# Neko
RSS Reader focused on cat ears mode
*the cat ears are in your mind*
Personal web based RSS reader thing
## Huh?
I decided I didn't like the [old version that was python and mongo](https://github.com/adammathes/neko_v1) so rewrote it. I wanted to learn some Go. So assume the code is bad since I don't know what I'm doing even more so than normal.
The javascript frontend is still the same, I might rewrite that too since it's old backbone.js code.
This is not very easy to use/setup/or anything. Sorry! Consider it WIP.
## Features
* limited features (#1 feature)
* keyboard shortcuts
* **j** - next item
* **k** - previous item
* that's all you should ever need
* automatically marks items read in an infinite stream of neve-rending content (until you run out of content and it ends)
## TODO
* OPML import/export
* feeds.txt import/export
* mark all as read
* proper code comments
## Installation
### [Install golang](https://golang.org)
Go is great! Yay!
### Set up $GOPATH if one doesn't exist already
```
$ mkdir $HOME/go
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/go
```
### Get neko code
```
$ go get github.com/adammathes/neko
```
### Get dependencies
```
$ cd $HOME/go/src/github.com/adammathes/neko
$ make deps
OR
$ go get [each dependency listed in the Makefile you ignored]
```
### Build
```
$ go build cmd/nekoweb
$ go build cmd/nekocrawl
```
This should create "nekoweb" and "nekocrawl" binaries because command line flags are annoying.
### Create MySQL table and user
```
$ msyqladmin -uroot -p create neko
$ mysql -uroot -p neko < init.sql
$ echo "probably a good idea to make a limited privilege user"
$ mysql -uroot -p neko
CREATE USER 'neko'@'localhost' identified by 'password' yourgreatpasswordhere;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON neko.* TO 'neko'@'localhost';
```
### Configuration - copy example configuration and edit as needed
The configuration is JSON which was probably not a good idea. Sorry? It should be straightforward.
```
$ cp config.example config.json
```
### Run web
```
$ ./nekoweb config.json
```
Load URL/port specified in config. Add some feeds! There's an import command that would make this easier but it's wonky (neko addfeed <url>)
### Run Crawler
```
$ ./nekocrawl config.json
```
This should fetch, download, parse, and store in the database your feeds.
### Operationalize
#### Add to cron
Place your binaries and config files some place reasonable and add this to your cron.
```
34 * * * * ~/bin/nekocrawl ~/neko_config.json &> /dev/null
```
#### Daemonize server
Sorry it's 2017 and there are like a bajillion incompatible ways to do this on *nix-alikes and it's ridiculous so I'm probably just going to give up on Linux and use OpenBSD so just run it in tmux or something I guess? I mean, set up an init script with a minimal privileged user. Whatever. UNIX is great, have fun.
