Image Cache Extension

This FreshRSS extension allows you to cache feeds’ pictures in your own facility.

To use it, upload this entire directory to the FreshRSS ./extensions directory on your server and enable it on the extension panel in FreshRSS.

There is a Cloudflare worker implementation of the cache utilizing its Cache API. Check this repo (It's can be run on free tier).

Configuration settings

• cache_url (default: https://example.com/pic?url=): The URL of the image used to load when the user reads the feed article.

• post_url (default: https://example.com/prepare): Address used to inform the caching service when FreshRSS fetches a new article.

  The plugin will send a JSON POST request to this address in this format:

  {
      "url": "https://http.cat/418.jpg",
      "access_token": "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
  }

• access_token (default: ""): See the JSON request above.

• url_encode (default: 1): whether to URL-encode (RFC 3986) the proxied URL.

Important Note

Your cache implementation should not rely on the post-method, in other words, the cache_url should support cache-miss situations.
