$ apt install chromium-browser
$ echo >> .env
$ echo 'CHROMIUM_EXECUTABLE_PATH=chromium-browser' >> .env

RSSHub can be configured by setting environment variables.

Create a .env file in the root directory of your project. Add environment-specific variables on new lines in the form of NAME=VALUE. For example:

CACHE_TYPE=redis
CACHE_EXPIRE=600

Please notice that it will not override already existed environment variables, more rules please refer to dotenv

This deployment method does not include Redis dependencies. Use the Docker Compose deployment method or deploy external dependencies yourself if you need it.

Configure built-in Upstash Redis as cache

Run in the RSSHub folder

$ flyctl redis create

to create a new Redis database. Choose the same region as when you created the RSSHub app above, and it is recommended to enable eviction. After creation, a string in the form of redis://default:<password>@<domain>.upstash.io will be printed.

Due to a bug in a dependency, you currently need to append the family=6 parameter to the URL provided by Fly.io, i.e., use redis://default:<password>@<domain>.upstash.io/?family=6 as the connection URL.

Then configure the [env] section in fly.toml or run

$ fly secrets set CACHE_TYPE=redis REDIS_URL='<the connection URL>'

and execute fly deploy (if use the second install method) to trigger a redeployment to complete the configuration.
