How to install Yarr on Fedora Server Latest

Yarr is a modern, fast and lightweight RSS reader that can be self-hosted. It uses PostgreSQL as a database and supports multiple users, tags, and custom RSS providers. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Yarr on Fedora Server Latest using Docker.

Prerequisites

Before we proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Fedora Server Latest machine with Docker installed
  • A PostgreSQL database server with a valid username and password
  • A domain name or subdomain pointing to your machine's public IP

Step 1: Clone Yarr repository

First, clone the Yarr repository to your machine using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git

This will create a local copy of the Yarr repository.

Step 2: Create a configuration file

Next, create a config.yml file by copying the config.default.yml file:

cd yarr
cp config.default.yml config.yml

Edit the config.yml file and change the following values:

  • port: The port number where Yarr will listen (default is 8080)
  • postgres.host: The hostname or IP address of your PostgreSQL database server
  • postgres.port: The port number of your PostgreSQL database server (default is 5432)
  • postgres.username: The username of your PostgreSQL database
  • postgres.password: The password of your PostgreSQL database
  • public_url: The URL of your Yarr instance (in the https://yourdomain.com format)

Save the changes and exit the editor.

Step 3: Build the Docker image

Now, we will build the Docker image for Yarr:

docker build -t yarr .

This may take a few minutes to complete.

Step 4: Run the Docker container

Finally, run the Docker container with the following command:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 --name yarr yarr

This will start the Yarr container in the background and map the container's port 8080 to the host's port 8080. You can change the host port number to any available port.

Step 5: Access Yarr

Yarr should now be accessible from your browser at the URL https://yourdomain.com:8080. If you have set up SSL, make sure to use https:// instead of http://.

You can now create an account, add RSS feeds, and start using Yarr as your RSS reader.
