Manual Binary Installation

This document describes how to install the Miniflux binary on your Linux server.

Make sure to install and configure PostgreSQL before installing Miniflux.

You can download precompiled binaries from the GitHub Releases page. You can also build the application from the source code.

1. Copy the precompiled binary to a directory on your server, for example, /usr/local/bin.
2. Make the file executable: chmod +x miniflux.
3. Define the environment variable DATABASE_URL if necessary.
4. Run the SQL migrations: miniflux -migrate.
5. Create an admin user: miniflux -create-admin.
6. Start the application: miniflux.

It is recommended to configure a process manager like systemd or supervisord to supervise the Miniflux daemon.

Make sure to review the list of configuration parameters to customize your installation.
