# Blogwatcher
|
||||
|
||||
Track blog and RSS/Atom feed updates with the `blogwatcher-cli` tool. Supports automatic feed discovery, HTML scraping fallback, OPML import, and read/unread article management.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
Pick one method:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Go:** `go install github.com/JulienTant/blogwatcher-cli/cmd/blogwatcher-cli@latest`
|
||||
- **Docker:** `docker run --rm -v blogwatcher-cli:/data ghcr.io/julientant/blogwatcher-cli`
|
||||
- **Binary (Linux amd64):** `curl -sL https://github.com/JulienTant/blogwatcher-cli/releases/latest/download/blogwatcher-cli_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xz -C /usr/local/bin blogwatcher-cli`
|
||||
- **Binary (Linux arm64):** `curl -sL https://github.com/JulienTant/blogwatcher-cli/releases/latest/download/blogwatcher-cli_linux_arm64.tar.gz | tar xz -C /usr/local/bin blogwatcher-cli`
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
All releases: https://github.com/JulienTant/blogwatcher-cli/releases
|
||||
|
||||
### Docker with persistent storage
|
||||
|
||||
By default the database lives at `~/.blogwatcher-cli/blogwatcher-cli.db`. In Docker this is lost on container restart. Use `BLOGWATCHER_DB` or a volume mount to persist it:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Named volume (simplest)
|
||||
docker run --rm -v blogwatcher-cli:/data -e BLOGWATCHER_DB=/data/blogwatcher-cli.db ghcr.io/julientant/blogwatcher-cli scan
|
||||
|
||||
# Host bind mount
|
||||
docker run --rm -v /path/on/host:/data -e BLOGWATCHER_DB=/data/blogwatcher-cli.db ghcr.io/julientant/blogwatcher-cli scan
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Migrating from the original blogwatcher
|
||||
|
||||
If upgrading from `Hyaxia/blogwatcher`, move your database:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
mv ~/.blogwatcher/blogwatcher.db ~/.blogwatcher-cli/blogwatcher-cli.db
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The binary name changed from `blogwatcher` to `blogwatcher-cli`.
|
||||
|
||||

## Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Auto-discovers RSS/Atom feeds from blog homepages when no `--feed-url` is provided.
|
||||
- Falls back to HTML scraping if RSS fails and `--scrape-selector` is configured.
|
||||
- Categories from RSS/Atom feeds are stored and can be used to filter articles.
|
||||
- Import blogs in bulk from OPML files exported by Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, etc.
|
||||
- Database stored at `~/.blogwatcher-cli/blogwatcher-cli.db` by default (override with `--db` or `BLOGWATCHER_DB`).
|
||||
- Use `blogwatcher-cli <command> --help` to discover all flags and options.
