A couple of years ago, IFTTT did a thing where they asked people to sign up to premium and they could pay whatever they like and could keep the service forever. I didn't use many of the services, but thought it made sense to try and preserve something so useful for in case I did need it. In the meantime, I would allow it to check some RSS feeds and alert me when certain keywords came up.

Some time goes by and the ambitions of IFTTT grow, they now rename the service I pay for as Legacy. Seems ominous, but I'm only using it for RSS so nothing to worry about.

Fast forward to yesterday and I get an email to say that they're moving me to a new premium service and doubling what I pay. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate when companies do this. Especially when they promised I could keep my old thing at the same price forever.

Anyway, since they've clearly lost their mind in the pursuit of AI supremacy, I may as well just host this myself.

So is there a self hosted solution for RSS where I can get notifications when some RSS feeds publish indiscriminately and others when specific keywords come up?

Something I can put in a Docker container on my RPi, set and forget.

The best self hosted alt I've seen is huginn: https://github.com/huginn/huginn

It's not as easy to use as ifttt and much less already built for you but it does the same things.

Should I be worried that there's been no commits in the past three months?

The dev cycle has gotten slower over time but it's not dead

So, I tried to install this on my Raspberry Pi, only to find out it doesn't have ARM64 support, which is kind of alarming. It's a shame, but indicative of the lack of commits. I hope the project can find a new lease of life, but for now Huginn isn't a viable option for me at least.
