Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

These are both essentially selfhosted replacements for Pocket.

Anyone try them and have experiences to share? The feature set seems similar.

EDIT: From the comments I'm seeing so far it seems that as of now they are indeed very similar!

I used wallabag and liked it. I stopped when I had to move my server and backed up the data. I installed wallabag again and the backup would not work with the latest version. I had exported it in various ways as well, just in case one didn't work well but none worked. So that left a bad taste in my mouth. This might have coincidentally happened right in a database upgrade or something inbetween the 2 versions, but the fact that my backup could not be used frustrated me. Still looking for an alternative and am considering readdeck like you. I tried it a while back and did not see a way to export data at that time (I think it could have been done from command line though?). Been over a year since then so maybe that has changed. Right now I am using Shaarli for bookmarks and it works. It doesn't stick for me like wallabag did though.
