy
You can now access the enhanced RSS feed at http://localhost:8080/feed
.
That's it! You now have RSS Fulltext Proxy installed and running on NixOS Latest, and your RSS feeds are enhanced with full-text content.
