After getting burned by Pocket, I moved everything into a self-hosted setup.

Current stack:

• FreshRSS for feed ingestion
• Readeck for actual reading
• Linkwarden for long-term storage

Running on Docker Swarm behind Traefik, internal-only. Remote access via WireGuard.

A few gotchas that took longer than expected:

• Readeck container entrypoint pointing at /readeck (dir) instead of /bin/readeck
• Linkwarden auth issues due to build-time NEXT_PUBLIC_* vars
• Had to seed the first user manually in Postgres with bcrypt
• Internal SMTP relay quirks between services

It’s definitely more work than SaaS, but the upside is ownership.

Curious what others are using for this now. I considered Wallabag but opted for Readeck, even tho the Readeck Android app has a crash loop right now (for me).
