What is Miniflux?
Miniflux is a deliberately spare feed reader: it fetches your feeds, shows unread entries, and does very little else. No social features, no recommendations, no algorithm.
It is a single Go binary with Postgres behind it, uses almost no resources, and exposes a Google Reader-compatible API so third-party mobile clients work with it.
What you get
- Keyboard-driven reading with a genuinely fast interface
- Full-content fetching and rewrite rules for truncated feeds
- Google Reader and Fever API compatibility for mobile apps
- Bookmarking, integrations with read-later services, and OPML import/export
Running Miniflux on Autogineer Cloud
Miniflux is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once Miniflux is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like miniflux-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure Miniflux, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for Miniflux means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as Miniflux grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.
Who it suits
People who read a lot of feeds and want a reader that loads instantly and never suggests anything.
Getting started with Miniflux
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for Miniflux. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- Sign in with the credentials your dashboard shows and import an OPML file, or add feeds one at a time. Then connect a mobile reader through the Google Reader API if you read on a phone.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once Miniflux is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back Miniflux and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
Which mobile apps work with it?
Any client that speaks the Google Reader or Fever API, which covers most of the well-known readers on iOS and Android.
Miniflux or FreshRSS?
Miniflux is stricter and more minimal; FreshRSS is more configurable with themes and extensions. Both are tiny — pick by taste.
How long does it take to install Miniflux?
About a minute. Choosing Miniflux at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does Miniflux need?
At least 1 vCPU, 1.5 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with Miniflux?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — miniflux-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
