Feed2toot automatically parses rss feeds, identifies new posts and posts them on the Mastodon social network.

Supported Architectures

We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.

Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/feed2toot:latest 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 Available Tag
x86-64 amd64-<version tag>
arm64 arm64v8-<version tag>
armhf

Application Setup

Run docker run --rm -it -w /config -v /path/to/data:/config -e PUID=1000 -e PGID=1000 lscr.io/linuxserver/feed2toot /usr/bin/register_feed2toot_app to generate credential files (be sure to set the correct volume path and PUID/PGID values).

Edit the feed2toot.ini in /config to configure your instance name and RSS feeds.

See the feed2toot docs for more information.

Usage

To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  feed2toot:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/feed2toot:latest
    container_name: feed2toot
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Etc/UTC
      - FEED_LIMIT=5 #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/data:/config
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli (click here for more info)

docker run -d \
  --name=feed2toot \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Etc/UTC \
  -e FEED_LIMIT=5 `#optional` \
  -v /path/to/data:/config \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  lscr.io/linuxserver/feed2toot:latest

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

Environment Variables (-e)

Env Function
PUID=1000 for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000 for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Etc/UTC specify a timezone to use, see this list.
FEED_LIMIT=5 Limit number of RSS entries published at each execution.

Volume Mappings (-v)

Volume Function
/config Local path for feed2toot config files.

Miscellaneous Options

Parameter Function

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

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)

Docker Mods

We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.

Support Info

  • Shell access whilst the container is running:
