Deployment

It is quite easy to deploy your RSStT instance. The most recommended way to deploy RSStT is Docker Compose: it is suitable for virtually all VPS. Railway.app (a PaaS platform) is also officially supported. You may also install RSStT from PyPI (tracking master branch) or TestPyPI (tracking dev branch, which is always up-to-date) using pip. For developers or experienced users, dirty run from source is also an option.

For more details, refer to the deployment guide.

Using the public bot

The public bot comes with absolutely no warranty. I will try my best to maintain it, but I cannot guarantee that it will always work perfectly. Meanwhile, you should "fair use" the bot, avoid subscribing to too many RSS feeds.
If you use the public bot in your Channel, consider mentioning the bot (or this project) in your channel description (or pinned message) to let more people know about it. That's not a compulsion.
