Self Hosted Automatic Bookmark Backup and Synchronization
fedilink

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!

Yes, this is the best option if you are running a Nextcloud anyways. Although I have also been running it nicely with the more lightweight https://github.com/kd2org/karadav but then you don’t have the Nextcloud app to manage your bookmarks more easily.

To sync with Floccus you don’t need that webserver, that thing is very customized to deal with Nextcloud bullshit.

A simple nginx setup with this will get the job done:

    root /mnt/SSD1/web/root;
    location /dav/bookmarks {
        alias /mnt/SSD1/web/dav/bookmarks;
        auth_basic              realm_name;
        auth_basic_user_file    /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list;
        dav_methods     PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
        dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS;
        dav_access      user:rw;
        client_max_body_size    0;
        create_full_put_path    on;
    }

The file /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list stores authentication data. You can create users with the following command:

htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list yourusername

Then point Floccus at your server: http://10.0.0.1/dav/bookmarks

Enjoy.
