What it is

Miniflux is a minimalist, self-hosted feed reader written in Go that aggregates Atom, RSS, and JSON feeds into a unified web interface. It specializes in privacy-first content consumption—stripping trackers, proxying media, sanitizing HTML, and enforcing strict Content Security Policies—while providing full-text search via PostgreSQL and multiple third-party integration APIs (Fever, Google Reader clone). Monolithic Go application structured by domain: internal/api/ contains REST endpoint handlers (feed, entry, user, OPML management); internal/cli/ wraps daemon/admin tasks (refresh scheduling, password reset, health checks); internal/database/ abstracts PostgreSQL migrations and…

Start here

• internal/api/api.go: Main REST API router and request dispatcher; all endpoint registration happens here
• internal/api/middleware.go: Authentication, authorization, and request validation middleware that protects all API endpoints
• internal/database/migrations.go: PostgreSQL schema evolution; any database change must be recorded here
• internal/config/parser.go: Environment variable parsing and validation; controls all application behavior without code changes
• internal/cli/daemon.go: Daemon startup and lifecycle management; entry point for server initialization

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/miniflux/v2.git && cd v2. No package.json detected; Go is the primary language. Verify a go.mod exists in the root (not shown in file list), then run go build or `m…

Daily commands:

Build command likely: make build or go build ./cmd/miniflux (exact entry point not shown). Run: ./miniflux (or compiled binary). Must set database connection via environment variables (DATABASE_URL or individual P…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• PostgreSQL required: Full-text search is hardcoded to PostgreSQL (seen in internal/database/postgresql.go); no SQLite fallback evident. Environment-driven config only: No CLI flags for database URL or secret…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
