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?
@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.
Unfortunately it only has tag suggestions when there’s letters in the tag field already. I’m probably going to use a lot of tags/categories and I might not be able to remember all of them. In this case I’d need to cycle through all first letters to make sure to not miss one.
I’m not sure that’s what I want to do.
