Hello all, I am looking to start getting back into RSS feeds but nothing Ive found so far matches all of my requirements so i was going to see if you guys had any advice.

My requirements are:

  • Self hosted (preferably with an official docker container)
  • I should be able to view it in the web, as well as with an Android app but it doesn’t have to be a first party app
  • It has to look nice and modern, preferably with a dark mode option

Anything you guys know of that would meet all three of those things?

Currently my plan is to run FreshRSS as my aggregator and FeedMe or Focus Reader on Android. I don’t really have any plans for web viewers though

    I’ve been using CommaFeed for a while and I’m very happy with it. https://github.com/Athou/commafeed/ plus it is actively developed. I’ve reported a couple of small feature requests and the author implemented them very quickly.

    As far as I know there are many third party android apps that you can use, but its responsive webUI is good enough, once you install it it is essentially as good as an app.

    I host my own Tiny Tiny RSS (TT-RSS), but I’ve used the public instance of CommaFeed too, many years ago, before I started selfhosting.

    I really like TT-RSS, especially with my own theme I made, but the container image I’m using now is outdated and has some problems, and if I want to upgrade I’ll have to switch image to the official one, and I won’t be able to simply migrate my data over, as TT-RSS has since dropped support for MySQL completely, so I’m considering just hosting Commafeed instead (since I have to start fresh anyway).

    I prefer RSS readers that feel a bit like Google Reader (R.I.P. - Gone but not forgotten)

      If you’re interested I wrote a quick HOWTO to migrate TT-RSS data from Mysql to Postgres a while ago. Ctrl+F search for Migrating tt-rss data to Postgresql from a MySQL-based installation here

      I still use that same migrated database 4 years later
