Where it runs
Mac minis, home NAS boxes, VPS instances, or any host that can keep Docker running are good fits. A single container serves the Web app, API, RSS ingestion, jobs, and recommendation maintenance.
It does not need to be public on the internet. A LAN or private VPN deployment is enough.
First launch
A fresh instance walks through single-user login creation, OPML import or the first RSS / Atom feed, and optional provider setup.
Skipping the provider still leaves reading, search, favorites, read later, and baseline ranking available.
Data ownership
Feeds, articles, states, behavior events, reading profile, embedding authority table, and index state live in your SQLite database and persistent directory.
The access package includes backup, restore, upgrade, health check, and troubleshooting notes.
Why a Waitlist
v0.1.0 is usable as a personal tool, but NAS environments and provider choices vary widely. Gradual access keeps instructions current and feedback useful.
