Planet Venus is a web-based tool that allows you to combine two or more RSS feeds into a single feed. It is written in Python and can be installed on Debian or Ubuntu systems using the pip command.
To install Planet Venus on a Debian or Ubuntu system, you will need to install the pip package manager, which is used to install Python packages. You can install pip using the following command:
apt-get install python3-pip
Once pip is installed, you can use it to install Planet Venus using the following command:
pip3 install --upgrade planet-venus
This will install Planet Venus and all its dependencies.
To set up Planet Venus to combine two or more RSS feeds, you will need to create a configuration file that specifies the feeds you want to combine and the layout of the combined feed. The configuration file is written in Python, and it should be saved with a .ini extension.
Here is an example configuration file that combines two RSS feeds:
[planet] name = My Planet owner_name = John Doe owner_email = john@example.com url = http://example.com/planet/ output = /var/www/planet/ [feed1] url = http://feed1.com/rss [feed2] url = http://feed2.com/rss
Replace the name, owner_name, owner_email, and url values with your own values, and specify the URLs of the RSS feeds you want to combine in the url fields under the feed1 and feed2 sections. The output value specifies the directory where the combined feed will be generated.
Once you have created the configuration file, you can run Planet Venus using the following command:
planet -c /path/to/config.ini
Replace /path/to/config.ini with the path to your configuration file. This will generate the combined feed and save it to the output directory specified in the configuration file.
You can then view the combined feed by visiting the URL specified in the url field of the planet section of the configuration file.
Note that you may need to use sudo to run these commands, depending on your system configuration and your user permissions.
