I was a heavy Google Reader user.
When it disappeared, I switched to NewsBlur.
NewsBlur is great but it lacks one particular feature: an RSS feed for a folder of blogs.
(or a category of blogs, potato - potahto)
So I switched to self-hosted FreshRSS.
It has all the features I want (plus, unlike NewsBlur, it's free) but it is Docker-based and I am already like 10 versions behind and I am too lazy/scared to learn how to upgrade it without destroying the Universe.
BoredReading has a fantastic UI and I absolutely love the approach and organization of feeds. Key shortcuts are cool, too.
If there is ever a self-hosted version that I can feed with my own stuff from scratch (ideally via an OPML file), I'd go for it immediately.

You should be scared, the other day I messed a completely functioning miniflux docker by upgrading it. It's been so long since I set it all up that I lost the incantation necessary for the setup or the will to look it up, just went ahead and I'm using newsblur again. Sigh. I'm getting old and loosing the will/patience to selfhost.
- thunderbong 4y agoI've faced this before. Ever since I've always preferred using a docker compose file so that all those myriad configurations get saved correctly.
- snapplebobapple 4y agoYou guys need to use docker compose, then it is as simple as docker compose pull then docker compose up -d --force-recreate. I keep my containers each in their own dir with a docker compose file with the volumes specified as ./volmedirname:/mountpointincontainer Which makes it dead simple to write a bash script to go in to each dir, do a docker compose pull then bring everything up again. Extra points to call that script from cron.
