Good morning, afternoon, or evening;

I am looking for a self hosted solution for Bookmark backup and synchronization. I just spun up a docker container for Linkding; don’t get me wrong this is awesome, but it is missing some things I would like to see in a bookmark backup solution.

A few key things I am looking for:

  • Browser agnostic (at least firefox and chromium based browsers)
  • Automatic backup/synchronization
  • Integration with the browser’s built in bookmarks

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am looking to self host, and not looking for something like Xbrowsersync or Firefox Account syncing.

I am open to suggestions!

Thank you!

I’m curious why you’re not interested in xBrowsersync, if you’re willing to share. It does everything you’re looking for.

Have you looked at Shaarli?

not OP but it’s painfully slow when you have a large collection of bookmarks.

Well, I want the data to be my own. And that traffic won’t leave my home network, unless I am VPNed into my network. I don’t expose my services to the Internet because it’s just for me.

I have not. He ked out Shaarli but I am going to look now.

FYI, I host my own xbs server. It’s pretty easy on its own, but I use the d.rymcg.tech framework.
