RSS-Bridge

Self-Hosted

Open-source RSS feed generator for sites without native RSS

Overview

RSS-Bridge creates RSS/Atom feeds for websites lacking native feed support, with 200+ supported platforms (Twitter/X, Reddit, YouTube channels, etc.) via custom bridges. It’s lightweight (no database needed) and deployable via Docker, shared hosting, or VPS. Features include content filtering, feed limit settings, multiple output formats (RSS, Atom, JSON), and a web-based config interface. Ideal for aggregating content from non-RSS sites while maintaining data privacy through self-hosting.
