FreshRSS

A free, self-hostable news aggregator…

FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS feed aggregator. It is lightweight, easy to work with, powerful, customizable, and has been translated into many languages.

Installing it

Open the dashboard, go to Apps, press Add on it and apply the change. Or from a terminal on the box:

sudo homebox install freshrss

Where to open it

Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.

Good to know

• The setup wizard on the first visit creates the admin account and picks the database — SQLite is the right answer for one person
• Turn on the API under Settings then Authentication to use Reeder, FeedMe or NetNewsWire against it
• It refreshes on a cron inside the container; a feed that looks stuck is usually the site's feed, not FreshRSS
