I built a tiny-VPS friendly RSS aggregator and reader
Hi, folks. As an RSS user, I tried Inoreader and Feedly, then ended up self-hosting a Miniflux instance on my homelab. A few months ago, I moved to another city and had to shut down my homelab for a long time, so I couldn't access my local miniflux. It was quite inconvenient. I decided to self-host my RSS aggregator on a tiny VPS or PaaS such as fly.io. However, Miniflux requires a PostgreSQL database, which may isn't suitable for a tiny VPS instance. So I built fusion with Golang and SQLite. It contains basic features such as Group, Bookmark, Search, Automatically feeds sniffing,…
In plain words
Fusion is a lightweight RSS aggregator and reader built with Golang and SQLite, designed to run efficiently on small VPS instances and low-resource environments. It offers core RSS features including feed grouping, bookmarks, search functionality, automatic feed detection, and OPML import/export. The application uses minimal memory and CPU, making it suitable for users seeking to self-host their RSS reader on constrained infrastructure without requiring a PostgreSQL database.

So I built fusion with Golang and SQLite. It contains basic features such as Group, Bookmark, Search, Automatically feeds sniffing, Import/Export OPML file, etc. It uses about 80MB of Mem and negligible CPU usage (metrics here: https://imgur.com/a/EJIdevn). Feel free to share your questions and suggestions. BTW, I also built an online tool to sniff RSS links from a URL. (https://rss-finder.rook1e.com/)
