General Installation Instructions
These instructions are intended as general guidelines for installing FreshRSS. You may wish to consult the Step-by-step Tutorial for installing FreshRSS on Debian 9/Ubuntu 16.04 if you don't currently have a web server and don't have experience setting one up.
Before you begin, make sure that you've read the prerequisites for running FreshRSS. As shorthand, . refers to the directory to which your FreshRSS installation lives.
-
If the computer you're running on is not currently running a web server, you'll first need to install and configure a web server, a version of PHP, and an appropriate database, as listed in the prerequisites. Example Apache and Nginx configuration files can be found here.
-
Download your chosen version of FreshRSS, or fetch it via git. It's advisable that you put FreshRSS in
/usr/share/, and symlink the./p/folder to the root of your web server.1 -
Give ownership of the FreshRSS folder to your web server user (often
www-data). Give group read permissions to all files in.2 , and group write permissions to./data/. -
Install needed PHP modules.
-
Create a database for FreshRSS to use. Note the username and password for this database, as it will be needed during installation!
-
Using your supported web browser of choice, navigate to the address you've installed your server to complete the installation from the GUI.3
-
Make sure to expose only the
./p/folder to the Web, as the other directories contain personal and sensitive data. ↩︎ -
If you wish to allow updates from the web interface, also give group write permissions to this folder. ↩︎
-
Assuming your server is
http://example.net, this address could behttp://example.net/p/if you didn't follow our previous advice about not exposing the./p/folder. ↩︎
