Leselys
I'm Leselys, your very elegant RSS reader. Try me right now (password: demo)!
No bullshit apps for Android, iPhone, etc. Just a responsive design and for every device.
Leselys is Heroku ready.
Installation
Ubuntu
Two requirements: Mongodb and Python.
In order to install leselys you'll need some dependencies:
sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-setuptools sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev sudo easy_install pip sudo easy_install virtualenv
And install your MongoDB.
This is the right way, with virtualenv:
mkdir leselys && cd leselys virtualenv . source bin/activate pip install leselys leselys init leselys.ini leselys serve leselys.ini # In another terminal (in leselys directory) source bin/activate leselys worker leselys.ini
Open your browser at http://localhost:5000.
Docker
Setting up with Docker is easy. There is no published images on the Docker Hub yet but here's how to build a set of images easily and quickly using Docker Compose:
git clone https://github.com/prologic/leselys cd leselys git checkout dockerize docker-compose up -d
With the configuration in docker-compose.yml you can then visit:
http://localhost:5000/ if you're on a native Linux Docker host or http://$(docker-machine ip dev):5000/ if you're on OS X via boot2docker or similar.
Heroku
Advanced setup with MongoDB for storage and Redis for session on Heroku. You will also need the Heroku Scheduler add-on to refresh your feeds.
All Heroku dependencies like Pymongo, gunicorn and redis are in requirements.txt file, so everything will be installed automagically.
git clone git@github.com:socketubs/leselys.git cd leselys heroku create heroku addons:add mongohq:sandbox heroku addons:add redistogo:nano heroku addons:add scheduler:standard heroku addons:open scheduler # Add "sh heroku.sh && leselys refresh heroku.ini" job every 10 minutes # And "sh heroku.sh && leselys retention heroku.ini" job every day git push heroku master
Import your Google Reader OPML file right now!
Update
This is how to update your Leselys (on Heroku):
git pull git push heroku master heroku restart
And for the pip way, you just have to go to your virtualenv and run pip install leselys -U and restart Leselys processes.
Misc
Storage and session backends are Python modules, you can easily write your own. Take a look at the MongoDB storage backend.
Leselys automagically fetch new stories with it's refresher worker, and automagically (again), purge our stories database with it's retention task.
Python 3 support is available, there is just worker with celery which doesn't work correctly. You can schedule the task with refresh and retention commands.
Python 3 is automatically used on Heroku.
