RSSHub Hosting

Choose a supported route in the RSSHub guide, replace its required parameters, and use your pod's domain in place of the public rsshub.app domain. Add that complete feed URL to your RSS reader.

Start with a public route that does not require credentials. RSSHub does not provide the reading interface or require you to create a reader account on the pod.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs RSSHub for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server. Your files and database stay accessible if you ever want to move them elsewhere.

Subscribe to the generated feed URL in an RSS reader on your phone, desktop or the web. RSSHub Radar is an optional discovery extension, not the reader itself. Point it at your pod rather than the public demo instance. Your chosen reader or mobile client may have its own charges; it is not included with the pod.

No. Check the route's documentation before relying on it. Some routes need your own account, API key, login cookie or proxy, and those services may charge separately. Chromium is included, but it cannot guarantee access through regional restrictions, rate limits or anti-crawling measures. A source can also change and break a route.

PikaPods exposes common settings as environment variables; additional settings go in the existing .env file through SFTP, followed by a pod restart. Follow the PikaPods RSSHub notes and RSSHub configuration guide. Keep source credentials private and consider RSSHub's access-key protection before exposing feeds containing personal content.

Set up incremental backups to S3 in your pod settings for automatic nightly snapshots, or download your files and database yourself. We keep whole-server backups for server failures, but they aren't a per-pod restore service, so your own backup is what protects your data.

You can use RSSHub instead of RSS.app. PikaPods runs it for you, and you can move your files and database elsewhere.

RSS.app is a hosted service that creates feeds for you. RSSHub relies on a large set of community-maintained routes, with filtering options, and it runs on your pod. Some routes need your own account credentials, and they can stop working when a site changes. Try the sources you care about before relying on them.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.

You do. And you're in full control. If you ever want to download, migrate, edit or delete your data, just enable file and database access for your pod and it will be right there.
