What is Upvote RSS?

Upvote RSS generates rich RSS feeds for popular posts from social aggregation websites and git forges: Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy, Lobsters, PieFed, Mbin and GitHub. A self-hosted Upvote RSS adds configurable filtering to dial in the right number of posts per day in your feed reader, with a score threshold per feed, optional article content, top comments and AI summaries, instead of relying on a site's own feed. It is MIT licensed.

On xCloud the install runs Upvote RSS v1.8.1 from the official image, pinned by digest, as one container with no database. The upvote_rss_cache volume holds a rebuildable filesystem cache of API responses, parsed pages, summaries and resized images. There are no accounts, so the instance is public by design, and Reddit and AI keys are optional and off by default.

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

Self-hosting Upvote RSS normally means a container, a cache volume, a domain and a certificate before the first feed. This is the same result without assembling any of it.

  1. Step 01

    Sign Up

    Create your xCloud account and pick Upvote RSS from the OneClick catalog. Choose your domain and target server — there are no extra fields to fill in and no credentials to generate.

  2. Step 02

    We Deploy It For You

    One click. We bring up the official Upvote RSS image as a single container, pinned by immutable digest, mount the upvote_rss_cache volume and publish it over HTTPS on your domain. It is usually ready within about 30 seconds.

  3. Step 03

    Copy Your First Feed URL

    Open your HTTPS Upvote RSS URL, pick a platform, a community and a minimum score, preview the posts, then copy the generated feed URL into your feed reader.

Everything Upvote RSS Does, On Your Own Server

Upvote RSS runs in full here: a feed generator on your own domain, with a cache that survives restarts.

  • Score-Based Filtering

    Filter by score, by a threshold against the past month's average, or by a target number of posts per day, so a feed reader gets the number of posts you expect.

  • Seven Platforms, One Generator

    Build feeds for subreddits, Hacker News, Lemmy communities, Lobsters, PieFed communities, Mbin magazines and GitHub.

  • Plain RSS For Any Reader

    Open the site, copy the generated URL and paste it into the feed reader you already use, with a preview of the posts first.

  • Article Content And Comments

    Optionally include parsed article content, featured images, estimated reading time, the post score and the top comments in each item.

  • Optional AI Summaries

    Add a provider key such as Ollama, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, Mistral or DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible provider, to put a short summary above the content.

  • Persistent Cache

    API responses, parsed pages, AI summaries and resized images are kept on the upvote_rss_cache volume, which survives an xCloud Restart.

Everything You Need To Run Your Feed Generator 24/7

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

  • Upvote RSS v1.8.1 deployed instantly
  • Official image pinned by digest
  • Persistent cache volume
  • Kept behind xCloud nginx
  • Free SSL certificate
  • Server backups and snapshots
  • Server security updates included
  • Choose your server region
  • Unused balance refunded

What You Can Do With Upvote RSS

  • Turn a busy community into a short feed

    Set a minimum score or a posts-per-day target per feed, so a busy subreddit or Lemmy community reaches your reader as a short list.

  • Use one tool for many platforms

    Use the same generator for Reddit, Lemmy, PieFed, Mbin, Hacker News, Lobsters and GitHub instead of a different tool for each.

  • Read a post and its best replies in the reader

    Turn on article content, the post score and the top comments to read a post and its best replies without leaving the reader.

  • Add short summaries

    Add your own AI provider key and each item can carry a short summary, with the cost and the provider under your control.

Upvote RSS vs Alternatives

A site's own RSS feed
Many sites publish their own feeds. Upvote RSS adds a minimum-score, threshold or posts-per-day filter on top of the same communities, plus optional article content and comments.
RSS-Bridge
In an Upvote RSS vs RSS-Bridge comparison, RSS-Bridge has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes feeds for sites that refuse to publish one, using hundreds of maintained bridges.
RSSHub
RSSHub has its own OneClick page. Its catalogue entry describes RSS feeds for websites that do not provide them, protected by a private access key, where Upvote RSS is built around score filters.
FreshRSS
FreshRSS has its own OneClick page. It is a feed reader and aggregator, so you would paste an Upvote RSS feed URL into it rather than choose between the two.

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

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

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Can you self-host Upvote RSS with Docker?

Yes, and this template is Upvote RSS Docker hosting without the setup. Upstream is a container-based app; here xCloud runs the pinned ghcr.io v1.8.1 image as one container, mounts the cache volume and publishes HTTPS on your domain.

How much RAM does Upvote RSS need?

The template asks for 256 MB of RAM, 1 CPU core and 1 GB of disk as a floor, and QA measured about 91 MiB idle. The 6 GB plan is the entry rung here, which is far more than a feed generator normally needs.

Do I need an account to use Upvote RSS?

No. There is no login and no setup step: open your domain, pick a platform, a community and a minimum score, and copy the generated feed URL into your feed reader. Anyone who can reach the address can do the same.

Is my Upvote RSS instance public?

Yes, by design. The instance only generates read-only feeds and stores no user data, and your feed reader must be able to reach the feed URLs without signing in. For a private one, use a private domain or Basic Auth at the access layer.

Does Upvote RSS need Reddit or AI keys?

No. Both are optional and off by default, and the other platforms work without them. Add Reddit credentials or an AI provider key from the Environment editor and redeploy, remembering that every visitor can then spend those quotas.

Which platforms does Upvote RSS support?

Upstream lists subreddits, Hacker News, Lemmy communities, Lobsters, PieFed communities, Mbin magazines and GitHub. Reddit needs three credential values, while the rest work without keys. Check upstream's list for newer platforms before relying on one.

What should I back up on an Upvote RSS server?

Nothing essential. The only volume is upvote_rss_cache, a rebuildable cache of API responses, parsed pages, AI summaries and resized images. It holds no settings or accounts, so keep a copy of your environment values instead.

Backups in xCloud

How do I upgrade Upvote RSS?

v1.8.1 remains pinned until you move to a newer template version. Check the project's notes beforehand. Running sites are never upgraded by xCloud, and the cache volume survives a redeploy, though clearing it only costs speed.

Is Upvote RSS free?

Yes. Upvote RSS is MIT licensed, so running it costs no licence fee. Budget for the dedicated Cloud VPS, plus whatever AI or Reddit usage you decide to enable, which those providers bill or limit themselves.

What can visitors make the Upvote RSS server do?

Feed requests make the server fetch the addresses named in them, so visitors can make it request addresses they put in the feed URL. The cache and logs may also be retrievable by a guessed file name, so restrict access if that matters.

Is there an Upvote RSS cloud service?

Not through this page. Upvote RSS cloud hosting here means your own generator runs on a Cloud VPS that xCloud prepares, with the cache on a volume you own and the address under your control.

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.
