RSS Bridge
Do you hate having to access multiple sites to view specific content? RSS-Bridge can convert content from a wide variety of websites (such as Reddit, Facebook, Twitter) so that it can be viewed in a structured and consistent way, all from one place (Your feed reader)
RSS Bridge Requirements
Ingredients
Already deployed:
- Docker swarm cluster with persistent shared storage
- Traefik configured per design
- DNS entry for the hostname you intend to use (or a wildcard), pointed to your keepalived IP
Related:
- Traefik Forward Auth or Authelia to secure your Traefik-exposed services with an additional layer of authentication
Preparation
Setup data locations
First we create a directory to hold the data which RSS Bridge will serve:
mkdir /var/data/config/rssbridge
cd /var/data/config/rssbridge
RSS Bridge Docker Swarm config
Create a docker swarm config file in docker-compose syntax (v3), something like the example below:
Fast-track with premix! 🚀
"Premix" is a git repository which includes necessary docker-compose and env files for all published recipes. This means that you can launch any recipe with just a git pull and a docker stack deploy 👍.
🚀 Update: Premix now includes an ansible playbook, enabling you to deploy an entire stack + recipes, with a single ansible command! (more here)
