Self-Hosted

Open-source self-hosted RSS/Atom feed aggregator

Overview

JARR is an open-source self-hosted RSS/Atom feed reader focused on privacy and user control. It lets you aggregate feeds from blogs, news sites, and podcasts, organize them into categories, mark favorites, and search through archived content. Optional collaborative features allow sharing feeds with teams or friends. Deploy easily via Docker (with pre-built containers) or manual setup using Python/PostgreSQL, ensuring your reading data stays on your own server.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is JARR hard to install?

JARR is easy to deploy with Docker (pre-built containers simplify setup). Manual installation requires basic Python/PostgreSQL skills, but official docs provide step-by-step guides for both methods.

? Is it a good alternative to Feedly?

Yes—JARR offers core feed features (aggregation, organization) with full data privacy (self-hosted) unlike Feedly’s cloud model. It lacks Feedly’s AI summaries but prioritizes control over your reading data.

? Is it completely free?

JARR is 100% free and open-source (AGPLv3 license). You only incur costs for your server/VPS if you choose to self-host; there are no hidden fees or premium tiers.
