Quick start

Open a local AI agent that can run terminal commands and complete a browser handoff, then paste this prompt in any folder on your computer.

Codex Claude Code Cursor or another capable local agent
Terminal window
Deploy microfeed to Cloudflare.
Start by running `npx @microfeed/cli manage`, then follow its instructions until
deployment is verified.

That is enough to begin. Stay nearby while the agent works: you sign in to Cloudflare in your browser, choose between any ambiguous accounts or existing sites, and create your private dashboard password yourself. Never paste a Cloudflare token, dashboard password, or private setup link into the conversation.

  • A computer with Node.js 22.12 or newer. Its standard installer includes npm and npx. If npx is unavailable, ask the agent to help you install Node.js first, then use the same prompt again.
  • A Cloudflare account. Cloudflare’s included usage is enough for many personal and small sites; usage above its published limits may require a paid plan.
  • An email address for the private dashboard login.

You do not need Git, Corepack, or a Git-cloned copy of microfeed’s source code. The published CLI contains the matching deployment source and Yarn runtime.

  1. The first command prepares the exact microfeed release in a private cache. Initial setup can take several minutes and use about 1.3 GB; it does not put source files in your current folder.
  2. Cloudflare opens a browser page for you to sign in. The agent explains each important choice and asks before reusing an existing site or resource.
  3. After deployment, you open a private one-time setup page and choose the dashboard password yourself.
  4. The agent runs npx @microfeed/cli manage status and continues until the hosted application, dashboard protection, database, and media storage are verified.

The result is a microfeed site in your Cloudflare account with a public website, RSS feed, JSON Feed, and private Admin dashboard.
