Correct me if I’m wrong but it would be possible to use the daemon to update feeds by running an hourly cron for the update_daemon2 script to make sure the daemon is still running.
For the records: I don’t have the ability to start the daemon by systemd or something else on my webspace.
You can use cron, right? Can you not use this?
/30 * * * * /path/to/tt-rss/update.php --feeds --feedbrowser --quiet > /dev/null
Or is that just not good enough™?
in situations like that hosting usually doesn’t allow persistent background processes, might want to check that first
that said it should work but i would suggest using update.php as in above post, alternatively get a VDS and setup things properly.
