internal/rss parses RSS 2.0 and Atom, and polls each configured feed on its own interval; internal/webfetch is the one door either of them uses to touch the network. The poller writes items as notes with source "rss:<feed>" and nothing else: the answer path reads them back when he asks "что нового в лентах?", and nothing is announced on arrival. A feed that dispatched would be a nag, which is why the plan's breaking-news rule was left out rather than built. webfetch is where the limits live, as code rather than a paragraph: http(s) only, an allowlist (the configured feeds' hosts) and a denylist, a 2 MiB body cap, a 3-redirect cap, one request per host per second, and a refusal to connect to any private address — checked in the dialer's Control hook so it holds for every resolved address and every redirect hop, not just for a literal IP. Off unless configured: no "feeds" block, no poller, no outbound request. How far a feed was read is a config fact (rss:latest:<name>), so a restart does not re-note yesterday's headlines.
Maven — Docker deployment
One image, one container per daemon (docker-compose.yml). Core (mavend)
holds the encryption key and the db; the modules mount only the shared socket
dir and read-only models.
First run
# 1. generate the at-rest db key (32 bytes, base64) — keep it safe, losing it loses the db
cp deploy/db_key.env.example deploy/db_key.env
printf 'MAVEN_DB_KEY=%s\n' "$(openssl rand 32 | base64 -w0)" > deploy/db_key.env
# 2. build + start
docker compose build
docker compose up -d
# 3. logs
docker compose logs -f mavend
models/ and deps/ are bind-mounted / baked from the host — they are NOT in
git (fetched via make deps + downloaded models). The build context needs
deps/lib, deps/piper, deps/include, and deps/whisper.cpp/ggml/include
present (see .dockerignore).

Reading the outside world (off by default)
mavend.json ships without a feeds block, which means no RSS/Atom feed is
fetched and no outbound request is made. Switching it on is adding the block:
"feeds": {
"poll_interval": "30m",
"max_items": 5,
"max_age": "24h",
"sources": [
{ "name": "habr", "url": "https://habr.com/ru/rss/best/daily/",
"category": "технологии", "exclude": ["реклама"] }
]
}
What it does and does not do:
- items are written as notes with source
rss:<name>, visible on/dash; - nothing is announced. She reads them back when asked — "что нового в лентах?", "что нового по технологиям?" — and never on arrival. There is no severity or channel knob here on purpose;
- the fetcher is allowlisted to the hosts of the configured feeds, plus any
allow_hosts. It refuses non-http(s) schemes and every private address (loopback, the LAN, the10.42.0.0/24wg range, cloud metadata). It caps the response at 2 MiB and redirects at 3, and makes at most one request per host per second. Seeinternal/webfetch; - how far each feed was read is stored as a config fact
rss:latest:<name>, so a restart does not re-note yesterday's headlines.
Not yet verified / host-dependent
This stack is correct-by-construction but has not been build-tested here (no docker in the authoring env; ~1GB context; GPU). Expect a tweak on first build on the target host, most likely in one of these:
- GPU passthrough —
mavsttdmaps/dev/drifor Vulkan. On an NVIDIA host you'd swap to the nvidia container runtime instead of/dev/dri. - onnxruntime lib path —
mavend's embedder needslibonnxruntime.so(onLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/maven/lib). If the embedder wants an explicit path, set it in the config's embedder block. - cross-container voice —
mavweb -voice mavend:9100only works oncemavendbinds its voice server on0.0.0.0:9100(Voice config, currently unset). Until then, voice-over-web is inert;/tools, passkey, and the dash work fine over the core socket. - netdata —
mavpollreaches it viahost.docker.internal; adjust if netdata runs elsewhere.
