I am looking for a self hosted bookmark manager. Does anyone have any experience to share?
Ideally I’d like:
- Self hosted with FOSS license
- Firefox integration (ideally on android, too)
- ideally no AI features or at least opt-in
- ideally human driven development (as little AI code as possible)
Linkwarden, Karakeep, Nextcloud/bookmarks seems to be the main ones.
How active is development of Linkding? Seems there hasn’t been a commit in 2 months or so.
While I wouldn’t expose such a service to the internet it’s still a bit worrying with the amount of CVEs coming out. Like these that haven’t been addressed https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/issues/1527, https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding/issues/1518
Thing is with those generic vulnerability scan issues, it might be fine if they don’t use brotli or dns or whatever is vulnerable or don’t expose it in a way it can be accessed. I’ve seen maintainers push back against unneeded hurry up busy work, but I also can’t be arsed to check if they’re relevant since idk the code base or how it’s used.
It does get maintenance when needed, but dev is slower since it’s basically done. It works and hasn’t ever given me trouble. I also have it exposed behind Authentik, so I guess the security issues matter much less too.
I’m able to use an iOS shortcut to save links and the desktop extension with SSO Authentik login in the way, so overall I’m pretty chuffed
