CommaFeed

Google Reader inspired self-hosted RSS reader

Alternative to: feedly, inoreader, newsblur

CommaFeed is a self-hosted RSS/Atom feed reader inspired by the discontinued Google Reader, built on Quarkus with a React/TypeScript frontend. It offers multiple layout options, light and dark themes, keyboard shortcuts, OPML import/export, a REST API, and a Fever-compatible API for mobile apps. It compiles to native code for fast startup and low memory use, and supports H2, PostgreSQL, MySQL and MariaDB.

CommaFeed Docker Compose example

Self-host CommaFeed on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs CommaFeed in Docker containers using the official athou/commafeed:latest-postgresql, postgres:16-alpine images, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
