I’ve recently gotten back into reading RSS feeds only to find a bunch of sites don’t generate them any more. I use RSS-bridge to fill some of the gaps, but there’s still some sites it didn’t support. I made my own self-hosted RSS feed generator in Elixir called Living in Syndication. I push builds to Docker Hub so you can quickly get it up and running. I’d love PR’s that contribute new RSS feed generators.

Here’s a screenshot:

Just copy the RSS urls from the buttons into your reader app, and you’re ready to go.

From the readme:

Living in Syndication

Generate RSS feeds for sites that don’t have them.

Many sites don’t provide RSS feeds these days. This project is a self-hosted app that will scrape the HTML of various sites and create RSS feeds for you. This app is similar to RSS-Bridge, but supports different sites. My favorite RSS Reader is Miniflux.

Supported Sties

• American Bird Conservancy
• AP Top News
• eBird
• False Knees
• National Audubon Society

Installation

Builds of Living in Syndication are published to Docker Hub.

You can run a build with Docker like this:

$ docker run -it -p 4001:80 ericlathrop/living_in_syndication:v0.1.0

If you want to make your own build:

1. Clone this repo.
2. Install Elixir
3. Install Rust
4. Run mix deps.get inside the repo.
5. Run MIX_ENV=prod mix release inside the repo.
6. The build will be located in the _build/prod folder inside the repo. You can copy it to a server and run rel/living_in_syndication/bin/living_in_syndication start to start the server.

See the Dockerfile for more complete build instructions.

Help Wanted: Adding More Sites

I’d love PRs for adding more supported sites. Please look at the eBird generator as an example.
