RSS-Bridge Hosting Live In 5 Minutes

RSS-Bridge hosting on xCloud lets you deploy RSS-Bridge, a PHP web service that generates RSS and Atom feeds for websites that do not publish their own, on your own domain. xCloud runs the pinned vendor image, turns on HTTP Basic authentication with a generated password, keeps its configuration on a persistent volume and publishes it over HTTPS, so your feed reader pulls from a server you control.

What is RSS-Bridge?

RSS-Bridge is a PHP web application that generates feeds for websites that do not offer one. Upstream cites hundreds of bridges, including YouTube, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok, Mastodon and XPath or CSS-selector scrapers, with output as Atom, Html, Json, Mrss, Plaintext or Sfeed. Admins choose which bridges are enabled, and a cache reduces traffic to the source sites. A self-hosted RSS-Bridge generates those feeds from your own server. It is released under the Unlicense, a public-domain dedication.

On xCloud it is RSS-Bridge 2025-08-05, the upstream image pinned by digest, as one nginx and PHP-FPM container. The rss_bridge_config volume holds config.ini.php and any custom bridge or whitelist files, while the feed cache lives inside the container. xCloud enables HTTP Basic authentication with your username and a generated password, so feed readers must send the same credentials.

From Sign-Up to a Live RSS Feed In Just 3 Easy Steps

Self-hosting RSS-Bridge normally means a container, generated credentials, a domain and a certificate before a single feed exists. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick RSS-Bridge from the OneClick catalog. Enter the site title, domain details and administrator username.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the vendor-maintained RSS-Bridge 2025-08-05 image pinned by immutable digest, generate the administrator password, mount the rss_bridge_config volume, and publish it over HTTPS on your domain protected by HTTP Basic authentication.

  3. Step 03

    Sign In And Generate A Feed

    Open your HTTPS URL and sign in with the credentials shown in your xCloud credential panel. Select a bridge, provide its public source parameters, and choose an output format such as Atom or HTML.

Everything RSS-Bridge Does, On Your Own Server

RSS-Bridge runs in full here — the same feed-generation coverage as any hosted bridge instance, on infrastructure you control.

  • Hundreds Of Maintained Bridges

    Generate feeds for sites that never shipped one, using bridge integrations the project keeps current as target sites change.

  • RSS And Atom Output

    Pick the output format your reader expects — Atom, RSS or an HTML preview of the same content.

  • Protected Access

    The interface and every generated feed sit behind installation-specific HTTP Basic credentials, not left open to anyone with the URL.

  • Read In Any Client

    Point any RSS or Atom reader at the generated feed URL — RSS-Bridge is the source, not a walled-garden reader of its own.

  • Your Feeds, Your Server

    Bridge configuration and cache data stay on a server you control instead of a shared public instance.

  • Configuration On One Volume

    Authentication settings and any custom bridge or whitelist files live on rss_bridge_config, which survives a restart; the feed cache stays inside the container.

Everything You Need To Run Your Feed Generation 24/7

Managed hosting for RSS-Bridge, so the parts that keep it online are not your problem.

  • RSS-Bridge 2025-08-05 deployed instantly
  • Vendor-maintained pinned image digest
  • Administrator password generated for you
  • HTTP Basic authentication on the interface
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • 30+ server locations
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With RSS-Bridge

  • Follow a site that has no feed

    Pick a bridge, fill in the public source details and copy the generated Atom or RSS URL into your feed reader, so a site without a feed shows up beside your others.

  • Turn a social account into a feed

    Use bridges for services such as YouTube, Reddit, Telegram or Mastodon to read their public updates in your own reader, without opening each app.

  • Scrape a page with XPath or CSS selectors

    Point a selector-based bridge at a page and choose which parts become feed items, so a changelog or price page produces a feed of its own.

  • Keep the feed URLs private

    Protect the interface and every generated feed with Basic authentication, so only your feed reader and your household can use your server's capacity.

RSS-Bridge vs Alternatives

Hosted feed generator services
RSS-Bridge generates the same kind of feeds from your own server, with a bridge whitelist you control, Basic authentication in front and the feed cache kept on that server.
RSSHub
RSSHub has its own OneClick page. In an RSS-Bridge vs RSSHub comparison, RSS-Bridge is a PHP application with hundreds of bridges, selectable output formats and a token or Basic Auth lock.
RSS Box
RSS Box has its own OneClick page. RSS-Bridge covers many sites through bridges you pick from a web interface, with a cache that reduces traffic to the source sites.
Miniflux
Miniflux has its own OneClick page. It is a feed reader, so it can subscribe to the feeds that RSS-Bridge generates; send the same Basic-auth credentials from the reader.

Hear what people are saying about us

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!
Brian Geovanny
I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.
Kevin Pineda
I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed Ellingham
xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.
Massimo Villa
Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin Heinrichs
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

Came from runcloud. Tried xcloud and never came back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

How much RAM does RSS-Bridge need?

The template floor is 512 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 3 GB of disk, for one small PHP container. The 6 GB plan is far above that, and the on-disk feed cache lives inside the container rather than the configuration volume.

Can you self-host RSS-Bridge with Docker?

Yes, and this template is rss-bridge docker hosting without the setup: the vendor image pinned by digest, one rss_bridge_config volume, Basic authentication written at startup from your install values and HTTPS on your own domain.

Which websites does RSS-Bridge support?

Upstream cites hundreds of bridges, with examples such as YouTube, Reddit, Telegram, TikTok, Mastodon and XPath or CSS-selector scrapers. Some sites use bot protection or need their own API credentials, so start with a public bridge.

Which feed formats does RSS-Bridge output?

Upstream lists Atom, Html, Json, Mrss, Plaintext and Sfeed. You choose the format on the bridge page, then copy the generated URL into your reader. The reader must send the same Basic-auth credentials.

Is my RSS-Bridge instance password protected?

Yes. The template enables HTTP Basic authentication for the interface and every generated feed, with your username and a generated password. To rotate the password, update ADMIN_PASSWORD in the Environment editor and redeploy.

Is RSS-Bridge an alternative to hosted feed generator services?

Yes for generating feeds from sites that lack them. Upstream describes a self-hosted PHP service with a bridge whitelist and access control, and you take on bridge updates, server capacity and any blocks from the sites you follow.

Is RSS-Bridge free?

Yes. RSS-Bridge is released under the Unlicense, which places the code in the public domain; bundled libraries use the MIT licence. You pay only for the Cloud VPS, so this RSS-Bridge cloud install is yours alone.

How do I back up RSS-Bridge?

Back up the whole rss_bridge_config volume, which holds config.ini.php, the authentication settings and any custom bridge or whitelist files. The cache inside the container is safe to lose on redeploy.

How do I upgrade RSS-Bridge?

RSS-Bridge stays on its pinned 2025-08-05 image until a newer template version is adopted. Copy the config volume beforehand and check the release notes. Nothing changes by itself, and redeploying keeps the volume.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no lock-in — cancel any time. Hosting is billed monthly and charged for what you actually use, so when you delete the server the unused balance is refunded to your account, less up to 10% in payment-processing fees.
