Why This AMI Instead of a Manual Install?
Setting up Miniflux from scratch means provisioning PostgreSQL, configuring nginx as a reverse proxy, hardening credentials, running database migrations, and troubleshooting dependency conflicts. This AMI eliminates all of that. You get a production-ready, private RSS reader running on your own infrastructure with unique credentials generated automatically on first boot - no shared or default passwords ever ship in the image.
Compared to hosted feed readers, you retain full control of your data and reading habits. Compared to other Marketplace images, this stack is hardened by default and backed by 24/7 expert support from cloudimg.
Application Stack
- Miniflux 2.3 - minimalist, fast RSS/Atom/JSON feed reader
- PostgreSQL - datastore for feeds, entries, and settings
- nginx - reverse proxy fronting the Miniflux server
- Both the server and database bind to the loopback interface for security
Secure By Default
On first boot, a one-shot service runs database migrations, creates a single administrator account with a unique per-instance password, and generates a fresh PostgreSQL password. Credentials are written to a root-only file - no manual hardening steps required. This eliminates the risk of shared default credentials found in many community images.
Ready To Use
- Launch the AMI from AWS Marketplace.
- SSH into your instance and retrieve the admin credentials from the root-only file.
- Navigate to your instance's public IP in a browser and sign in.
- Add your first feeds, import an OPML file, or connect mobile apps via the built-in Google Reader and Fever APIs.
The full REST API is available for automation and integration with other tools.
Example Use Cases
- Security analyst: Aggregate threat-intelligence feeds (CVE announcements, vendor advisories, OSINT sources) into a private reader that never leaks your reading patterns to a third party.
- Content or marketing team: Centralize industry news across team members using the REST API to programmatically manage subscriptions and export entries.
- Developer or SRE: Pipe release notes, changelog RSS feeds, and CI/CD notifications into Miniflux for a single monitoring dashboard alongside your existing tooling.
Key Features
- Clean, distraction-free reader interface with keyboard shortcuts
- Full-text content fetching for truncated feeds
- OPML import and export
- REST API plus Google Reader and Fever API compatibility for mobile apps
- Lightweight and fast - designed for minimal resource consumption

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Miniflux is served on port 80 through nginx (the server listens on 127.0.0.1:8080). Retrieve the generated administrator login with: sudo cat /root/miniflux-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in with the username and password shown. The health endpoint http://<instance-public-ip>/healthcheck is open. Services are managed with systemctl (miniflux, postgresql, nginx). To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
