RSSHub deployment questions
What does the RSSHub template deploy?
It deploys RSSHub so you can generate RSS or Atom feeds from supported RSSHub route sources.
Which port did the tutorial use?
The tutorial used host port 4181, which maps to the RSSHub web server on container port 1200.
Why does the guide stop at the route documentation web UI?
The tutorial verifies the route documentation web UI because individual route configuration depends on the sites and feeds you want to follow.
Should this become a blog post?
No. The deployment guide should live on the RSSHub template detail page and be linked from the reusable template deployment docs page.
