Why people self-host FreshRSS

FreshRSS is a dependable web feed reader with multi-user support, extensions, and integrations for mobile clients. It is a good fit for readers who want a private feed archive with low maintenance.

The tradeoff is that extension quality and feed cleanup vary. Tune cron frequency, retention, and full-text fetching to match server capacity.

Deployment notes

FreshRSS is listed with support signals for linux, docker. Check the upstream documentation before exposing it to the internet, review authentication defaults, and keep backups outside the primary host.
