Hosted service

A free hosted version runs Feedsubs at feedsubs.com, it is the easiest way to start using the software without installing anything.

Development guide

Feedsubs is a typical Django project, anyone familiar with Django will feel right at home. It requires:

• Python 3.6+

• Postgresql database

• Redis server for background tasks

Quickstart:

git clone git@github.com:NicolasLM/feedsubs.git
cd feedsubs/
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .[dev]
touch .env  # Put SECRET_KEY=foo and DB_PASSWORD=foo there
manage.py migrate
manage.py runserver

Background task workers can be started with:

manage.py spinach

Self-hosting

Feedsubs is a feed reader primarily focused toward large multi-users installations, it may not be the easiest choice to host as a personal reader. That being said, Docker makes it simple to deploy:

• Make your own settings module based on feedsubs/settings/prod.py

• docker run -d -v path/to/my_settings.py:/my_settings.py -e DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=my_settings -p 8000:8000 nicolaslm/feedsubs waitress

• Serve the port 8000 through a reverse proxy like nginx or caddy

Users can also deploy Feedsubs with pip instead of Docker:

pip install feedsubs[prod]
manage.py waitress
