There are no obvious dependencies, but I always find PostgreSQL configuration annoying. If you're like me, you might want to consider an open source app called “glance” instead.

Not sure how easy it is to setup on shared hosting, but you can install it on your own server.

What is Miniflux?

Miniflux is a minimalist and opinionated feed reader.

Reader Feed formats supported: Atom, RSS 1.0/2.0, RDF, and JSON OPML import/export Support multiple enclosures/attachments (Podcasts, videos, music, and images) Play videos from YouTube channels directly inside Miniflux Categories Bookmarks Fetch website icons (favicons) Save articles to third-party services

Privacy Remove pixel trackers Fetch original links when the feed is coming from FeedBurner Open external links with the attributes rel="noopener noreferrer" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" Image proxy to avoid mixed content warnings with HTTPS Play Youtube videos by using the domain youtube-nocookie.com Block any external Javascript code to avoid tracking

Content Manipulation Fetch original article and returns relevant contents (Readability) Custom scraper rules based on CSS selectors Custom rewriting rules

User Interface Stylesheet optimized for readability Responsive design (works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices) Doesn't require to download an application from the App/Play Store Keyboard shortcuts Touch events on mobile devices

Integration Send articles to Pinboard, Instapaper, Pocket, or Wallabag Bookmarklet to subscribe to a website directly from any browsers Use existing mobile applications to read your feeds by using the Fever API REST API with clients written in Go and Python

Technical stuff Self-hosted Written in Go (Golang) Use only Postgres as database There is no dependency, only a single static binary Automatic HTTPS configuration with Let's Encrypt Use your own SSL certificate Supports HTTP/2.0 if TLS is configured Feeds are updated in the background by an internal scheduler External content is sanitized before being displayed Use content security policy that allows only application Javascript and block inline code and styles Works only in modern browsers
