FY RSS

FY RSS (For You RSS) is a modern, minimalistic RSS feed aggregator that curates and displays articles from your favorite sources — with a focus on speed, personalization, and a clean reading experience.

It consists of:

  • fyrss-server — A lightweight Go backend that fetches, parses, and manages RSS feeds and articles.
  • fyrss-web — An Angular frontend that provides an intuitive and responsive user interface.

Features

  • Feed Management - Add, organize, and manage RSS feeds
  • Article Reading - Clean, distraction-free reading experience
  • Save Articles - Bookmark articles for later reading
  • Reading History - Track your reading progress
  • Dark/Light Mode - Adaptive theming with user preference persistence
  • Responsive Design - Works perfectly on desktop, tablet, and mobile

Quick Start with Docker Compose

The easiest way to deploy the complete FY RSS stack:

1. Create compose.yml:

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:17
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      POSTGRES_USER: ${PG_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${PG_PASSWORD}
      PGDATA: /data/postgres
    volumes:
      - db-fyrss:/data/postgres
      - ./db-init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d:ro
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "pg_isready -U ${PG_USER}"]
      interval: 10s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5
    networks:
      - backend

  server:
    image: ghcr.io/lucasg04/fyrss-server:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    depends_on:
      postgres:
        condition: service_healthy
    env_file:
      - .env
    networks:
      - backend
      - public_net
    sysctls:
      net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6: 1
      net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6: 1

  web:
    image: ghcr.io/lucasg04/fyrss-web:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "4000:4000"
    environment:
      - API_URL=/api
    depends_on:
      - server
    networks:
      - public_net

volumes:
  db-fyrss:

networks:
  backend:
    internal: true
  public_net:

2. Create .env file:

PG_USER=postgres
PG_PASSWORD=changeme
DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:changeme@postgres:5432/fyrss?sslmode=disable
PORT=8080
RSS_FEED_INTERVAL_MS=3600000

3. Create ./db-init/create_db.sql file:

CREATE DATABASE fyrss;

4. Start the stack:

docker compose up -d

Access the application: http://localhost:4000
