Self-host Miniflux

A deliberately minimalist RSS reader — a single Go binary backed by Postgres, opinionated, fast, and almost maintenance-free.

Key facts

What you need

• Any VPS with at least 256 MB of RAM
• A domain you control — most self-hosted setups need HTTPS in front of them
• Under an hour if you've used Docker before

Install with Docker Compose

Save this as compose.yml and run docker compose up -d:

copy# Miniflux + Postgres
services:
  miniflux:
    image: miniflux/miniflux:latest
    ports: ["8080:8080"]
    environment:
      DATABASE_URL: postgres://miniflux:secret@db/miniflux?sslmode=disable
      RUN_MIGRATIONS: 1
  db: { image: postgres:16 }
# docker compose up -d  →  http://SERVER_IP:8080
