This web app can run on your own server! You will need Redis to cache the HTTP requests it's making to its news sources, and Mongo to store the user data encrypted on the client side without knowing the key. The latter is completely optional if you don't intend to synchronize between devices.
Heroku or a similar self-hosted PaaS like Dokku is recommended. Here is the setup with the latter:
# Dokku setup
dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-redis.git redis
dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-mongo.git mongo
dokku plugin:install https://github.com/dokku/dokku-letsencrypt.git
dokku config:set --global DOKKU_LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL=alice@example.com
# App setup
dokku apps:create news
dokku domains:add news news.example.com
dokku config:set news TWITTER_KEY=xxxxx
dokku config:set news TWITTER_SECRET=xxxxx
dokku config:set news NEWSAPI_KEY=xxxxx
dokku config:set news REHOST_URL=https://rehost.vinc.cc
dokku letsencrypt news
dokku redis:create news-redis
dokku redis:link news-redis news
dokku mongo:create news-database
dokku mongo:link news-database newsYou can then deploy like this:
git remote add dokku dokku@dokku.example.com:news
git push dokku masterYou can also try it locally like this:
bundle install
rails serverThis web app uses https://github.com/vinc/rehost to rehost image, but in the future this will be integrated in the app.
