Installing

Docker

Updating Home Assistant

docker pull homeassistant/home-assistant:stable

docker run --rm -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock assaflavie/runlike -p home-assistant

docker stop home-assistant

docker rm home-assistant

docker run --name=home-assistant \

n8n

Docker apparently won't populate the volume if it's a local bind giving a "Error: Command "start" not found"

For the first time I created the docker volume then manually copied out the contents. This should not be necessary anymore.

mkdir -p /mnt/storage5/data/docker/n8n

docker volume create n8n_data

docker run -it --rm --name n8n -p 5678:5678 -v n8n_data:/home/node/.n8n docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n

docker volume inspect n8n_data

sudo rsync -avP /var/lib/docker/volumes/n8n_data/_data/ /mnt/storage5/data/docker/n8n/

In order to allow connections from the network:

N8N_SECURE_COOKIE to false

N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=trueand then add the user and password you want for N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER andN8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD

How to install n8n:

docker run -it --rm \

 --name n8n \
 -p 5678:5678 \
 --network host \
 -v /mnt/storage5/data/docker/n8n:/home/node/.n8n \
 -e N8N_SECURE_COOKIE=false \
 -e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_ACTIVE=true \
 -e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_USER=hegemon \
 -e N8N_BASIC_AUTH_PASSWORD=nopassword \
 -e N8N_RUNNERS_ENABLED=true \
 n8nio/n8n:stable

Gogs

docker run --name=gogs \
       --hostname=a6085e10821c \
       --mac-address=02:42:ac:11:00:02 \
       --volume /backup \
       --volume /mnt/storage5/data/gogs:/data \
       --network=bridge \
       --workdir=/app/gogs \
       -p 10022:22 \
       -p 10080:3000 \
       --restart=always \
       --log-driver=journald \
       --runtime=runc \
       --detach=true \
       gogs/gogs:0.12 \
       /bin/s6-svscan /app/gogs/docker/s6/

Not sure what that executable is? The latest version of gog's 0.13 has an issue....

Orpington-news

I created a database

hegemon@hextor ~/s/r/server (master)> sudo -u postgres psql
psql (16.10 (Ubuntu 16.10-0ubuntu0.24.04.1))
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE orpington;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# CREATE USER orpington WITH PASSWORD 'alpha4';
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE orpington TO orpington;
GRANT
postgres=#

The service is started with:

docker run -it --name orpington-news --restart=always \
-e APP_URL=http://hextor:3333  \
-e DB_USER=orpington \
-e DB_NAME=orpington \
-e DB_HOST=hextor  \
-e DB_PASS=alpha4  \
-e DISABLE_SECURE_COOKIE=true \
-p 3333:8000  \
-d ghcr.io/frysztak/orpington-news

tt-rss

comment out the extended_filtering line in /usr/share/tt-rss/www/classes/classes/urlhelper.php:99 to allow local ips and non-standard ports

Add the following to the function

     static function build_url($parts) {

       $tmp = $parts['scheme'] . "://" . $parts['host'];

 

       // Include port if it exists and is not standard

       if (isset($parts['port']) && !in_array($parts['port'], ['', 80, 443])) {

         $tmp .= ':' . $parts['port'];

       }

Name	Comment
Tiny Tiny RSS	Apparently bad code and dev but seems to more fleshed out.	220 (It's on gitlab)	No drag and drop. Some issues with things like updating feeds... No sort order. NO LIST VIEW! Articles open full size and have to be scrolled though
FreshRSS	Doesn't support reordering (There is a issue request). Clunky UI. Supports extensions (Including a YouTube one).	12.3k	No drag and drop. UI kind shit.
RSSMonster	Looks nice and should have drag and drop reordering. Requires a MySQL database.	456	Drag and drop only reordered categories, not feed order. Massive pain to setup. Can't edit feeds after adding or even change category.
orpington-news	Looks nice and should have drag and drop reordering. Requires a Postgresql database.	126	Hasn't been updated in the last 2 years :(
danb/rss	Someone on reddit said it's not good at management but the UI is nice.	WTF is codeberg
miniflux/v2	Reddit recommendation from 7 years ago still seems to be recommended today. See also ReactFlux	8k	No drag and drop. UI kind shit. NextFlux frontend not much better.
CommaFeed	Nice but no drag an drop, does have a fairly simple 'priority' though.	3.2k
newspipe	Screenshot shows feeds not in alphabetical order.
glean	New, need to checkout.

QuiteRSS	Desktop App! Is there sync? Saw it recommended on a github issue.
fluent-reader	Reddit was saying you can use the Google Reader API on FreshRSS with this desktop app.
RSS Bridge	It generates web feeds for websites that don't have one.
