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 [email protected]: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.
