## Configuration
## Usage
Must be done via environment variables, either through a custom app.env file or directly modifying the docker-compose.yml file, as detailed in https://runtipi.io/docs/guides/customize-app-config.
In order to generate a feed, a valid URL with parameters has to be appended to the main domain for your RSSHub instance, varying with each different app. More on the how-to's for each supported service or app can be found on [https://docs.rsshub.app/guide/](https://docs.rsshub.app/guide/), and on [https://docs.rsshub.app/guide/parameters](https://docs.rsshub.app/guide/parameters) for filtering/sorting/limiting your feed in a given URL.
More info related to available configuration envvars for RSSHub can be found on https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config.
## RSSHub Configuration / Adding Accounts
Configuration for your own instance must be done via environment variables, either through uncommenting an envvar in the already made .env file at `{$APP_DATA_DIR}/app-data/data/app.env` or directly modifying the docker-compose.yml file, as detailed in https://runtipi.io/docs/guides/customize-app-config.
More info related to available configuration envvars for RSSHub can be found on [https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config](https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config), however please note that the documentation only contains **some** envvars for configuring a specific app or feature, while a minority of them are poorly-documented or not behaving as according to the official documentation (such as `UA`). In order to get the complete gist of everything, browsing the code at [https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub/blob/master/lib/config.ts](https://github.com/DIYgod/RSSHub/blob/master/lib/config.ts) is necessary besides reading the official docs. The given `app.env` file for this app already lists all available variables considering both sources of information and contains the default values specified there, but the **exact** working of any envvar can only be understood by reading the source-code directly after going through the basics at the docs.
## Access Control
RSSHub provides an access control feature for restricting which user generates a feed within your instance. This can be enabled with the envvar `ACCESS_KEY`, which can be configured either at the installation step through Runtipi's App Store or via the envvars at `docker-compose.yml` or `app.env` for the RSSHub app. Default value is empty (`""`), which means no extra key is required in order to access a feed through the URLs.
Note that `ACCESS_KEY` is enabled **globally**, but access can be controlled granularly on an app-by-app basis by only giving the specific app *access code* to a user, as explained through the diagram found on [https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config#access-control-configurations](https://docs.rsshub.app/deploy/config#access-control-configurations).

* Or using key directly, eg: https://rsshub.app/qdaily/column/59?key=ILoveRSSHub
```
## Why self-hosting instead of using a public instance?
As mentioned before, this app generates a feed for a specific site either using a headless browser or sometimes directly accessing through an API. Some social networks or features, like OpenAI's GPT access requires a valid subscription access token for summarizing posts or other AI-enabled tasks. For social media / content apps that enable some sort of paywall, like X (Twitter), Instagram or Medium, a valid account is necessary in order to generate a feed from "things" happening there.
