I just spent hours shaving a yak while trying to get a self-hosted bookmark manager / archiver set up in Docker on our NAS. Worked my way through all the various setup issues (my first time using Docker, Syno's utility makes it both easier and harder), and the damn thing failed during first user registration with a database error. That there's already an open issue for in GitHub. From 2022. 😠

Computers were a mistake.

In related news, anyone successfully self-hosting a bookmark solution similar to [Unmark](https://unmark.it)?

@llorenzin

i have an instance of #xBrowserSync running for a few years. The project hasn't seen much change, but it works for me.

I think there's another project which uses Nextcloud as backend (can't remember the name).

@viharm @llorenzin There's the 'Bookmarks' app for Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/bookmarks
Bookmarks - Apps - App Store - Nextcloud

The Nextcloud App Store - Upload your apps and install new apps onto your Nextcloud

@mick_talbott @viharm thank you! I haven't gotten up the nerve to tackle setting up Nextcloud yet - it's on my list, just seems a bit intimidating. But I'll get there eventually, and this is another good motivator!

@llorenzin @mick_talbott @viharm FWIW, we made the jump to Nextcloud a while back, and after a bit of upfront pain it's been great. There's still some clunkiness to the interface and the email client is really not there yet, but most of it works pretty well. I'm quite happy with it.
