Hi everyone I’ve just recently moved over to truenas scale from synology, I wanted to migrate my rss feeds over as it was a fairly simple process on DSM. I installed the app fairly easily and then activated my api for external access. I should say that I only want to access this on my local network, on my phone. Laptop etc.

So on profile I set an API password and went to the “check api status via http://myip:port/api/api” to which I’m met with “google reader API configuration test: giant red X”

After asking chat gpt I managed to used the terminal to change the config.php to include my correct ip. After that I checked api status and now it just shows a “?”

I’m not totally sure what to do so I deleted the app, deleted the data set. Made another and tried again expecting to see the red x again but now all I can see is a question mark.

I’m a bit of a noob with truenas as I’ve only had it about 2 weeks but any help would be appreciated.

I just want to read the news lol

if you're on your home network the address will be the IP address and, if you're not using a reverse proxy, the port the app runs on.

with reverse proxy: http/s://192.168.8.2 or whatever without: http/s://:3000 or whatever the port is

Just the issue seems to be my api, if I’m able to fix that I’d be able to connect to my devices

I've had issues like this before too. Mine was with the api password. You have to enable api access in settings->authentication->allow api access

then reset the api password (sometimes takes a few saves to stick for some reason).
