At long last, a proper purgatory for links I wish I had the attention span to read, but will never actually get back to reading.
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I rncommend Floccus, a bookmark syncing tool, which can store its bookmarks on linkwarden. Now all my bookmarks are automatically archived, and I don't need to relay on firefox's cloud anymore.
Oh thats awesome i already use linkwarden. But i havent updated in a few months. Gonna update it when i next can. Thanks for your work!
Good to hear, thanks!
Interesting. I’ve been looking for an alternative to Omnivore I could self-host.
This project is going that direction, with more features :)
I have a sudden desire to create an early 90s Web directory with categories and subcategories.
Heck yeah man, do it
So if you use linkwarden do the bookmarks you save show up like in your browsers search? Or do you need to go in to linkwarden to search through your bookmarks
For the advanced search functionality, yes you need to go to Linkwarden. Otherwise if you want the bookmarks to show up in the browser you can use a tool like Floccus.
How does this compare to Notion? Can it be used as a knowledge management system? I ask because I see highlights and notes.
Linkwarden is more like a Read-it-later + Bookmark manager combo which also saves the webpages itself.
Notion is a proprietary knowledge management system.
The ability to adjust preservation settings based on the tags is exactly what I wanted for a long time, I'm pumped. Thanks!
A killer feature for me would be collection-level tags. Tags don't always need to be universal. Some shouldn't appear in certain collections at all.
God, it took me a while to not see lickwarden
Looks interesting, would it be possible to selfhost it so it could work on client and server at the same time? Even when offline?
It is possible to self host?
Yes, it wouldn’t get posted here if it wasn’t able to be selfhosted, it is also listed on website that it can be selfhosted using docker
I guess I just don’t understand your original question :)
Nope, cannot use it when offline.
Yup, it's self-hostable and can work locally on your own network.
Would it need internet access then?
To access the webpages (before being bookmarked)? Yeah.
Otherwise if the articles and webpages are already bookmarked/saved, no it doesn't need to access the internet.
I'd love the archived version to use the actual view the user sees. For content that is locked behind a login, the client apps (or browser extension) could send the final document to LinkWarden to store. It would also get rid of cookie warnings the user has already accepted. In these cases, archive.org preservation would be disabled for privacy reasons. In terms of UI changes, a checkbox indicating such would probably be enough.
Hi @daniel31x13 tanks for making such a wonderful software. Is there any possibility you could somehow add browsing history to Linkwarden?
Currently there isn't any actively maintained FOSS project capable of doing that.
Would it be feasible? How much effort would it take?
Hey, thanks! We usually go with the most requested suggestions from the community. If it gets enough demand, why not? :)
Then I can forget about it. It's out of mind for most people, I don't know why.
