There are a ton of selfhosted bookmark syncing and managing solutions.
In addition to https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#bookmarks-and-link-sharing I found these:
- Betula - https://sr.ht/~bouncepaw/betula/
- Linkwallet - https://github.com/tardisx/linkwallet
- Nextcloud Bookmarks - https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/bookmarks (Only makes sense when you’ve already set up Nextcloud)
- Postmarks - https://github.com/ckolderup/postmarks
- xBrowserSync - https://www.xbrowsersync.org/
I’m sure there are a ton more out there.
Basically all I want is to sync and somewhat categorize/tag bookmarks across my devices. Website archival, sharing and multi-user support is optional.
Going by GitHub stars I guess using Floccus with LinkWarden or Karakeep is the way to go?

This still relies on Mozilla’s login servers, so not fully selfhosted unfortunately.
It seems like you can selfhost the whole FxA stack in theory, but I haven’t found much documentation for it.
Yeah, “make a 100% selfhost mozilla sync” is about number 12 on my long list of cool tech projects I swear I am going to get to.
EDIT: But seriously in terms of low effort and high security (due to E2E and relatively high number of eyes on Mozilla sources) it hits the sweet spot for me. Even though yes Mozilla and its advertisers know when and from what IP addresses I login to Mozilla services.
