Are there any self hosted news aggregators?

I’ve wanted for a while an app I can run locally that will pull News from a list of websites, then categorize them and compile a newspaper or front page type review

Does this exist?

Just about any RSS feed reader...

I think what I want is RSS plus categorization, like a Google News type app.

RSS alone can be kind of overwhelming.

But maybe I can build this on RSS with ollamma.

I'm sure one of the self-hosted RSS servers can do what you need. Look up TinyRSS, FreshRSS and the like.

TimyRSS looks interesting, noticed they have extension support (freshRSS seems to too) so marine that’s the best route to what I want

Like seperate articles based off of topics automatically?

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking of.

What I’m envisioning is articles group by topic (international, tech, etc.) and something that groups articles on say Ukraine like Google News does.

A lot of RSS is like an email inbox and I want a news feed.

I’m not trying to be overly self-promotional, but rss.ponder.cat + piefed.social’s “feeds” could probably do this very well. I actually really like the combination of having aggregated RSS feeds I can control, along with other people voting on them so particularly interesting stuff from them get surfaced more than other stuff.

Miniflux is quite good. Visually it barely bones but it has great features and works well.

I nextcloud news (RSS) for that sort of thing, you can organise feeds into folders and see an unread list. There is even a mobile app to get whats on the server

Nextcloud News works really well

FreshRSS is good. I've been using it for a while. Easy to install on shared hosting as it's just php

I use FreshRSS since a few years and it's excellent!

You could self-host Lemmy and use RSS to Lemmy services to post to your personal communities.

I'm interested in this, too.

https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS Fresh RSS has most stars in GitHub

It looks like there are already some extensions that do a bit of what I’m looking for

https://github.com/FreshRSS/Extensions

I’ll have to look at the API to see if I can add tagging or something.

Ive been using it for a couple years now. Its solid. Super easy to host via docker or yunohost. It can mass import/export as well.

wise_pancake@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 1y

That looks great

The list of related software they use is also very handy
