versun/rssboxWhat is RSSBox?
RSSBox is a self-hosted RSS feed management tool that translates foreign-language content using AI translation engines including OpenAI-compatible models, DeepL, and LibreTranslate. It supports per-feed translation engine selection, keyword and AI-based content filtering, tag-based feed aggregation, and AI-generated daily digests. The application is built with Django and deployed via Docker Compose with Redis for caching. It provides both RSS and JSON output formats for translated feeds. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0 and offers a demo instance at rssbox.app/demo.

我的阅读器无法订阅翻译后的地址
Check translation status is complete, verify the URL works in browser, and ensure RSSBox is accessible from your reader (check network/firewall).
标签系统问题
Check if RSS sources are correctly linked to tags, confirm linked sources have new content, and verify tag filter configuration.
AI日报生成失败
Ensure RSS sources are correctly created and linked to tags, confirm the AI engine for digest generation works, and verify tags have enough active sources (3-5 recommended).
AI过滤器不生效
Verify AI engine is correctly configured and valid, and check that filter prompts are clear and specific.
为什么有些内容没有翻译
Check max entries limit which restricts translation count. Free engines like Google Translate and DeepLX have rate limits causing failures; paid engines are recommended.
翻译状态 错误
Verify the translation engine is valid and the server can reach the translation service.
获取源状态 失败
Check if the feed URL is correct and accessible, verify server network connectivity, and check proxy settings for local deployments.
Server 500报错
Wait 5 minutes and try again. If on Railway, wait longer. Otherwise restart the instance or service.
报错:CSRF验证失败
Set the CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS environment variable to your domain or IP address with port.
如何备份数据
All metadata is stored in data/db.sqlite3 database file, which can be backed up directly.
