Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I use Yarr (Yet Another RSS Reader). It can be easily deployed with Docker Compose and does the job nicely:
Just found it and tried on my home server, it works:
version: '3.3'
services:
yarr:
container_name: yarr
image: maskalicz/yarr:latest
ports:
- 7070:7070
volumes:
- ./yarr-data:/data:rw
Anyway, it just have one view mode with 3 panels and it's not customizable. At the moment, the most featured and exstesible RSS Feed service seems to be FreshRSS as suggested in the thread by @[email protected].
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

| nginx | Popular HTTP server |
2 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 6 acronyms.

Where RSS?
I run RSS2email and… read my RSS as emails, delivered fresh every morning :)
I like the idea, that might actually get me to pay attention to my RSS feeds. I wonder if anyone has stood up a docker image because it looks like a pain to install and update.
Tt-rss has been reliable for me, and the frontend is decent. Not to mention you can just republish feeds for a different frontend to use.
newsblur
I heard good things about Newsblur. They offer a service and an open source version for self hosting
I've used tt-rss in the past. Don't know what state it's in currently.
If you have Nextcloud they also have an RSS app.
It is very stable. Just don't visit the forum for help. The dev regularly roasts people, which leads to a very toxic environment.
I switched to FreshRSS which works just as well, and doesn't have a toxic dev
I remember years ago it already was like this in the forums. It actually made me stop using it and running a custom made web based reader for some time.
I wouldn't use it anymore nowadays.
FreshRSS is the way to go. It even has plugins (and a plugin for YouTube channels as RSS feeds, very convenient).
