    I would love to use miniflux (https://miniflux.net/) on Cloudron.

      I was going to reply to the original post, but the forum suggested I create a new post instead. I would really, really love to see Miniflux in Cloudron's ecosystem as it would save me from managing another server.

      Additionally, because of the lack of Miniflux, I've began looking into Cloudron alternatives like YunoHost, which does offer that and a plethora of other apps. I'm not sure how nice it is and I definitely like Cloudron, so it would be great to have it as part of their ecosystem.

      I would like to have database access which can be quite limited in Cloudron, so I'll make another feature app request for something like phpMyAdmin or Adminer.

        @ajtatum Have you looked into TinyTinyRSS or FreshRSS ?

        For database, are you looking for LAMP app ? That has phpMyAdmin.

          I've began looking into Cloudron alternatives like YunoHost

          I tried Yunohost a while back and found it flakey.
          Caprover is better than Yunohost, but that also has a fair number of apps that don't install correctly.
          Neither of them are a patch on Cloudron, which is rock-solid. Having spent many hours on alternatives, I would strongly recommend spending less total time on making Cloudron work for you.

          As @girish says, FreshRSS and TinyRSS work well.
          I don't know the advantages of Miniflux, but maybe it could be packaged.

          I would like to have database access which can be quite limited in Cloudron

          A little surprised by this. I was of the opinion database access in Cloudron is good. What functionality are you wanting that you don't feel is available?

            @girish I have and actually don't use Miniflux as a RSS Reader, but for an RSS content aggregation source. They have an awesome API and I use n8n to read from Miniflux to get new content from various categories of feeds, get the article of the website & clean the HTML, then I send a portion of the article to be posted to WordPress with a link the the original source, and then make a call to Miniflux's API to mark those items as read.

            Personally, while I've tried Fresh RSS and many other self hosted readers, I stick with Inoreader because it's just so much better and more powerful (I use it as a means to generate new posts to share on social media).

            I can't use the same RSS Reader for my personal reading and content aggregator as it would lose track of what's read, etc.

            I know FreshRSS has a Fever API, but didn't notice it until after I built everything and honestly FreshRSS is a bit overkill resource wise. What's also nice about Miniflux is that you can provide a proxy URL in case some websites don't like my IP.

            Anyways, that's my use case. Personally, hosting it isnt too much of a pain but I absolutely hate managing PostgresSQL so I have a managed instance.. which costs more. Thus is why having it all managed in Cloudron would be ideal and save me money and any hassles.

              Have you got a link to (or could you write?) a guide to setting something like that up? 🙂

              I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

                This looks really trivial to package - https://miniflux.app/docs/installation.html#binary ! Let me see how long this takes.

                  That was indeed quite easy! I published the package as unstable - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/miniflux-app

                      Such a great tool and substitute for my Feedly. As I can see, it handles fullfeeds. Thanks for providing it as an app.
