Installation and Updates

Installation

From the archive:

  1. You must have a web server with PHP installed (version 5.3.3 minimum) with the Sqlite and XML extensions
  2. Download the source code and copy the directory miniflux where you want
  3. Check if the directory data is writeable (Miniflux stores everything inside a Sqlite database)
  4. With your browser go to http://yourpersonalserver/miniflux
  5. The default login and password is admin/admin
  6. Start to use the software
  7. Don't forget to change your password!

From the repository:

  1. git clone https://github.com/fguillot/miniflux.git
  2. Go to the third step just above

Update

From the archive:

  1. Close your session (logout)
  2. Rename your actual miniflux directory (to keep a backup)
  3. Uncompress the new archive and copy your database file db.sqlite in the directory data
  4. Make the directory data writeable by the web server user
  5. Login and check if everything is ok
  6. Remove the old miniflux directory

From the repository:

  1. Close your session (logout)
  2. git pull
  3. Login and check if everything is ok

Security

  • Don't forget to change the default user/password
  • Don't allow everybody to access to the directory data from the URL. There is already a .htaccess for Apache but nothing for Nginx.
