Frequently Asked Questions

? Is RSSHub hard to install?

RSSHub is relatively easy to install using Docker (one-command setup) or manual Node.js installation. Docker simplifies the process for most users, though basic server and container knowledge is helpful. Detailed documentation guides you through both methods.

? Is it a good alternative to Feedly?

RSSHub complements Feedly rather than replacing it. Feedly is an RSS reader, while RSSHub generates feeds for sites Feedly can’t access. For users wanting to curate non-RSS content privately, RSSHub pairs perfectly with Feedly or self-hosted readers like FreshRSS.

? Is it completely free?

Yes! RSSHub is 100% free and open-source under the MIT License. There are no subscription fees—you only cover server costs if you self-host it.
