miniflux-local

I love RSS, and I love Miniflux — but I don't love having to run it on a cloud provider, since most of the browsing, bookmarking and RSS reading I do generally happens on my Mac. So I threw this little project together today to solve this problem.

Running the service

It runs Miniflux locally under Docker Compose, using a local (and presumably running) instance of Postgres.app as a database. If you've got both of these installed, you have all you need — just clone this repo, start Postgres.app, and run:

make

... then sign in with the default administrator username and password: admin and password, respectively.

Why not run Postgres under Compose as well, you ask? You totally could, of course, and I wrote another little project, habitat-miniflux, that does essentially that. But I also just like working with Postgres.app, and I tend to blow up my Docker environment pretty regularly, too. So it just makes more sense to me to use it that way.

Using an alternate RSS reader

I happen to use Reeder, but you can use any RSS reader that supports the Fever API with Miniflux by activating the Fever API in Settings » Integrations:

Once you've checked the box and set an API username and password, point your feed reader at the Miniflux API (being careful to use the right port -- I always forget that part) and sign in:

Enjoy! #rss4ever
