In this post, you are going to be learning about another repository RSS Reader On GoLang(YARR).
YARR (yet another RSS reader) is a web-based feed aggregator which can be used both as a desktop application and a personal self-hosted server.
It is written in Go with the frontend in Vue.js. The storage is backed by SQLite.
usage:
The latest prebuilt binaries for Linux/macOS/Windows are available here.
macos:
Download yarr-*-macos64.zip, unzip it, place yarr.app in /Applications folder.
The binaries are not signed, because the author doesn’t want to buy a certificate. Apple hates cheapskate developers, therefore the OS will refuse to run the application. To bypass these measures, you can run the command:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/yarr.app
windows:
Download yarr-*-windows32.zip, unzip it, place wherever you’d like to (C:\Program Files or Recycle Bin). Create a shortcut manually if you’d like to.
Microsoft doesn’t like cheapskate developers too, but might only gently warn you about that, which you can safely ignore.
linux:
The Linux version doesn’t come with desktop environment integration. For easy access on DE it is recommended to create a desktop menu entry by following the steps below:
unzip -x yarr*.zip sudo mv yarr /usr/local/bin/yarr sudo nano /usr/local/share/applications/yarr.desktop
and pasting the content:
[Desktop Entry] Name=yarr Exec=/usr/local/bin/yarr -open Icon=rss Type=Application Categories=Internet;
For self-hosting, see yarr -h for auth, tls & server configuration flags.
build
Install Go >= 1.16 and gcc. Get the source code:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/nkanaev/yarr.git
Then run one of the corresponding commands:
# create an executable for the host os make build_macos # -> _output/macos/yarr.app make build_linux # -> _output/linux/yarr make build_windows # -> _output/windows/yarr.exe # ... or start a dev server locally make serve # starts a server at http://localhost:7070 # ... or build a docker image docker build -t yarr .
