My previous guide for RSS involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today Iâm offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest RSS version via Portainer. RSS is a simple RSS feed aggregator. It supports RSS and ATOM formats with regular auto-fetching of RSS feeds. Every hour by default, configurable down to 5 mins. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install RSS on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
This guide works perfectly with the latest RSS v1.5.3 release.
STEP 1
Please Support My work by Making a Donation.
STEP 2
Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.
STEP 3
Install Text Editor via Synology âPackage Centerâ.
STEP 4
Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it rss. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 5
Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 6
In the Name field type in rss. Follow the instructions in the image below.
version: "3.9"
services:
rss:
container_name: RSS
image: codeberg.org/danb/rss:latest
healthcheck:
test: timeout 10s bash -c ':> /dev/tcp/127.0.0.1/80' || exit 1
interval: 10s
timeout: 5s
retries: 3
start_period: 90s
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/rss:/app/storage:rw
ports:
- 6488:80
restart: on-failure:5
STEP 7
Scroll down on the page until you see a button named Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.
STEP 8
If everything goes right, you will see the following message at the top right of your screen: âSuccess Stack successfully deployedâ.
STEP 9
The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your rss folder that you have previously created at STEP 4. Double click on the feeds.txt file. Add your favorite website RSS feed link and a description. Click X to save the settings. Note: The description is mandatory. Note: You can add multiple website rss feeds, link and description, in the next line (one website with description per line). Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 10
Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma đ
STEP 11
The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:6488
Enjoy RSS!
