There are a ton of selfhosted bookmark syncing and managing solutions.
In addition to https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#bookmarks-and-link-sharing I found these:
- Betula - https://sr.ht/~bouncepaw/betula/
- Linkwallet - https://github.com/tardisx/linkwallet
- Nextcloud Bookmarks - https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/bookmarks (Only makes sense when you’ve already set up Nextcloud)
- Postmarks - https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks
- xBrowserSync - https://www.xbrowsersync.org/
I’m sure there are a ton more out there.
Basically all I want is to sync and somewhat categorize/tag bookmarks across my devices. Website archival, sharing and multi-user support is optional.
Going by GitHub stars I guess using Floccus with LinkWarden or Karakeep is the way to go?
It’s not the best solution (but it works for me) but I use dokuwiki and the wiki2bookmark plugin.
Sorry to suggest another one but Linkding is by far my favourite. It’s super lightweight and the tag filtering implementation makes it super efficient and easy to filter large collections.
++, long time user, it’s perfect
@Lemmchen I have been through a few of these including nextcloud, floccus sync, Wallabag.
The clear winner, and likely permanent solution for me ended up being Linkding.
Its blazing fast, simple, just a web interface, no sync tools to set up in each device/browser, add links using a simple bookmarklet in the browser bar (no extensions/sync). It has a very similar vibe to miniflux if you use that for RSS. I wish more self hosted apps were in this bloat-free minimalist style, its so good.
I think a lot of it comes down to any specific features you want. For example, I’m currently using Readeck because it has OPDS support, so I can save a link on my computer/phone and continue reading it on my ebook/epaper reader. Before that I used wallabag because of its tight integration with my RSS reader
I’ve been using Wallabag for years, after leaving Pocket, then just sharing links between devices using browser bookmarks or sync, and trying another solution that was shiny but lacking (can’t recall the name).
Wallabag has extensions for most browsers, apps for iOS and Android (that hook into the “Share with…” functionality), and runs in a low-resource Docker container. The web UI isn’t pretty, but it’s functional.
I have SWAG+Authelia (another Docker stack) and Cloudflare sitting in front of it, so has all the SSL and MFA needed.
Linkwarden looks slick and has some cool features, but was really more than I needed (and used more resources than I wanted my bookmark solution to).
I landed on Linkding, which is not as fancy as some other options but does everything I need it to.
Been using linkwarden with floccus. LW has an android app now too. I haven’t really tried anything else and floccus could use some improvements but seems to work for me.
The winner by far is Gnu Emacs
Think of the children. Use vim.
What have you got against terminal95 and pine?
edDamn it
Lol! I love it! Is there a docker compose file for it?
Yup.

Mozilla browser sync
Self-hostable if you want
https://mozilla-services.github.io/syncstorage-rs/
This still relies on Mozilla’s login servers, so not fully selfhosted unfortunately.
It seems like you can selfhost the whole FxA stack in theory, but I haven’t found much documentation for it.
Yeah, “make a 100% selfhost mozilla sync” is about number 12 on my long list of cool tech projects I swear I am going to get to.
EDIT: But seriously in terms of low effort and high security (due to E2E and relatively high number of eyes on Mozilla sources) it hits the sweet spot for me. Even though yes Mozilla and its advertisers know when and from what IP addresses I login to Mozilla services.
I personally like Karakeep with Floccus a lot

This one?Looks like it doesn’t come with docker and seems like you don’t get access to the full source on the free version?
That’s the one
I’ve been using LinkWarden for a long time now. I also use Readeck for ‘read it later’ kind of data but it could be used to bookmark. I use Karakeep for archiving. I have not tried Betula, Linkwallet, Nextcloud Bookmarks, Postmarks, or xBrowserSync.
Slightly different function, but I use KaraKeep for managing bookmarks and I never use bookmarks in my actual browser.
I never felt the need. What does such a solution actually do?
For me, the idea is to sync bookmarks between devices.
Right into the browsers? Into all browsers on all devices?
Yes.
I’ve been using Zotero as my bookmark solution and it’s been amazing. I have not setup sync across different devices (or figured out how that would work), but being able to snapshot and page in time and have it forever has been a life saver.
