1 Introduction
Selfoss[1] is a self-hosted RSS reader solution. It could be compared to Tiny Tinys RSS or Feedly.
2 Installation
First, you need to download the zip file and uncompress it to the good directory :
 wget
|
mkdir /usr/share/nginx/www/selfoss cd /usr/share/nginx/www/selfoss wget http://selfoss.aditu.de/selfoss-2.7.zip unzip selfoss-2.7.zip chown -Rf www-data. . rm -f selfoss-2.7.zip |
3 Configuration
3.1 Database server
We're going to setup the MariaDB part :
| mysql
|
CREATE DATABASE selfoss; CREATE USER 'selfoss_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'selfoss_password'; GRANT ALL ON selfoss.* TO 'selfoss_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'selfoss_password'; FLUSH privileges; |
Replace login and password with your needs.
3.2 Web server
We need to configure the web server :
 /etc/nginx/sites-available/feed.deimos.fr
|
server {
include listen_port.conf;
server_name feed.deimos.fr;
root /usr/share/nginx/www/selfoss;
index index.php;
access_log /var/log/nginx/feed.deimos.fr_access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/feed.deimos.fr_error.log;
location ~* \ (gif|jpg|png) {
expires 30d;
}
location ~ ^/favicons/.*$ {
try_files $uri /data/$uri;
}
location ~* ^/(data\/logs|data\/sqlite|config\.ini|\.ht) {
deny all;
}
location / {
try_files $uri /public/$uri /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
client_body_timeout 360;
send_timeout 360;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
}
# Drop config
include drop.conf;
} |
Then create the symlink :
|
|
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/feed.deimos.fr /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ |
Then add it to the www-data crontab :
| curl
|
curl -L -s -k "https://rss2.deimos.fr/update" |
Copy and past the default configuration :
|
|
cp defaults.ini config.ini |
Then modify the fields corresponding to your new database setup and remove unneeded lines, like in this example :
|
|
; see http://selfoss.aditu.de for more information about ; the configuration parameters [globals] db_type=mysql db_host=localhost db_database=selfoss db_username=selfoss_user db_password=selfoss_password db_port=3306 logger_level=ERROR items_perpage=50 items_lifetime=30 base_url=http://field.deimos.fr username=deimos password=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ;salt=lkjl1289 salt=Tarn0twif rss_title=selfoss feed rss_max_items=10000 |
You can generate a password in adding "/password" at the end of the url (ex. http://feed.deimos.fr/password)
Then connect to the interface to finish the setup :-)
