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:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I self-host https://floccus.org/
If you've got a browser that supports plugins, then you can use the floccus add-in. But for Android, I use the floccus app since it's just easier.
Floccus is primarily a bookmarking service, but if you want to save articles for viewing later Linkwarden might be a better fit.
floccus syncs to linkwarden as of a very recent release and it's an amazing combo, I'm loving it.
Floccus is actually just a sync tool, it can also sync with Linkwarden in the latest version.

No way! I just uninstalled Linkwarden because it wasn't working well on too many websites (i.e. it would capture cookie popups or "choose your country" rather than the page I wanted).
Glad to see some cool updates and integration, though.
I didn't know floccus, I will take a look.
Thanks for the suggestion
I use Linkding https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding which is a clone of pinboard. Not sure if it will work with Samsung browser but I use custom actions on iOS to add links and the web UI to access links
I'm going to add Hoarder to the pile of suggestions.
Thanks for the suggestion, but as far as I know there is not any plugin for the browser available, right?
Yes there is.
Linkwarden and Wallabag are both excellent. Omnivore is up and coming, but might still be difficult to selfhost.
I self-host xBrowserSync. It's a bookmark sync tool, not a link manager, but it does that very well (set-and-forget - it's almost invisible). There are browser extensions and mobile apps
I've also used Shaarli, which is more of a link sharing tool. Don't remember much about it, though - sorry.
Thank for the suggestions, I will take a look because it is true that I focused myself on the link manager but perhaps a link sync tool could do the job.
Thanks again
