Install Fusion RSS Reader Inside Docker Container on Linux

Fusion is a lightweight web-based RSS feed aggregator and reader. It allows users to subscribe to various RSS feeds and aggregate them into a simple interface for reading and managing news or blog updates from multiple sources.

Prepare environment

Make sure you have installed Docker in your system. If you are using Ubuntu, installation instructions can be found in the post.

Install Fusion

• Host network

Run the following command to create a container for Fusion that uses host network:

docker run -d --name=fusion --restart=always --network=host \
    -v /opt/fusion/data:/data \
    -e PASSWORD=pwd123 \
    rook1e404/fusion

• User-defined bridge network

User-defined bridge network can be used for listening on different port. By default, Fusion service is listening on port 8080. It can be changed with -p option.

docker network create app-net

docker run -d --name=fusion --restart=always --network=app-net \
    -p 8081:8080 \
    -v /opt/fusion/data:/data \
    -e PASSWORD=pwd123 \
    rook1e404/fusion

Testing Fusion

Open a web browser and go to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080, where <IP_ADDRESS> is the IP address of the system. Log in using the password provided during container creation.

Uninstall Fusion

To completely remove Fusion, remove its container:

docker rm --force fusion

Remove Fusion image:

docker rmi rook1e404/fusion

You can also remove Fusion data:

sudo rm -rf /opt/fusion

If a user-defined bridge network was created, you can delete it as follows:

docker network rm app-net
