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

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).
