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.

I tried self hosting it,but it felt very resource intensive on my vps. It's a really good bookmark manager, feature rich and all. But I feel like it could have been lighter.

Linkwarden has pretty minimal hardware requirements - it was tested on a VPS with 4gb of memory and it ran pretty smoothly, the most intense part is when you build the app, but once it's running it's relatively lightweight.

From their website. I wouldn't consider tested on 4gb vps having minimal hardware.

I use Linkding and I am very happy with it. Less feature? Maybe. But it's a bookmark sync. What do you need?

A bookmark sync. Thanks. I'll check it out.

If you just want to sync bookmarks I don't think linkwarden is what you want. Maybe floccus? I'm going to check out linkding that someone else mentioned because using git to sync floccus is broken on mobile platforms.

LOL if 4gb of memory is pretty minimal I am curious to know that they think to be resource intensive.

The maximum memory I am willing to allocate to a lxc container dedicated to bookmark management (=something that I access twice a month) is 256mb

4gb isn't so bad for a build, but wtf does it need to just run smoothly?!

I use Linkding too, it's very light and it's great, I only wish it had the exclude tag filter and no tag filter. That would make it perfect.
