Docker Pulls Docker Stars Build Status

Tt-rss is an open source web-based news feed RSS/Atom reader and aggregator, designed to allow you to read news from any location, while feeling as close to a real desktop application as possible.

Supported Architectures

Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling linuxserver/tt-rss should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.

The architectures supported by this image are:

Architecture Tag
x86-64 amd64-latest
arm64 arm64v8-latest
armhf arm32v6-latest

Usage

Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.

docker

docker create \
  --name=tt-rss \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/London \
  -p 80:80 \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  linuxserver/tt-rss

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2"
services:
  tt-rss:
    image: linuxserver/tt-rss
    container_name: tt-rss
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/London
    volumes:
      - <path to data>:/config
    ports:
      - 80:80
    restart: unless-stopped

Parameters

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime such as those above. These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Ports `-p`

Parameter Function
80 WebUI

Environment Variables `-e`

Env Function
PUID=1000 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000 for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Europe/London Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.

Volume Mappings `-v`

Volume Function
/config Where tt-rss should store it's config files and data.

User / Group Identifiers

When using volumes `-v` flags, permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.

Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

You must create a user and database for tt-rss to use in a mysql/mariadb or postgresql server. A basic nginx configuration file can be found in /config/nginx/site-confs , edit the file to enable ssl port 443 by default, set servername etc.. Self-signed keys are generated the first time you run the container and can be found in /config/keys , if needed, you can replace them with your own.

The default username and password after initial configuration is admin/password

Power users

The container can configure itself using environment variables, the gaurd for this logic to run is if the variable DB_TYPE is set. The most common variables to set are a URL for the application and a database endpoint. IE:

  • -e DB_TYPE=mysql
  • -e DB_HOST=host
  • -e DB_USER=user
  • -e DB_NAME=name
  • -e DB_PASS=password
  • -e DB_PORT=3306
  • -e SELF_URL_PATH=http://localhost/

Please note if you use this method you need to have an already initialized database endpoint. We do our best to ensure that anything in the config.php can be set via these environment variables.

Support Info

  • Shell access whilst the container is running:
    • docker exec -it tt-rss /bin/bash
  • To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
    • docker logs -f tt-rss
  • Container version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' tt-rss
  • Image version number
    • docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/tt-rss
