It was way back in 2013 that Google decided to shut down Google Reader. I had a rich list of RSS feeds that I read regularly and didn’t want to lose that experience, so I decided to switch to something I could host myself. At the time TT-RSS fit the bill nicely.
In the process of moving to a docker container managed server, I switched to the linuxserver.io tt-rss image. Then at one point I went to pull an updated version of the image and discovered it had been deprecated.
This resulted in my digging around a little to see what options I had to get a docker version of TT-RSS. I did find that there is a maintained version of a container build, but it seems to be only for development purposes. It didn’t feel like it was something I wanted to make use of.
As I dug deeper, I came across some dirty laundry. This didn’t really give me a good feeling about the TT-RSS project as a whole. Then I came across someone who was quite opinionated about TT-RSS. Well, this is the internet and there are lots of opinions out there. Still, I’d formed my own opinion along the way and decided that TT-RSS is no longer for me.
What next? Well, I decided to make that a completely different post which I’ll get up soon. The nice thing about many of the RSS feed readers, TT-RSS included – is that they support the export/import of your feeds. This makes it easy to switch.
There is a small cost to moving readers. Aside from my read/unread marks in the feeds – I lose the starred articles I’ve collected over time. I had 84. There were 3 main sites I tagged with stars:
It turns out it was easy enough to pull that list down, so I’ll post it here to capture the interesting list.
