Hello! i'm new to rss feeds, i would like to know how to add an rss feed from a .rss file to this container if this app can handle this kind of file or a manner of gather the rss link from that file. Thanks

Hi @filippo-ferrando, This app does not work with downloaded .rss files, only live links to RSS files/pages. This is most common with RSS since the current RSS file will only typically show the latest posts at this time. An RSS reader app like this will therefore fetch the RSS file, from the provided url, at regular intervals to check for the latest posts.

If you're having trouble with a particular site/feed just let me know and I may be able to provide an example of configuration for this app.

Thanks for the response! I'm having trouble with unixmen and nixcraft RSS feeds, of you can help me, It would be great!!

@filippo-ferrando So the app feeds.txt configuration for those sites would be like so:

https://www.unixmen.com/feed/ Unixmen[#328ec3] #news #linux
https://www.cyberciti.com/feed/ nixCraft[#3b5bdb] #news #linux

The first URLs on each line are the RSS URLs. The bits afterwards is app-specific configuration to set the name, color and tags, as per our guidances here.

If a feed button/link is provided on a site, and it downloads an .xml file, sometimes you instead need to Right Click > Copy link for the button/link instead to get the feed url.

Note: From my testing, the nixcraft feed won't load post preview images due to cloudlfare security they have on their site, which blocks requests to check the page from the app.

Thanks! I'll try right now

You were right, Unixman doesn't load preview, not a big deal. Thanks for your help!
