This is a documentation of my FreshRSS install to an apache server (pinky) behind an nginx proxy (athena).

1. Grab and extract latest FreshRSS release
2. Extract to /mnt/minsunluks/www/fresh
3. Change permissions
   chown -R www-data:www-data /mnt/minsunluks/www/fresh
chmod -R g+w /mnt/minsunluks/www/fresh
4. Add and enable the following config in /etc/apache2/sites-available/fresh.conf:
   

   Alias /fresh "/mnt/minsunluks/www/fresh/p/"
    
   <Directory /mnt/minsunluks/www/fresh/p>
           AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Indexes Limit
           Require all granted
   </Directory>
    
   AllowEncodedSlashes On

5. Create MySQL database:
   mysql -u root -p
   

   CREATE USER 'fresh'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
   CREATE DATABASE `fresh`;
   GRANT ALL privileges ON `fresh`.* TO 'fresh'@localhost;
   FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
   QUIT;

6. Continue setting up the configuration in a web browser
7. Insert the following into the nginx proxy configuration:
   

           location /fresh {
                   return 301 $scheme://$host/fresh/;
           }
           location /fresh/i {
                   return 301 $scheme://$host/fresh/i/;
           }
           location ^~ /fresh/ {
                   proxy_pass http://192.168.0.5/fresh;
                   rewrite /fresh(.*) /fresh/$1 break;
                   proxy_set_header        Host $http_host;
                   proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                   proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                   proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
           }
           location ^~ /fresh/i/ {
                   proxy_pass http://192.168.0.5/fresh/i;
                   rewrite /fresh/i(.*) /fresh/i/$1 break;
                   proxy_set_header        Host $http_host;
                   proxy_set_header        X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
                   proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
                   proxy_set_header        X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
           }

8. Create /etc/cron.d/update-freshrss-feeds
