FreshRSS has been my RSS feed aggregator of choice for a couple of years now. I still frequently long for the optimistic heady days when we all loved Google Reader. I used Feedbin for many years and highly recommend it if self-hosting your feed aggregator isn’t for you. Lovely service for sure.

Background

Ever since I set up FreshRSS I’ve been grumbling about how I want SSO. I use Authentik for most of my SSO needs, but these days even that feels overkill. You can use Authentik with FreshRSS but only if you use the FreshRSS Docker container (which has Apache inside of it to do the authentication). This feels extra-heavy for me when FreshRSS is “just” a PHP app.
