Cache feed images on your own facility or Cloudflare cache.

Image Cache Extension

This FreshRSS extension allows you to cache feeds’ pictures in your own facility.

To use it, upload this entire directory to the FreshRSS ./extensions directory on your server and enable it on the extension panel in FreshRSS.

There is a Cloudflare worker implementation of the cache utilizing its Cache API. Check this repo (It's can be run on free tier).

Configuration settings

• cache_url (default: https://example.com/pic?url=): The URL of the image used to load when the user reads the feed article.

• post_url (default: https://example.com/prepare): Address used to inform the caching service when FreshRSS fetches a new article.

  The plugin will send a JSON POST request to this address in this format:

  {
      "url": "https://http.cat/418.jpg",
      "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  }

• access_token (default: ""): See the JSON request above.

• url_encode (default: 1): whether to URL-encode (RFC 3986) the proxied URL.

Important Note

Your cache implementation should not rely on the post-method, in other words, the cache_url should support cache-miss situations.
