You can watch it at 127.0.0.1:5000\n- `cd SimpleRssServer`\n- `dotnet watch`\n\n### Initial setup on Linux server\n\n1. Install the .NET 10.0 SDK.\n    - `sudo apt-get update \u0026\u0026 sudo apt-get install dotnet-sdk-10.0`\n\n1. Copy the service configuration for the webserver from `./server-config/`, assuming you're in this top folder of this repo.\n    - `sudo cp -i ./server-conf/rssrdr-server.service /etc/systemd/system/rssrdr-server.service`\n\n1. Create the logging folders\n    - `sudo mkdir -p /var/log/rssrdr-server`\n    - `sudo chown rss:1000 /var/log/rssrdr-server`\n\n1. Create the folder for the binaries. This is where the executable for the server is going to be.\n    - `sudo mkdir /var/www/rssrdr`\n    - `sudo chown -R rss:1000 /var/www/rssrdr`\n\n1. After creating the service file, reload the systemctl manager configuration to recognize the new service:\n    - `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`\n\n1. Enable the service to start automatically at boot:\n    - `sudo systemctl enable rssrdr-server.service`\n\n1. Start the service immediately:\n    - `sudo systemctl start rssrdr-server.service`\n\n1. Check if the service is running:\n    - `sudo systemctl status rssrdr-server.service`\n\n1. Check the logs.\n    View the logs (stdout) using:\n        - `sudo tail -f /var/log/rssrdr-server/rssrdr.log`\n\n    View the error logs (stderr) using:\n        - `sudo tail -f /var/log/rssrdr-server/rssrdr.err`\n\n### Deploying\n\nTo deploy, assuming the repo is cloned in `~/rssrdr/` and the setup above is done:\n- `~/rssrdr/deploy.sh`\n\n### Enabling HTTPS\n\n#### Certificates\n\nCertificates are created using https://certbot.eff.org/. Follow the instructions there to generate a certificate.\n\n- Certificat is created with: `certbot --nginx -d rssrdr.com`\n- Certificate is saved at: `/etc/letsencrypt/live/rssrdr.com/fullchain.pem`\n- Key is saved at: `/etc/letsencrypt/live/rssrdr.com/privkey.pem`\n\n#### nginx setup\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e .NET's `HttpClient` doesn't support HTTPS on Linux. Therefore we need nginx as a front end with SSL and the SimpleRssServer as non-SSL. See also this [GitHub discussion](https://github.com/dotnet/WatsonWebserver/discussions/90).\n\nSetup\n\n```\n --Client--             ---------Server--------------\n|          |           |                             |\n| Browser  | --------\u003e | nginx  --\u003e  SimpleRssServer |\n|          |  Request  | :443        :8000           |\n ----------             -----------------------------\n```\n\n1. Install nginx according to the [instructions](http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html)\n2. Copy content of `./server-conf/nginx.conf` to `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`.\n3. Start nginx\n    - `nginx`\n\n### Server paths overview\n\nngnix\n- config: `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`\n- logs: `/var/log/nginx`\n\nrssrdr-server\n- service: `/etc/systemd/system/rssrdr-server.service`\n- logs: `/var/log/rssrdr-server/`\n- source code: `~/rssrdr`\n- binaries: `/var/www/rssrdr`\n\n## Attribution\n\nInspired by [motherfuckingwebsite.com](http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/) and [bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com](http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/).\n\nThis RSS reader was created by me, with a little help from [aider](https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/), ChatGPT and the people of the interwebs.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Froald87%2Frssrdr","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Froald87%2Frssrdr","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Froald87%2Frssrdr/lists"}
