Deploy CommaFeed in one click installation.
Self-hosted personal RSS reader inspired by Google Reader, with keyboard shortcuts, mobile apps, and a clean three-pane layout.
What you can build with CommaFeed
CommaFeed is a fast, lightweight personal RSS reader explicitly modeled on the original Google Reader UI — three-pane layout, keyboard shortcuts, instant feed marking, OPML import/export, and a focus on speed over feature bloat. It is written in Java/Quarkus, runs as a single self-contained binary, and stores everything in an embedded H2 database, so the entire deployment is one container plus one volume.
Self-hosting CommaFeed on your VPS keeps your subscriptions, read state, and starred articles on infrastructure you control rather than handed to a SaaS feed reader. Native Android and iOS apps connect directly to your instance via the API, OPML lets you migrate freely between feed readers, and the built-in scheduler refreshes feeds in the background without external workers.
Key features of CommaFeed
Google Reader UI
Three-pane layout with feeds list, entry list, and reading view — plus full keyboard shortcuts (j/k/v/m) for fast navigation that long-time RSS users instantly recognize.
OPML import/export
Migrate your subscriptions in and out via standard OPML, so you keep ownership of your reading habits and can switch readers any time.
Native mobile apps
Free Android and iOS companion apps connect to your self-hosted instance via the API for reading on the go without exposing data to a third party.
Embedded H2 database
Single-file H2 database needs no separate database server — back up your reader by copying one folder, restore by putting it back.
Background feed refresh
Built-in scheduler refreshes thousands of feeds in the background with adaptive intervals, no Celery or external workers required.
Push notifications and tags
Tag entries, mark for later, push notifications for high-priority feeds, and full-text search across your archive.

Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
