tulir/lwnfeed

A full-text RSS feed generator for LWN.net

lwnfeed

lwnfeed is a simple daemon that creates a full-text RSS feed from lwn.net by scraping the content from the website.

You must have a LWN subscription to use this tool. It is intended for personal use only, please do not publish the generated feeds.

Getting started

0. Install Go 1.13 or higher.
1. Clone the repository (git clone https://github.com/tulir/lwnfeed.git) and enter the directory (cd lwnfeed).
2. Build the program (./build.sh).
3. Use ./lwnfeed login to log in and store the auth cookie into a file.
4. Start the server with ./lwnfeed start.
5. Open http://localhost:8080/feed.rss to view the feed. feed.atom and feed.json also work.

Docker

1. Run docker run --rm -itv $(pwd):/data dock.mau.dev/tulir/lwnfeed login to log in and store the auth cookie into a file.
2. Start the container normally with your preferred method (see examples below), keeping the same bind mount as before.
