```

### How to switch to sqlite3 as cache backend

### How to disable bridge errors (as feed items)
When a bridge fails, RSS-Bridge will produce a feed with a single item describing the error.
This way, feed readers pick it up and you are notified.
If you don't want this behaviour, switch the error output to `http`:
[error]
; Defines how error messages are returned by RSS-Bridge
;
; "feed" = As part of the feed (default)
; "http" = As HTTP error message
; "none" = No errors are reported
output = "http"
### How to accumulate errors before finally reporting it
Modify `report_limit` so that an error must occur 3 times before it is reported.
; Defines how often an error must occur before it is reported to the user
report_limit = 3
### How to password-protect the instance
HTTP basic access authentication:
[authentication]
enable = true
username = "alice"
password = "cat"
Will typically require feed readers to be configured with the credentials.
It may also be possible to manually include the credentials in the URL:
https://alice:cat@rss-bridge.org/bridge01/?action=display&bridge=FabriceBellardBridge&format=Html
### How to create a new output format
[Create a new format](https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/Format_API/index.html).
### How to run unit tests and linter
These commands require that you have installed the dev dependencies in `composer.json`.
./vendor/bin/phpunit
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=phpcs.xml --warning-severity=0 --extensions=php -p ./

RSS-Bridge uses caching to prevent services from banning your server for repeatedly updating feeds.
The specific cache duration can be different between bridges. Cached files are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
The specific cache duration can be different between bridges.
Cached files are deleted automatically after 24 hours.
RSS-Bridge allows you to take full control over which bridges are displayed to the user.
That way you can host your own RSS-Bridge service with your favorite collection of bridges!
