Fusion RSS Reader on Ubuntu 24.04 by cloudimg

Fusion is a lightweight, self-hosted RSS reader. It subscribes to RSS and Atom feeds, discovers feeds automatically from any site URL, organises them into groups, and presents articles in a fast, responsive web interface with unread tracking, bookmarks, full-text search and Google Reader style keyboard shortcuts. A Fever-compatible API lets third-party clients such as Reeder, Unread and FeedMe sync against your own server. Fusion ships no AI features by design, keeping reading focused and distraction free.

The cloudimg image runs Fusion 1.2 as a single Go binary under systemd behind an nginx reverse proxy on port 80, with an embedded SQLite datastore on a dedicated Azure data disk. Backed by 24/7 expert support.

Dedicated Data Disk

Your feeds and articles live on a dedicated, independently resizable Azure data disk mounted at /var/lib/fusion, separate from the OS disk and re-provisioned with every VM.

Secure By Default

No shared or default credential ships in this image. A unique 32-character administrator password is generated on first boot and written to a root-only file. Two independent guards make a default-credential deployment impossible: the service will not start until first boot has provisioned that password, and Fusion itself refuses to start when no password is configured. nginx on port 80 is the intended single public entry point; front it with TLS for production.
