FreshRSS

A self-hosted RSS/Atom feed aggregator with a fast, customizable interface, multi-user support, and extensions for things like full-text article fetching.

Target: Any Docker hostProductivityOfficial homepage ↗Official docs ↗
This guide is synthesized from FreshRSS's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Run the container

    docker run -d --restart unless-stopped --log-opt max-size=10m \ -p 8080:80 \ -e TZ=Europe/Paris \ -e CRON_MIN=1,31 \ -v freshrss_data:/var/www/FreshRSS/data \ -v freshrss_extensions:/var/www/FreshRSS/extensions \ --name freshrss \ freshrss/freshrss

    CRON_MIN schedules automatic feed refreshes; adjust TZ to your timezone.

  2. 2Finish setup via the web wizard

    Browse to the server and complete the installation wizard, or run it non-interactively from the CLI instead.

    open http://localhost:8080

  3. 3Optional: unattended CLI setup

    docker exec --user www-data freshrss cli/do-install.php --default-user freshrss
    docker exec --user www-data freshrss cli/create-user.php --user freshrss --password freshrss

    Use --user apache instead of www-data if you're running the Alpine-based image.
