# feedreader
Feedreader/rs is a Rust re-implementation of the original [feedreader](https://github.com/mlochen/feedreader) Python implementation.
The database format is almost fully compatible with the original.
Re-using an existing database is possible.
We don't implement 'enclosures', though.
Existing enclosures in the database will be deleted.
# Thanks
Thanks to [Marco Lochen](https://github.com/mlochen) for the idea and for the original Python implementation.
# Building and installing
## Prerequisites
The Rust compiler must be installed to build feedreader.
It is recommended to use the latest version of the stable Rust compiler.
But Rust versions down to and including Rust 1.77 are supported by feedreader.
[Rust installer](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
The Rust installer will install the compiler and the build tool `cargo`.
The build requires the additional `cargo-audit` and `cargo-auditable` tools to be installed.
Run this command to install both tools:
```sh
cargo install cargo-audit cargo-auditable
```
The SQLite3 database has to be installed in your operating system.
If you use Debian Linux, you can use the following command to install SQLite3:
```sh
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
```
## Building feedreader
Run the `build.sh` script to build feedreader.
After installing all build prerequisites, run the build script:
```sh
./build.sh
```
## Installing feedreader
Then run the `install.sh` to install the feedreader to `/opt/feedreader/`:
```sh
./install.sh
```
## -lsqlite3: No such file or directory
If during build you get the following error:
```
= note: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
```
please install the SQLite 3 libraries and development files to your system.
On Debian Linux that is done with:
```sh
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
```
# Configuring web server CGI
The web frontend `feeds` needs to be configured in your web browser as CGI application.
## lighttpd web server
Add the following configuration to `/etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/feedreader.conf`:
```
server.modules += ( "mod_cgi" )
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/cgi-bin/" {
cgi.assign = ( "" => "" )
alias.url += ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/opt/feedreader/lib/cgi-bin/" )
}
```
## Apache web server
Add the following configuration to `/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/feedreader.conf`:
```
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/feeds /opt/feedreader/lib/cgi-bin/feeds
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch -Indexes
Require all granted
```
