That’s what I’m doing too. Kind of felt wrong to do that, but if you don’t need the extra features of docker volumes this is the way. It always puzzles me when I read “Volumes are easier to back up or migrate than bind mounts.” in the docs. How are these --volumes-from shenanigans easier than rsyncing some directory off the host?

[…] script something that does this.

Theoretically this pandoc one liner already does it, but depending on the website the layouting is going to be trash.

pandoc -i 'https://the-website-your-rss-items.link.to/' -f html -t epub -o out.epub

Might not be for you if you are not a TUI person, but I like newsboat. I also use it to watch youtube and listen to podcasts. For pdf/epub export you can probably script something that does this.

Surprised to see jellyfin here tbh. The docker image needed literally zero configuration to work perfectly for me.
