## FreshRSS by cloudimg
FreshRSS is a self-hosted RSS and Atom feed aggregator that lets you follow news sites, blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels and any other source that publishes a feed, and read everything in one fast, clean web interface that you own and control. This Amazon Machine Image delivers FreshRSS fully installed and running behind an nginx web server with php-fpm, so a working feed reader is serving within minutes of launch.
## Application Stack
FreshRSS runs as a PHP application: nginx answers on port 80 and passes requests to php-fpm over a local socket, and FreshRSS reads and writes its content directly on a dedicated data disk. It uses a self-contained SQLite database, so there is no separate database server to install, tune or back up. All of the reader's state - configuration, the feed database, the article and favicon cache and extension data - lives on its own independently resizable data volume kept separate from the operating system disk. systemd starts nginx and php-fpm on boot and restarts them on failure.
## Read Your Feeds
Subscribe to any RSS or Atom feed, organise subscriptions into categories, and read new articles in a list, expanded or reading view with keyboard shortcuts, starring, filtering and full-text search. Import and export your subscriptions as OPML, apply per-feed refresh and retention rules, and use the built-in themes to tune the reading experience.
## Read Anywhere
FreshRSS exposes Google Reader and Fever compatible APIs, so you can read and sync your feeds from popular mobile and desktop reader apps as well as the browser. Anonymous read-only access can be enabled for a public feed dashboard, and multi-user support lets several people keep separate accounts on one instance.
## Secure First Boot
On the first boot of every instance a one shot service generates a fresh administrator password unique to that instance, creates the FreshRSS admin account, and writes the password to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
