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.

Is it possible to hook this up to FF mobile as well?

You will need to setup a reverse proxy that handles ssl and letsencrypt in front of the syncstorage-rs docker and make sure you don't bind to http://localhost/ but https://example.com/.
Firefox clients refuse to connect to a sync storage that doesn't use a signed certificate unless it is on localhost.

To use it on firefox mobile you will need to activate the developer mode by going to Settings -> About Firefox and press the logo multiple times (I think five?). Exit the settings menu and enter it again. Now you will see Sync Debug at the top of the settings menu and in that menu you can setup custom servers.

Amazing! TYSM for the detailed instructions! I've got a reverse proxy and a domain in place, so this should be no problem.

Nice! I needed that info for the mobile Firefox settings! Thank you

I'm pretty sure I've heard people do that, but I don't know because I don't actually use sync.

Alright. Sounds like I've got a winter project now. Thanks!
