Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Subscribing to an RSS feed really is nothing more than telling your RSS client about the URL to that RSS XML file. The RSS client then regularily checks the URL for changes.
If your site is hand-made as you say, you would have to manually create and update the RSS file also. This is quite a nuisance, not only because it is XML, but also because every feed entry needs its own unique UUID, which you need to create. Perhaps you could create a script that does it for you. Static site generators are usually able to automatically create an RSS feed for you.
I use Hugo for static site generation and it makes the RSS stuff for me.
Can I do the UUID generation with the
uuidgen
command? Also, I'm learning python and bash, so perhaps I could do something with cron(? I guess what I need is some sort of template or examples so I can get startedThe whole point is learning cool stuff :D
Yes, using
uuidgen
should work fine.
