Overview

FreshRSS is a self hosted RSS and Atom feed reader that collects, organises, and syncs articles from across the web. It is paired here with RSS-Bridge, a companion that generates feeds for sites that do not publish one, so you can follow almost any source in a single place.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships FreshRSS and RSS-Bridge hardened and fully patched on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, preconfigured so the reader is available on first boot. RSS-Bridge is bound to loopback only so it can never be abused as an open proxy, a unique administrator credential is generated on first boot with no default login, and 24/7 support backs the image.

Common uses

  • Self hosted news reading
  • Following sites without native feeds
  • Team content monitoring
