FreshRSS Command-Line Interface (CLI)

Note on access rights

When using the command-line interface, remember that your user might not be the same as the one used by your Web server. This might create some access right problems.

It is recommended to invoke commands using the same user as your Web server:

cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
sudo -u www-data sh -c './cli/list-users.php'

In any case, when you are done with a series of commands, you should re-apply the access rights:

cd /usr/share/FreshRSS
sudo chown -R :www-data .
sudo chmod -R g+r .
sudo chmod -R g+w ./data/

Commands

Options in parenthesis are optional.
