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.
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 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).
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
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.
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…
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:rw
Anyway, 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 @specseaweed@lemmy.world.
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.
