CommaFeed is a free and open source feed reader which can be self hosted on a web server, like FreshRSS. It draws inspiration from Google Reader based on Quarkus and React/TypeScript . In this step by step guide I will show you how to install CommaFeed on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest CommaFeed v5.0.2 release.

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

• STEP 3

Add Read & Write Permissions to the Docker Folder. If you have already added the Read and Write Permissions to the Docker Folder, skip this STEP.
