I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Quick question, don't want to highjack the thread. This looks interesting, but I don't understand why I couldn't just install it on my regular laptop running fedora. Why does it need it's own server?

[–] chrono@apollo.town 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Well you can install it locally and get the web interface via localhost, but if it's a proper server you can access the news from your sources from anywhere and you can also use 3rd party apps in your phone to get a different interface via the API

FreshRSS is just a PHP app so you don't even need a VPS - you could even install it in a regular shared hosting account.

[–] Drudge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh ok thanks. I do like the idea of access from anywhere... I'm guessing a VPN would be needed on the server and phone? Or is this a whole big thing?

[–] chrono@apollo.town 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Check out tailscale, the best tool ever to access a server without opening ports or doing hard stuff

[–] hroderic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or Cloudflare tunnels

[–] chrono@apollo.town 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah but I kinda dislike cloudflare. Tailscale is based on wireguard which is cool

[–] hroderic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cool, I've heard of it but never really looked into it. I'll give it a try.

Do you have any recommendations for 3rd party apps? I did a quick search but couldn't find any apps built for FreshRSS

[–] dan@upvote.au 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

On Android, the main apps are Readrops and FeedMe

[–] null@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 years ago

Brilliant. Thanks!

Reeder for iOS/macOS can’t be beat!

[–] BumbleBear@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

On their GitHub page it has a list mobile / native apps that can access FreshRSS.
