DFeed

DFeed is a multi-protocol news aggregator and forum system:

• NNTP client
• Mailing list archive
• Web-based forum interface
• ATOM feed aggregator
• IRC bot

Demo Instance

A demo instance is available here: https://dfeed-demo.cy.md/

Directory Structure

• src/ - Application source code
• site-defaults/ - Default configuration and web templates (tracked in repo)
• site/ - Site-specific overrides (gitignored, your customizations go here)

Files in site/ override files in site-defaults/. This allows you to customize your installation without modifying tracked files.

Quick Start

git clone --recursive https://github.com/CyberShadow/DFeed.git
cd DFeed

Building with Dub (executable only)

dub build

Building with Nix (executable and minified resources)

nix build .

Configuration

Create your site-specific configuration in site/:

mkdir -p site/config/sources/nntp
cp site-defaults/config/site.ini.sample site/config/site.ini
# Edit site/config/site.ini with your settings

# Add an NNTP source:
echo "host = your.nntp.server" > site/config/sources/nntp/myserver.ini

# Configure web interface:
echo "listen.port = 80" > site/config/web.ini

Running

./dfeed

On first start, DFeed downloads messages from configured NNTP servers. Access the web interface at http://localhost:8080/.
