It was way back in 2013 that Google decided to shut down Google Reader<\/a>. I had a rich list of RSS feeds<\/a> 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the process of moving to a docker container managed server, I switched to the linuxserver.io tt-rss image<\/a>. Then at one point I went to pull an updated version of the image and discovered it had been deprecated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>, but it seems to be only for development purposes. It didn’t feel like it was something I wanted to make use of.<\/p>\n

As I dug deeper, I came across some dirty laundry<\/a>. 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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There is a small cost to moving readers.\u00a0 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:<\/p>\n
