• search and favorite articles
• detection of inactive feeds
• management of bookmarks (with import from Pinboard)
• optional ldap authentication (see the example configuration file)

#Deployment

Newspipe is really easy to deploy. Assuming you have already installed git, poetry, npm, and Python >= 3.10, you just have to do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/cedricbonhomme/newspipe
$ cd newspipe/
$ npm ci
$ poetry install --no-dev
$ poetry shell
$ pybabel compile -d newspipe/translations
$ export NEWSPIPE_CONFIG=sqlite.py
$ flask db_init
$ flask create_admin --nickname <nickname> --password <password>
$ flask run --debug
 * Debug mode: on

If you want to use PostgreSQL you can customize the provided example configuration file (instance/config.py):

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
$ cp instance/config.py instance/postgresql.py
$ vim instance/postgresql.py # customize it
$ export NEWSPIPE_CONFIG=postgresql.py
$ flask db_create
$ flask db_init
...

For production you can use Gunicorn or mod_wsgi.
