Nextcloud news and rsshub don't work together

steko · July 28, 2026, 7:35pm

What app is this about, and its version: Nextcloud 34.0.2 RSSHub 2026.07.26~ynh1
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.1.40.1 (stable)
What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online

Describe your issue

I have both Nextcloud and RSSHub installed on my Yunohost. For several months I used the Nextcloud News app to read RSS feeds from RSSHub. Now since some months Nextcloud News won’t read RSS feeds from the “local” RSSHub, while remote RSS feeds work perfectly. The error message complains about

Local server access is not allowed: Host \\\"127.0.0.1\\\" (rsshub.genovadalbasso.nohost.me:80) violates local access rules\

I don’t understand if this is a bug in RSSHub, Nextcloud or my configuration.

If I ssh into the server and point curl to one of the RSS feed URLs, it downloads the feed without any problem.

Apparently it’s caused by the allow_local_remote_servers parameter in Nextcloud:

Here’s how I fixed it for now:

sudo yunohost app shell nextcloud
php occ config:system:set allow_local_remote_servers --value=true

I don’t know if the custom value will get overridden with updates.
