Self Hosted Automatic Bookmark Backup and Synchronization

Self Hosted Automatic Bookmark Backup and Synchronization - Lemmy.World

Good morning, afternoon, or evening; I am looking for a self hosted solution for Bookmark backup and synchronization. I just spun up a docker container for Linkding; don’t get me wrong this is awesome, but it is missing some things I would like to see in a bookmark backup solution. A few key things I am looking for: - Browser agnostic (at least firefox and chromium based browsers) - Automatic backup/synchronization - Integration with the browser’s built in bookmarks Anyone have any suggestions? I am looking to self host, and not looking for something like Xbrowsersync or Firefox Account syncing. I am open to suggestions! Thank you!

Floccus is a great option with different sync sources and works across browsers

Yes, this is the best option if you are running a Nextcloud anyways. Although I have also been running it nicely with the more lightweight github.com/kd2org/karadav but then you don’t have the Nextcloud app to manage your bookmarks more easily.

To sync with Floccus you don’t need that webserver, that thing is very customized to deal with Nextcloud bullshit.

A simple nginx setup with this will get the job done:

root /mnt/SSD1/web/root; location /dav/bookmarks { alias /mnt/SSD1/web/dav/bookmarks; auth_basic realm_name; auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list; dav_methods PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE; dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS; dav_access user:rw; client_max_body_size 0; create_full_put_path on; }

The file /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list stores authentication data. You can create users with the following command:

htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list yourusername

Enjoy.
