That includes YouTube channels, Telegram channels, Reddit, Mastodon, Bandcamp, plus generic CSS-selector and XPath bridges for any page. It ships 400+ bridges. ## About Hosting RSS-Bridge This template runs the official `rssbridge/rss-bridge` image, which is nginx plus PHP-FPM, as a single service. There is no database: feeds are cached on local disk and rebuilt on demand, so the service needs no volume and stays on the smallest instance size. By default the instance is **private**. A random access token is generated at deploy time, and every request must carry `&token=`. Feed readers handle this because the token is part of the feed URL. To run a public instance, clear `RSSBRIDGE_authentication_token`. ## Common Use Cases - Follow YouTube, Telegram or Reddit in a normal feed reader, with no account or algorithm. - Turn any page into a feed with the CSS Selector or XPath bridge. - Feed a self-hosted reader (Miniflux, FreshRSS, Nextcloud News) or an automation tool (n8n). ## Dependencies for RSS-Bridge Hosting - None. One container. ### Deployment Dependencies - Upstream: - Configuration reference: ### Implementation Details All configuration is set through environment variables named `RSSBRIDGE_
_`, which map to `config.ini.php`: | Variable | Default | Purpose | | ---------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------------- | | `RSSBRIDGE_authentication_token` | random 32 chars | Access token; clear it to go public | | `RSSBRIDGE_system_enabled_bridges` | `*` | Comma-separated whitelist, or `*` for all | | `RSSBRIDGE_system_timezone` | `UTC` | Timestamps in feeds | | `RSSBRIDGE_cache_type` | `file` | `file`, `sqlite`, `memcached` or `null` | | `RSSBRIDGE_error_output` | `feed` | Show bridge errors in the feed, HTTP or not | First use: open the public URL, enter the token, pick a bridge, then copy the generated feed URL (it includes the token) into your reader. Health: `/` and `/?action=health` return 401 without the token, so Railway's healthcheck probes `/UNLICENSE`, a static file nginx serves directly. CI checks `/?action=health&token=…`. ## Why Deploy RSS-Bridge on Railway? Railway is a single platform for deploying your whole stack: servers, databases, AI agents and more.
