## ⭐ Features
- Customizable dock-based dashboard
- Support for Atom and RSS feeds
- Four feed layouts: condensed, list, detailed, tiles
- Tabbed multi-feeds
- Import/Export settings and feeds
- Filter feed items
## 💻 Installation
This is a self-hosted solution with a provided Docker image for easy installation.
### Requirements
- Reverse proxy (nginx recommended)
- Redis
### Docker
To start quickly, run the Docker image, which starts the API server. The static web app is available
under the volume `/client`. For production, you need to serve the static files using [a
webserver](#nginx).
```bash
$ docker run \
-e REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6380 \
-p 127.0.0.1:3000:3000 \
-v ./path/to/client:/client \
newsdash/newsdash
```
#### Redis
To persist settings and feeds, provide a Redis instance. You can start a [Redis](http://redis.io)
container and link it to newsdash. [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) is ideal for
small setups. Use the `REDIS_URL` environment variable to customize the connection URL.
#### nginx
For production deployment, use a reverse proxy like [nginx](https://nginx.org/) for:
- Static file serving
- Image caching
- Basic authentication
- Gzip compression
- TLS termination
```nginx
# Sample nginx configuration as starting point
http {
# ...
# Cache for newsdash images (highly recommended)
