What is selfoss?

selfoss is a multipurpose RSS reader and feed aggregation web application written in PHP and released under the GPL-3.0 or later. It gathers feeds and other sources into a single stream, with an extensible plugin system called spouts. It works with SQLite, MySQL or PostgreSQL. Its last stable release dates from 2022.

How to install selfoss on Hostripples: choose a plan, open Softaculous, selfoss is live

Project status: The last stable release listed on the GitHub releases page is 2.19 from October 2022, more than three years ago. The repository is not archived and a 2.20 development snapshot exists, but no newer stable release was found. We list it because it is still available in the Softaculous installer; consider an actively maintained alternative for new projects.

License: GPL-3.0-or-later · Built with: PHP + SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL · Official site: selfoss.aditu.de

Common uses

  • Single-user private feed reader
  • Combining feeds and other sources into one stream
  • Lightweight alternative to larger readers

selfoss requirements

  • PHP: PHP 8.2 or higher per the current documentation (the 2.19 release notes cite an older minimum)
  • Database: MySQL 5.5.3+, PostgreSQL or SQLite
  • PHP extensions php-gd and php-http; curl, mbstring or tidy for some features
  • Cron job or timer to run the feed update (cliupdate.php or the update URL)
  • Apache modules mod_rewrite, mod_headers and mod_authz_core, with .htaccess allowed

selfoss is a PHP application supporting MySQL or SQLite, and it can run on standard cPanel hosting. It needs a scheduled cron task to refresh feeds, and its current documentation asks for PHP 8.2 or higher, so check the release Softaculous installs.

Why host selfoss with Hostripples

  • One-click selfoss install from Softaculous inside cPanel, with no manual upload or database setup
  • All-NVMe storage and LiteSpeed Enterprise with LSCache for quick page loads
  • Selectable PHP versions per site and CloudLinux account isolation with CageFS
  • Free SSL, daily JetBackup backups and Imunify360 malware protection
  • Free migration of an existing selfoss site, and 24×7 support in English

selfoss Hosting: Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know

Its GitHub repository is not archived and has a 2.20 development snapshot, but the last stable release found is 2.19 from October 2022. That is over three years ago, so we describe it as unmaintained on release cadence alone.
Current documentation lists PHP 8.2 or higher with the gd and http extensions, and MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite. Feeds are refreshed by a cron job or timer that runs the update script, so scheduled tasks must be available.
Open Softaculous in cPanel, choose selfoss, enter the domain and admin details, and install. It usually takes a few clicks and needs no manual upload. Afterwards, add a cron job so feeds refresh automatically.
The project documentation states you must schedule a cron job or systemd timer that either calls the update URL or runs the cliupdate.php script. Without it, selfoss will not fetch new items on its own.
Yes. selfoss is open-source software released under the GPL-3.0-or-later license, so there are no software fees — you only pay for your Hostripples hosting plan.
Yes. Every Hostripples cPanel NVMe plan includes the full Softaculous library, so on one account you can run selfoss alongside other apps in its category (RSS), such as Tiny Tiny RSS and FreshRSS, plus hundreds of other applications, subject to your plan's resources. You can add each app on its own domain or subdomain and upgrade to a larger plan at any time.
selfoss is documented as a light application, so the Starter plan is a sensible start for one site; upgrade any time if traffic grows.
Yes. We migrate your site for free with all hosting plans.
