rss-filter

A simple application to filter an external RSS feed and return the results through HTTP (as another RSS feed).

Configuration

The configuration file appsettings.json is automatically read from the working directory at the application start. RssFilter has one configuration section, "rss", consisting of the items in the following form:

{
    "name": "some_feed_name_for_using_in_url",
    "url": "https://feed-url",
    "titlefilter": "^a regular expression that feed title should match$"
}

Build

To build the project, first install .NET Core SDK. After that

$ dotnet build

Deployment

To prepare the application for the production environment, run

$ dotnet publish -c Release -o out

This will create an out directory that should be deployed to the production site.

This application supports Docker. To deploy it, tune appsettings.json and then run the script:

$ pwsh docker-compose.ps1

Consult docker-compose.ps1 parameters for additional options.

Usage

Start the application and direct your browser to URL <application>/feed/<feed name>. It will fetch the corresponding feed and filter it with a regular expression.
