Welcome to the age of personalized content, where an RSS reader can be your best friend! If you’re looking for an open-source RSS reader inspired by Google Reader, you can easily set up CommaFeed, powered by Quarkus and built with ReactTypeScript. In this guide, we will delve into the installation, configuration, and deployment processes to help you get started.

Features of CommaFeed

How to Deploy CommaFeed

1. Using Docker

The simplest method to get started with CommaFeed is by using Docker. Docker images are built automatically and can be found at Docker Hub.

2. Cloud Hosting

You can opt for cloud-hosting solutions from PikaPods, which offers 1-click deployment starting at $1/month with a free $5 welcome credit. PikaPods even shares 20% of the revenue back to CommaFeed!

3. Download a Precompiled Package

To download the latest version for your operating system and preferred database, head to the release page. Choose between:

• Compiled packages for Linux and Windows, containing an executable.
• JVM packages that are universal and can be started with java -jar quarkus-run.jar.

4. Build from Sources

If you prefer to build from the source code, run the command below. Replace [database] with your desired database type.

.mvnw clean package [-Pdatabase] [-Pnative] [-DskipTests]

Here’s a breakdown of the options:

• -Pdatabase: Choose from h2, postgresql, mysql, or mariadb (defaults to h2).
• -Pnative: Compiles the application to native code (requires GraalVM).
• -DskipTests: Speeds up the build process by skipping tests.

Configuration

CommaFeed works seamlessly with its embedded H2 database, but if you prefer a different one, you can configure it using properties like:

quarkus.datasource.jdbc.url    # Example for H2: jdbc:h2:.datadb;DEFRAG_ALWAYS=TRUE

Refer to the Quarkus documentation for more configuration options.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you run into issues during installation or deployment, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure you have the correct Java version installed, preferably 11 or above.
• If using Docker, confirm the images are pulled correctly and consult Docker logs.
• Double-check your database configuration in the properties file.
• Make sure you are using the correct ports as specified in the documentation.
• Keep your application updated by subscribing to the release feed.
