Elfeed-protocol - two way sync?

GangstaKirBie · 2022-07-24 12:18
Any one have a setup with [Elfeed-protocol](https://github.com/fasheng/elfeed-protocol) that can tell me if it is possible to do two way sync of feeds? I have managed to get a setup up working with synchronization between elfeed and miniflux with the fever API. As it works now, I can read the feeds I add in miniflux in emacs with elfeed, and the read state and everything is correctly synced. However the feeds I set up in emacs aren't synced to miniflux, and I don't know if it is supposed to be like this or if there is something wrong with my setup. I would prefer to be able to set up every feed from emacs and have it synced to the miniflux db, but maybe that is not possible.

It's not possible. You will have to adds feeds from the miniflux ui

I maintain my feed list using the export feature of [elfeed-org](https://github.com/remyhonig/elfeed-org). I sync it manually by exporting to OPML and importing it into Nextcloud's web interface. If you frequently add and remove feeds then this probably isn't acceptable, but my feed list is relatively stable and it's good enough for me. I get to maintain my feeds in a nice tidy Org file and sync my read/unread items across devices.

Thanks. It is good to know for sure.

Thank you very much. This sounds like a set up that could work very well for me.

Another question, if you don't mind. With this setup, can you then maintain synchronization of the read/unread state between the clients?

Yep, I'm still using elfeed-protocol to sync the articles. The Org file is for exporting feeds to Nextcloud (or I guess miniflux in your case) and for setting up elfeed tags.
