๐ Awesome TTRSS โ
About โ
๐ Awesome TTRSS aims to provide a powerful Dockerized all-in-one solution for Tiny Tiny RSS, an open source RSS feed reader and aggregator written in PHP, with enhanced user experience via simplified deployment and a list of curated plugins.
Special Thanks โ
Deployment โ
A VPS is highly recommended to host your Awesome TTRSS instance, a VPS can be obtained from as little as $5/month at DigitalOcean.
Awesome TTRSS supports multiple architectures x86 โarm32v7 โarm64v8 โ, except the OpenCC API.
Deployment via Docker โ
docker run -it --name ttrss --restart=always \
-e SELF_URL_PATH=[ your public URL ] \
-e DB_HOST=[ your DB address ] \
-e DB_PORT=[ your DB port ] \
-e DB_NAME=[ your DB name ] \
-e DB_USER=[ your DB user ] \
-e DB_PASS=[ your DB password ] \
-p [ public port ]:80 \
-d wangqiru/ttrss
Deployment via Docker Compose โ
docker-compose.yml include 4 docker images:
- TTRSS
- PostgreSQL
- Mercury Parser API
- OpenCC API arm32v7 โarm64v8 โ
- RSSHub
Steps โ
- Download docker-compose.yml to any directory.
- Read
docker-compose.yml
and change the settings (please ensure you have changed the password for postgres). - Run
docker compose up -d
and wait for the deployment to finish. - Access ttrss via port 181, with default credentials
admin
andpassword
, please change them asap. wangqiru/mercury-parser-api
andwangqiru/opencc-api-server
are optional service containers to support additional features, removing them will not affect TTRSS's basic functionalities.

For more environment variables, please refer to the official tt-rss repo.
Configure HTTPS โ
TTRSS container itself doesn't handle HTTPS traffic. Examples of configuring a Caddy or an Nginx reverse proxy with free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt are shown below:
# Caddyfile
ttrssdev.henry.wang {
reverse_proxy 127.0.0.1:181
encode zstd gzip
}
# nginx.conf
upstream ttrssdev {
server 127.0.0.1:181;
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name ttrssdev.henry.wang;
return 301 https://ttrssdev.henry.wang$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
gzip on;
server_name ttrssdev.henry.wang;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/ttrssdev.henry.wang/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/ttrssdev.henry.wang/privkey.pem;
location / {
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://ttrssdev;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Ssl on;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Frame-Options SAMEORIGIN;
client_max_body_size 100m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}
}
๐ด Please note that the value in you SELF_URL_PATH
should be changed as well.
Update โ
Awesome TTRSS automatically keeps up with TTRSS by mirroring the official releases, this means update can be issued frequently.
Since TTRSS stopped releasing tags, wangqiru/ttrss:latest
will sync with TTRSS' main branch periodically.
Manual Update โ
You can fetch the latest image manually:
docker pull wangqiru/ttrss:latest
# docker pull wangqiru/mercury-parser-api:latest
# docker pull wangqiru/opencc-api-server:latest
docker compose up -d # If you didn't use docker compose, I'm sure you know what to do.
Auto Update โ
The example Docker Compose includes Watchtower, which automatically pulls all containers included in Awesome TTRSS (and other containers running on your system) and refreshes your running services. By default, it's disabled, make sure it will not affect your other service containers before enabling this.
To exclude images, check the following for disabling auto update for containers:
service.mercury:
image: wangqiru/mercury-parser-api:latest
container_name: mercury
expose:
- 3000
restart: always
# โฌ๏ธ this prevents Watchtower from auto updating mercury-parser-api
labels:
- com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=false
Database Upgrade or Migration โ
Postgres major version upgrades (15->16) will require some manual operations. Sometimes breaking changes will be introduced to further optimize Awesome TTRSS.
Steps โ
WARNING
Do not skip multiple major versions when upgrading Postgres, for example, upgrading from 13.x to 16.x directly is not supported and may cause data loss.
This section demonstrates the steps to upgrade Postgres major version (from 15.x to 16.x) or migrate from other images to postgres:alpine.
Stop all the service containers:
bashdocker compose stop
Copy the Postgres data volume
~/postgres/data/
(or the location specified in your Docker Compose file) to somewhere else as a backup, THIS IS IMPORTANT.Use the following command to dump all your data:
bashdocker exec postgres pg_dumpall -c -U YourUsername > export.sql
Delete the Postgres data volume
~/postgres/data/
.Update your Docker Compose file (Note that the
DB_NAME
must not be changed) withdatabase.postgres
section in the the latest docker-compose.yml, and bring it up:bashdocker compose up -d
Use the following command to restore all your data:
bashcat export.sql | docker exec -i postgres psql -U YourUsername
Test if everything works fine, and now you may remove the backup in step 2.
Plugins โ
Mercury Fulltext Extraction โ
Fetch fulltext of articles via a self-hosted Mercury Parser API. A separate Mercury Parser API is required, the example Docker Compose has already included such a server.
Steps โ
- Enable
mercury-fulltext
plugin in preference - Enter Mercury Parser API endpoint
Use service.mercury:3000
for Mercury instance deployed via Awesome-TTRSS.
Extraction Button โ
FreshRSS / Google Reader API โ
A FreshRSS / Google Reader API Plugin for Tiny-Tiny RSS
Steps โ
- Navigate to the Preferences menu in Tiny Tiny RSS, and check the box under "General" titled "Enable API"
- In Preferences, open the Plugin menu and enable "freshapi"
- When configuring your mobile app, select either "FreshRSS" or "Google Reader API". You'll need to point your client to your TT-RSS installation, depending on your setup. If you're using a subdomain to host TT-RSS then use
https://yoursubdomain.yourdomain.com/plugins.local/freshapi/api/greader.php
. If you're running on the root domain, usehttps://yourdomain.com/plugins.local/freshapi/api/greader.php
as the server URL. - Use your standard TT-RSS username and password. If you've enabled 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) generate and use an App Password. As with all plugins which handle authentication, using HTTPS is strongly recommended.
Fever API โ
Provide Fever API simulation.
Steps โ
- Enable API in preference
- Enter a password for Fever in preference
- In supported RSS readers, use
https://[your url]/plugins/fever
as the target server address, with your account and the password set in Step 2. - The plugin communicates with TTRSS using an unsalted MD5 hash, using HTTPS is strongly recommended.
OpenCC Simp-Trad Chinese Conversion arm32v7 โarm64v8 โ โ
Conversion between Traditional and Simplified Chinese via OpenCC , a separate OpenCC API Server is required. The example Docker Compose has already included such a server.
Steps โ
- Enable
opencc
plugin in preference - Enter OpenCC API endpoint
Use service.opencc:3000
for OpenCC instance deployed via Awesome-TTRSS.
