Why people self-host Miniflux
Miniflux favors speed, readability, and simple operations. It is ideal for people who want a feed reader that stays out of the way and is easy to keep updated.
The tradeoff is fewer knobs and a deliberately compact interface. Use it when minimalism and reliable article parsing beat heavy customization.
Deployment notes
Miniflux 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.
