Hi guys, do you know if there is a good RSS Feed service that can be self-hosted which also exposes a good front-end to read the subscribed news? Thanks in advance.
FreshRSS is great. Container is easy to run.
Agreed. Easy to setup on my synology NAS, and it works so well.
My only issue I’ve been having, which is not related to FreshRSS, is getting RSS in twitter to work reliably. Nitter hasn’t been reliable at all over the last year.
I used to use a self hosted nitter for FreshRSS too. I gave up completely. I pruned all the Xitter feeds and looked for other sources.
Unfortunately, some orgs I need to get information from ONLY use social media and twitter was the easiest to get working via RSS, but not anymore.
So incredibly frustrating that accessibility isn’t a consideration when picking a platform to update customers/residents/members.
Absolutely.
This. I moved to FreshRSS from TT-RSS a while ago and am extremely happy with it. It just works.
The new oAuth feature is also great and integrates well with my other services for family (immich, seafile, etc)
Being hosting miniflux on OCI free tier for a few months. No complaints.
OCI free tier as in Oracle Cloud? How’s that working out for you? Not miniflux… the cloud…
Solid so far. Running two instances for some services I used to host at home.
For a self-hosted RSS feed service, there are several options:
-
Tiny Tiny RSS: It’s an open-source web-based news feed reader and aggregator for RSS and Atom feeds, praised for its Android client availability.
-
FreshRSS: A free, self-hosted RSS and Atom feed aggregator that is known for being lightweight, powerful, and customizable. It also supports multi-user access, custom tags, has an API for mobile clients, supports WebSub for instant push notifications, and offers web scraping capabilities.
-
Miniflux: A minimalist and opinionated feed reader that is straightforward and efficient for reading RSS feeds without unnecessary extras. It’s written in Go, making it simple, fast, lightweight, and easy to install.
Not self hosted but I did it this way:

I’ve been using Miniflux for a few years now, no complaints. Mostly with an iOS-based Reeder app, occasionally with the Web frontend.
I too use miniflux and I like it
I made a post some weeks ago https://lemmy.world/post/9574514
I’ve been running Miniflux on a free tier GCP instance for a few months now. Then I use RSS Guard on my desktop and FeedMe on my phone to read stuff.
I’d like to try FreshRSS, but just cannot get my URLs to resolve correctly with it. After a few hours of trying, I reverted to if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Miniflux all the way for me (for now).

This. Nextcloud news is great on the web and mobile. It just works and is ideal if you already run Nextcloud.
I use TT-RSS (Tiny Tiny RSS) and I slightly modified the default theme to my taste.
I use Yarr (Yet Another RSS Reader). It can be easily deployed with Docker Compose and does the job nicely:
Just found it and tried on my home server, it works:
version: '3.3' services: yarr: container_name: yarr image: maskalicz/yarr:latest ports: - 7070:7070 volumes: - ./yarr-data:/data:rwAnyway, it just have one view mode with 3 panels and it’s not customizable. At the moment, the most featured and exstesible RSS Feed service seems to be FreshRSS as suggested in the thread by @[email protected].

Sorry, but I mixed up apps. I have Yarr directly set up as a systemd service:
[Unit] Description=Yarr Service After=network.target
[Service] ExecStart=/home/darkl1nk/yarr/yarr -auth-file=/home/darkl1nk/yarr/auth.file WorkingDirectory=/home/dark
I downloaded the precompiled package (https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr/releases/download/v2.4/yarr-v2.4-linux64.zip) and placed it at my home directory. Then created a site for nginx to map my subdomain to the local port 7070.
I self-host https://miniflux.app/ and it has been working great for my needs.
I haven’t used it, but it is on my bookmarks for when Feedly stops working for me: https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS
I’ve used Commafeed for a while and am now self-hosting it using Docker.
Tt-rss has been reliable for me, and the frontend is decent. Not to mention you can just republish feeds for a different frontend to use.
I run RSS2email and… read my RSS as emails, delivered fresh every morning :)
I like the idea, that might actually get me to pay attention to my RSS feeds. I wonder if anyone has stood up a docker image because it looks like a pain to install and update.

Where RSS?
newsblur
I’ve used tt-rss in the past. Don’t know what state it’s in currently.
If you have Nextcloud they also have an RSS app.
It is very stable. Just don’t visit the forum for help. The dev regularly roasts people, which leads to a very toxic environment.
I switched to FreshRSS which works just as well, and doesn’t have a toxic dev
I remember years ago it already was like this in the forums. It actually made me stop using it and running a custom made web based reader for some time.
I wouldn’t use it anymore nowadays.
FreshRSS is the way to go. It even has plugins (and a plugin for YouTube channels as RSS feeds, very convenient).
I heard good things about Newsblur. They offer a service and an open source version for self hosting
