Please read https://github.com/tt-rss/tt-rss/wiki/Global-Config. Note that the configuration syntax changed in 2021. Once you have configured TT-RSS, tweak /etc/conf.d/ttrssd to your needs if you have not already done so. If ACLs are unavailable on the filesystem you have just installed to then you will need to set TTRSSD_USER to your PHP user. When everything is ready, (re)start the update daemon like so: /etc/init.d/ttrssd restart This will periodically update your feeds in the background. Add the daemon to your default runlevel to start it on every boot: rc-update add ttrssd default
