    Can it work entirely locally?

    Love this! I just wish there was a installer because I can’t get my mind to work with docker…

    Do linkwarden instances federate, so that it can act as a decentralised way-back-machine?

    With the demise of Omnivore I was about to roll out an alternative on my NAS. How does this compare to Wallabag?

      I’m out of touch here, what happened? No longer use it, but have some previously stored data there, should I do a purge? Is it dead or did they transition to something profit-driven and questionable?

        Hi mate, impressive work! I run linkding docker on a 2014 NAS, do you think it might be able to cope with your more advanced solution? If not I’ll keep a bookmark to use it on my next one, cheers

    I have over 20,000 bookmarks that I saved going all the way back to the 90s. I’ve been integrating tagging ever since del.icio.us was launched.

    I would love to check this out. How does this work with expired domains?

    Super cool! Love the work you’ve put in and the extension integration is sick. Have you considered adding an archive option to post a link to the internet archive? I’d rather save space on my drives and I want to preserve the websites I use for everyone.

    Does this new version fix the issue where it ends up capturing “choose your country”, cookie popups, and generally something NOT intended?

    I was having problems like that all the time, so I had to uninstall it.

    Compared to something like the FF extension “SingleFile”, I wish Linkwarden worked better :(

      I believe they added SingleFile as a save method back in March :)

    See also the linkdroid app on f-droid so you can use the share button to add links from your phone quickly. Works really well and I use it with single sign on as well.

    IOS has an app as well lol

    How does this compare to linkding, floccus, or hoarder?

      I don’t know but I ended up using linkding, even though linkwarden is great. Both options are very good. Maybe simplicity.

        The search engine injector is awesome too right! I also have hoarder but frequently will choose linkding for that feature

      Quick deploy and poking, in order: nicer UI; supposedly compatable (sync) but I couldn’t get it working; and no idea never heard of it.

      The .env for the compose file is confusing and it slowed my deployment way down, but other than that, it’s pretty painless. The variable names are… not clear. Just delete all the sso stuff unless you use it, set a secret and a db password (no special chars, nothing beyond 100 chars, in my testing/struggle; at least for the db), change the url to your fqdn otherwise it will go to localhost when you log out, and disable registration after you have done it yourself. Import/export from linkding to linkwarden (and I assume vice versa) is fine.
