rss-feed-aggregator

An opinionated implementation of the pluto RSS feed aggregator into a blog-like interface for providing visibility and keeping up with releases of Ansible community projects.

It is deployed and available here: https://rss.community.eng.ansible.com

How it works

• GitHub provides RSS feeds for tags and releases, for example: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/tags.atom
• PyPi provides RSS feeds for project releases, for example: https://pypi.org/rss/project/ansible/releases.xml

In roles/feed-aggregator/defaults/main.yaml you'll find a list of Ansible collection repositories that are included in the Ansible community package as well as PyPi project feed URLs.

These are templated into a planet.ini which is used by pluto to determine which feeds to fetch updates for.

pluto then builds a static HTML website aggregating all the feeds to a specified location, in this case /var/www/feed-aggregator.

TODO

• Some collections report an erroneous (or otherwise incorrect) repository URL in their galaxy.yml, see TODOs in roles/feed-aggregator/defaults/main.yaml.
• openstack.cloud is hosted on gitea (although it is mirrored on github) and RSS support for gitea is a work in progress: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/569
• Add a CI job with Zuul or a GitHub Action that tests the deployment in PRs
