FLTFB is a RSS and Atom fetcher. It fetches feeds and stores them in a SQLite database. It's designed to run in a container and for easy integration with other tools and processes. It doesn't do much of anything else.

It's designed for use with Marginalia Search, but could very well be used for other things, such as a personal feed reader or podcast aggregator.

If the definitions are intended to be mutable over the course of the runtime of the container, the definitions.txt file needs to be updated by an external process, such as a git pull.

The container will automatically reload the definitions.txt on each update.

Properties are set via FEEDLOT_OPTS. Set these properties like -Dproperty=value in the FEEDLOT_OPTS environment variable in the container.

By default the API listens on port 8080.
