Tiny Tiny RSS Puns

The crappy plasmoid ttrssPocket has evoluted to standalone Tiny News made with kirigami.

Tiny news is a client of the "Tiny tiny rss", the free and open source web-based news feed reader and aggregator. It has also basic getpocket.com features.

I was super interested in throwing Tiny Tiny RSS on my home server... then I looked at the codebase. I think the guy who wrote it may have been a hobbyist who learned PHP when PHP 5 first came out. No modern practices to be found anywhere and huge room for improvement.

I think I want to rewrite it using a cleaner approach and maybe even a modern framework like Symfony as the foundation.

Anyone else onboard? Projects are both more fun and more productive when I have someone else to work with and holding me accountable. :-)

I have set up Tiny Tiny RSS using the following instructions.
How can I make an update?
Or is it useful to switch to the version under Docker (https://tt-rss.org/wiki/InstallationNotes)?

1. Install PHP 7.2, MariaDB 10, phpMyAdmin in the package center
2. in Webstation activate PHP 7.2 and the following things:
   curl, iconv, intl, mysqli, pdo_mysql
3. Start MariaDB 10 and activate TCP/IP connection
4. connect with SSH and enter the following commands:
   /usr/local/mariadb10/bin/mysql -u root -p
   create database ttrss;
   use mysql;
   quit
5. start phpMyAdmin and create new user ttrss with global rights
6. connect with SSH as superuser and enter the following commands:
   git clone https://tt-rss.org/git/tt-rss.git /var/services/web/tt-rss
   cd /volume1/web/tt-rss/ && chmod -R 777 cache feed-icons lock
7. Open http://NAS_URL/tt-rss/install/
   and make the following settings:
   Database type: MySQL
   Username: ttrss
   Password: OBEN_DEFINIERT
   Database name: ttrss
   Host name: NAS_URL
   Port: 3307
   Tiny Tiny RSS URL: DYNDNS_URL/tt-rss/
8. Open config.php and change
   define('PHP_EXECUTABLE', '/usr/bin/php');
   to
   define('PHP_EXECUTABLE', '/usr/local/bin/php72');
9. Create tt-rss-update.sh with the content:
   /usr/local/bin/php72 /volume1/web/tt-rss/update.php --feeds --quite
10. Setup script as scheduled task on Synology NAS

Hi all !

Im new with docker (and Synology) and i want to install Tiny Tiny RSS on my Synology.

Im looking for a Step-by-step installation. I was searching but i cant find. :(

If you can help me with, this will be appreciate.

Thanks

Hi.

I'm hoping someone here can help me with this. I'm not that technical, but I managed to install Tiny Tiny RSS last year, and I'm now looking to install FreshRSS can I do that on the same server as I have Tiny Tiny RSS? I have bought server space on one.com.

Thanks so much in advance.

So - I'm not a techie -- far from it; but I learn quickly. I had a friend by today; and we started by installing FreshRSS -- and then Tiny Tiny RSS (I like TT RSS better).

But - of course - nothing is updating. You need to set up a daemon so it runs. And, specifically daemon2, so it runs all the time.

She *is* a techie -- and we cannot make heads or tails out of these instructions. It's not done though PHP My Admin, obviously. I use Filezilla - that won't work. We downloaded Putty, which gets me in; but even after that, I don't see a command line. Tried bringing up the Interactive Shell (php -a) - no luck.

Obviously, this isn't specific to TT RSS, necessarily; but I'm at a loss. I see the following site:
https://git.tt-rss.org/fox/tt-rss/wiki/UpdatingFeeds

But, yeah - no idea where/how to enter that info.

I am using 1and1.com / Ionos as my server.

Any step-by-step as to how to/where to access wherever to enter that PHP command?

Thanks!

I've been setting up a tiny tiny rss installation on my Raspberry Pi. I have more or less everything done, being the last step creating, enabling and launching the systemd process, as its written here.

My problem here is that I'm not really sure if the systemd process is running as intended or if I'm missing something here. My (basic) idea is "each 5 minutes, update the feeds", to be refined to a better schedule (i.e. don't update feeds when I'm usually asleep), but it seems the process either is not running or only runs when I click on the reader.

Doing systemctl list-unit-files | grep enabled (or with the grep enabled part) shows the process as running but, at random intervals, the web interfaces for tt-rss is telling me that the daemon is not updating stuff.

I'm guessing I will need to set up a cron task (as the updating feeds entry talks about, although it points to a different case of use) to update the feeds periodically, but I feel I'm missing something here.

I discovered this application while digging into Google Play. Seems not to be famous (yet) , few downloads, few ratings, while it is terrific.

Why terrific? because while you're online it keeps downloading your feeds from server, so when offline you will not even notice you are. Just open your app and read! Obviously you will have gestures to mark article read, "share" features eg to push to pocket, full article view and so on.

Before I go through with purchasing webhosting and trying to install Tiny Tiny RSS can someone tell me if I can share links via email in it? And how does it handle duplicate news?

Thanks so much in advance

So I decided to try to self-host an RSS feed to keep up with my webcomics and such and settled on Tiny Tiny RSS.

After installing mySQL and creating a database with the help of more Linux-savvy friends I went to the second step in the install instructions: opening the PHP install file, to which I was greeted with the default nginx 404, despite having set up a custom one.

The server is running Ubuntu 18.04.1 with PHP 7.2 installed. The relevant section in nginx.conf is as follows:

location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
}

php7.2-fpm.sock is definitely in that location and the service is running, I've purged and reinstalled it and nothing seems to work.

Any help is appreciated. I'm not that advanced with using Linux but I'm doing my best.

EDIT: SOLVED

The problem was with permissions and how Ubuntu specifically runs Nginx, seeing as my friend on Arch had no problem doing the exact same thing. Adding in the line

user www-data;

to the top of your nginx.conf should solve it!

Thanks to everyone who helped me, can't wait to set up my self-hosted rss feed!

Hi people,

Do any of you know of an app, program, appx or application that allows me to sync from my private TT-RSS instance? I found a java based feed reader once, but I couldn't get it to work at all.

Any ideas or bets?

Hello.

I have managed to install tt-rss on my laptop, but I can't get the feeds working. No matter what feed I add it claims that it hasn't been updated since january 1. 1970. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now.

Can you help me?

here's 2 examples of the feeds I've tried:

Hello folks,

This weekend project is to get control over my RSS feeds. I've narrowed down the competition to the above three.

Which one do you recommend and why? If you used all of them, please tell me which one do you think is the best.

Hi,

I've made a quick and dirty iOS shortcut to make adding RSS Feeds from your iPhone/iPad to your selfhosted Tiny Tiny RSS easy. It can grab the feed URL directly from your clipboard, or you can enter it manually, and allows you to choose a category.

You can download the shortcut at the following link:

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/321cb16915324146b3f7931b5b2a08b7

To set it up, add the shortcut and type in your TT-RSS username, password and TT-RSS API URL (make sure you've enabled API access for your account).

Let me know if you have any improvements, this is my first time trying out making iOS shortcuts!

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set up TT-RSS on my DS918+ using docker. I'm fairly new to docker but I think I get the main concepts involved, however I cannot get TT-RSS set up. I've tried multiple images and a whole host of environment variables and settings and nothing seems to work. Depending on the image I use, TT-RSS either doesn't run at all, won't load it's GUI, or cannot connect to the requisite postgresql database.

All the guides online are either not specific to synology devices, or reference old images that are no longer available/don't work. Has anyone set up TT-RSS recently, and would be willing to provide some guidance?

Does someone use tiny tiny rss and knows how to solve this problem:

Every time a add a feed I see this warning in my logs:

E_WARNING (2) classes/rssutils.php:258 gzdecode(): data error

i just installed a dockerized tt-rss on my synology nas. since port 80 is already in use, I had to change it to a different port. While accessible via browser, I cannot get the tt-rss client (android) to connect.

There seems to be no specific setting for an alternative port; I tried putting it in with the url (http://my-ip:7480/tt-rss/), but no success. Would somebody please help me out?

Which is a better self hosted RSS reader and why? Which do you prefer?

I like that FreshRSS is fast & simple, and I like that tt-rss has a few Android apps for it. But overall, I'm not sure where I should be comparing the two readers.

I feel like I have been all over the internet trying to find some sort of guide to install TT-Rss (preferably on a Raspberry Pi). I found some guides but I guess I lack technical knowledge to follow them.
