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.

Just learned that POCKET will shut down in July 2025. It is a great service to collect articles on various devices and read later on a tablet & offline.

Which alternatives are out there?

I really like https://karakeep.app/.

I have it plugged into a local Ollama instance for automatic tagging of articles.

For bookmarking: https://raindrop.io/

But it’s not self-hosted and I’m not sure it supports offline reading.

That sucks, I immediately wanted it. :(

I love my LinkWarden instance. I haven't found it lacking for my needs, despite over 3000 links thus far

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago

I've just started using linkwarden and love it as well. I chose it over Karakeep because it archives a copy of the page so it's still accessible if the original page is modified or becomes inaccessible in the future.

Here is a list

Karakeep (formerly Hoarder) is another popular one, although I haven't tried it yet

I went with Readeck a few months ago. It's a nice solution between the barebones ones and those that have all the features.

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

I just set up Readeck today. I've never used pocket or anything of the sort but it's already proving pretty useful. I tend to do a lot of 100%/platinum runs of various games and I've been tossing guide bookmarks in a folder for ages, this is a great way to sort those out

I ended up on Readeck as well, very sleek interface, perfect for sharing articles via public links, self-hosting it was very easy to set up.

I'll throw another recommendation behind Karakeep. The fact I can share a page fromy mobile browser or use a browser extension on a laptop/desktop is excellent.

Another great thing for me is the oidc support so I can log in without passwords and rely on my Pocket ID instance and log in using a passkey. (Authelia, Authentic, Keycloak and similar identity providers would work too)

I have no idea why the fucking docker instance refuses to work. I've tried so many times...

[–] sean_lemmy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Currently trying Readeck.

Karakeep is also popular, but doesn't default to an article view which I prefer.

Wallabag looks good, but I had difficulty getting its docker setup

I use my note taking app with a specific tag for "read later"

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 1 points 10 hours ago

it's not perfect, but i've just been gathering interesting links into my org roam notebook
