rigelk/miniflux

Miniflux is an open source web-based news feed (RSS/Atom) reader and aggregator. Miniflux is not for everyone, it's for people who want to read their feeds efficiently.

Usage

docker create \
--name=miniflux \
-v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-p 80:80 \
rigelk/miniflux

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 80 - webui port see note below
• -v /etc/localtime for timesync - optional omit if using TZ variable
• -v /config - where miniflux should store its config and data files
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
• -e TZ for setting timezone information, eg Europe/London

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it miniflux /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Info

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime docker logs -f miniflux.

Differences from miniflux/miniflux

• Based off Alpine with the s6 overlay
• Included cronjob which updates feeds every hour
