Setting up RSS Bridge

+ +
+ +

RSS Bridge is a useful utility you can use to help you avoid the big tech sites, like Facebook and Twitter, which instead of the feed you usually would see, will be a based and minimalist RSS feed.

+ + +

You'll need a server or VPS. Nearly any Operating system is supported but for this tutorial I'm gonna presume you're using a Debian-based OS. You'll also need a domain name pointing to your server's IP address which is explained in this tutorial. +

+ + + +

Installation

+ +

Setting Up and Configuring

+ +

First things first you'll need to make sure that you've hardened you SSH so that password authentication is disabled and you'll also want to setup Fail2Ban. +There's a great tutorial on how to do this which can be read here. +

+ +

+Next we'll install the required packages: +

+ +
apt install -y curl unzip nginx certbot php-fpm php-mysql php-cli php7.3-mbstring php7.3-curl php7.3-xml php7.3-sqlite3 php7.3-json
+ +

+We now have to create the website configuration file +

vim /etc/nginx/sites-available/rss-bridge
+

and you can add the following as a basic template.

+

Remember to change the the domain name

+

+ +
server {
+    root /var/www/rss-bridge;
+    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
+    server_name rss-bridge.landchad.net;
+
+    location / {
+            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
+    }
+
+    location ~ \.php$ {
+            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
+            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock;
+    }
+
+    location ~ /\.ht {
+            deny all;
+    }
+}
+
+ +

After you have saved the file, you need to create a symlink so the server actually will read the file

+
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/rss-bridge /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/rss-bridge
+ +

+ Then we have to create the folder where the service will reside in

+
cd /var/www
+mkdir rss-bridge
+cd rss-bridge
+
+ +

Lets download the latest version of RSS-Bridge in the directory

+

The newest version can be found here, at the time of writing that is "RSS-Bridge 2021-04-25"

+ +

+ 

wget https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/archive/refs/tags/2021-04-25.zip
+

+

+ Unzip the file +

+
unzip 2021-04-25.zip
+

This will create a directory called rss-bridge-version-number, we now want to move all the file contents of the newly created directory to the one we are in

+
cd rss-bridge-2021-04-25
+mv * ..
+cd ..
+rm -r rss-bridge-2021-04-25 2021-04-25.zip
+
+ +

Now all we need to do is grant read/write permissions and reload the web server

+ +
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/rss-bridge
+systemctl reload nginx
+
+ +

That's it, you should now have a working rss-bridge installed. But you should definately get an SSL certifcate installed

+ +Which you can read how to do here + + + + +
+ + + -- cgit v1.2.3
