Tiny Tiny RSS

Upgrade

Updating to a major TT-RSS version requires a database migration. This happens for example when you upgrade from Debian 10 (TT-RSS 18) to Debian 11 (TT-RSS 21)

make a backup of the database

update TT-RSS

sudo -u www-data -- /usr/bin/php /usr/share/tt-rss/www/update.php --update-schema=force-yes

Torification

TT-RSS can download all feeds through TOR.

Some websites actively block TOR exit node addresses. In this case you will need to configure an RSS bridge/proxy which can be simply a script that downloads the RSS XML file through clearnet. This file must then be served on a system that is accessible to your TT-RSS instance.

install TOR and Privoxy
```
apt-get install tor privoxy
```
Check that TOR is running
```
systemctl status tor@default.service
```
configure Privoxy. Add this content to the configuration file
/etc/privoxy/config
```
1forward-socks5t    /   127.0.0.1:9050   .
2listen-address    127.0.0.1:8123

4# [ ... ]
```
Nota

You can add more forwarding rules to ignore routing the traffic through TOR for specific domains. Have a look at the /etc/privoxy/config file provided by the package which is well documented.

append the following at the end of TT-RSS's configuration file

/etc/tt-rss/config.php

    // [ ... ]

    define('HTTP_PROXY', '127.0.0.1:8123');
    define('_HTTP_PROXY', '127.0.0.1:8123');
    define('_CURL_HTTP_PROXY', '127.0.0.1:8123');
    define('SELF_USER_AGENT', 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0');

These variables should cover recent TT-RSS versions.

restart the services

systemctl restart tt-rss privoxy ${webserver}
