RSS-proxy 2+ allows you to do create an ATOM or JSON feed of almost static/dynamic websites or feeds (web to feed), just by analyzing just the HTML structure. Try the live rss-proxy, keep in mind its still a beta. The prototypical version 1 is also available, but the algorithm had some known issues. The server is completely stateless - it does not store anything - everything is part of the url.
It is a UI for richRSS middleware with the no-database profile.
Since v2 is still beta, this is the quickstart for version 1. If you have docker or podman installed, Start rss-proxy like this.
docker pull damoeb/rss-proxy
docker run -p 3000:3000 -it damoeb/rss-proxy
Then open localhost:3000 in the browser.
Version 2 comes with more complexity so its easier to run it from docker-compose. If you run the proxy behind a reverse proxy, make sure you set the request header "X-Real-IP" (see nginx.con) for IP throttling.
In docker-compose.yml
change APP_PUBLIC_URL
accordingly which is the outfacing public url.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damoeb/rss-proxy/master/chrome.json
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damoeb/rss-proxy/master/docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up
Then open localhost:8080 in the browser.
