Windows 10

1. Get miniflux-windows-amd64 from releases, rename it to miniflux.exe.
2. PostgreSQL (test on v14).

Create database⁵:

initdb --locale=C --username=miniflux --pgdata=miniflux
postgres -D miniflux
# Keep this terminial window

Configrate database⁶:

1. Find and run pgAdmin4.exe.
2. Servers → Context-menu → Register → Server → Tab General:

   Name: miniflux_server
   

3. Tab Connection:

   host name: localhost
   Maintenance database: miniflux
   Username: miniflux
   

4. Servers → miniflux_server → Context-menu of Databases → Create → Database → Tab General:

   Database: miniflux
   

5. Tab Definition:

   Encoding: None
   

Create miniflux.conf⁷:

DATABASE_URL=user=miniflux password=secret dbname=miniflux sslmode=disable
RUN_MIGRATIONS=1
POLLING_FREQUENCY=60
CREATE_ADMIN=1
ADMIN_USERNAME=<admin_username>
ADMIN_PASSWORD=<admin_password>
DEBUG=on
WORKER_POOL_SIZE=10
PORT=8070

# In a new terminal session
miniflux -config-file miniflux.conf

usage

# Backup data
pg_dump -U miniflux -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5432 -F t miniflux > miniflux.tar

# Clear postgresql
sudo systemctl stop postgresql
sudo systemctl disable postgresql
pg_lsclusters
sudo systemctl stop postgresql@16-main
sudo pg_dropcluster 16 main --stop
sudo apt-get remove --purge postgresql-16

config

On Windows 10, how to autorun at startup?

1. Create start_miniflux.bat.

   rem Maybe need administrator permissions. I forgot.
   @echo off
   
   start postgres.exe -D miniflux_db
   timeout 5
   start miniflux.exe -config-file miniflux.conf
   
   pause
   

2. I don't want to use Windows Task Scheduler. I don't try NSSM. So create start_miniflux.vbs:

   Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
     WshShell.Run chr(34) & "<path_to>\start_service.bat" & Chr(34), 0
   Set WshShell = Nothing
   

3. Create shortcut of start_miniflux.vbs.
4. Put the shortcut into C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\.
