Miniflux Cliet to send feed updates over email.
Fork it and use it!
There are plenty of "RSS-over-email" services out there - mailbrew, briefcake or tacodigest as example. This project aims to rebuild essential features of those services, but using git + CI + SMTP. In most cases, these things could be used free of charge and available with open source github/gitlab repo.
- Github repo + CI support
- A Miniflux instance with an account
- SMTP account (I use gmail, but make sure it's not you're main gmail account if you do)
- Fork this repo
- Retrieve miniflux API token
- Configure gmail smtp based on a following guide
- Modify
.github/workflows/daily_run.ymlfile - Add github/action secrets (SMTP_SERVER, SMTP_USERNAME and SMTP_PASSWORD are required)
Every 3 months github will ask if you want to keep running daily actions. Click "yes", if you want to continue receiving updates.
I use this project myself daily, it's not feature complete, but it works stably. I'd encourage leaving your feedback and contributions.
Current plan includes:
- Generalize email configuration, so not only GMAIL could be used.
- Improve email design - add table of contents, improve template
- Introduce PLAIN TEXT emails
- Ability to provide multiple categories
- Ability to not provide any categories at all
- Ability to limit number of RSS updates sent out daily
- make project easier to maintain (simplify, write tests and etc)
