I used to store a lot of stuff I wanted to read in Pocket. Now I would like to find an open source alternative that I can self-host. The thing is: I don’t want to have to host a server-side application for it. I just want an app that can store my collected pages as static files in my Nextcloud. Does such a #readitlater app exist?

Je suis à la recherche d’un service #ReadItLater. Après Pocket, Instapaper et Raindrop, je n’arrive pas à être satisfait. Des conseils ? Suggestions ? Merci !
Continued thread
What do you use to save and organize bookmarks and other internet finds? It doesn’t necessarily have to be the same tool for articles/read it later and other types of links, I’m interested in both.
I would really like something that saves pages/articles offline, so that I can still read it even if the original link may no longer exist. A good integration in iOS would also be great, and preferably without AI (or possible to switch off) and FOSS and so on.
For articles I have used Pocket, Readwise Reader (good but too expensive), omnivore (was bought) in the past and am currently searching for an alternative.
For other links I’ve used the bookmark function in the browser (impractical for me and not offline), MyMind (good but too expensive and too much AI), and currently I’m trying Obsidian. Unfortunately, the Web Clipper on iOS does not work the way I would like and the use is quite cumbersome (if anyone can point me to tutorials or has advice I’d be happy to hear it)
Was nutzt ihr, um Lesezeichen und sonstige schöne Internet-Fundstücke zu speichern und organisieren? Es muss nicht unbedingt das gleiche Tool für Artikel/ReadItLater und andere Arten von Links sein, mich interessiert beides.
Ich hätte super gerne was, was Seiten/Artikel auch offline abspeichert, damit ich noch nachlesen kann auch wenn der originale Link vielleicht nicht mehr existiert. Eine gute Integration in iOS wäre auch super, und am liebsten ohne/abschaltbare AI und FOSS und so.
Für Artikel habe ich Pocket, Readwise Reader (gut aber zu teuer), omnivore (wurde aufgekauft) genutzt und bin gerade am suchen.
Für andere Links die Lesezeichen-Funktion im Browser (unpraktisch und nicht offline), MyMind (gut aber zu teuer und zu viel AI), und jetzt probiere ich gerade Obsidian. Leider funktioniert der Web Clipper auf iOS nicht so wie ich möchte und die Nutzung ist recht umständlich
Pocket will shut down July 8, 2025.
Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?
As @TechCrunch said few months ago, @wallabag « is a strong competitor with article-saving tools and features as good as what Pocket offers. »

wallabag.it · Which alternative to Pocket should I choose?With Pocket shutting down, what’s next for read-it-later fans? For years, Pocket has been a service for saving articles to read later—clean interface, multi-device syncing, and offline access. So when Mozilla announced it was discontinuing Pocket, it sent many readers scrambling for an alternative.
If you’re wondering where to go next, you’re not alone. Let’s explore the best options—and why wallabag.it might be your best choice.
Some alternatives Several services have been present in the “read-it-later” ecosystem for many years:

For several years my work flow has been to have feeds in Feedly and save articles to Pocket to read later.
With @mozilla killing Pocket, I'm wondering if @wallabag would actually serve as a replacement for both.
I'd be curious to hear any comments or experiences from folks. I'll be trying it out this week regardless, but I'd still love any tips given what my work flow has been.

This is what I’ve been building for the last 10 weeks!
I'm really enjoying Wallabag! I just love how clean and neat this is. I’m hoping to use it for decades—especially as more and more websites vanish from the web!
CacheaCacheaCachea is a managed Wallabag hosting service, designed for privacy conscious readers who want an ad-free way to save and read web articles.
Als jahrelanger PowerUser von Pocket und als FanBoy von #Obsidian kann ich mit Nachdruck sagen: Ein Vergleich ist wie Äpfel mit Toastbrot - klar kann man beides essen. Als #Pocket-Ersatz funktioniert es leider nur, wenn man innerhalb eines Cloud-Universums bleibt oder nur ein Device hat und wenn man es als App installieren kann.
Ließe Obsidian z.B. auf iOS zu, die Dateien auf beliebige Netzwerke (NextCloud,…) zu speichern, sähe die Sache besser aus.

Our servers are OK, thank you so much to my great sys admin @framasky!
Some data about wallabag.it and Pocket shutdown.
- Almost 1M new articles saved (you already saved almost 22M since december 2016)
- 1100 new accounts
- 100 new customers
- a lot of toots and emails

Wie das im Netzleben so ist, der nächste Dienst des eigenen Workflows wird abgewickelt. Nun ist es Pocket. Ab 08. Juli 2025 ist der Service inaktiv (Zeit für den Export), Anfang Oktober sind dann die Inhalte weg!
Für mich war #Pocket nicht essentiell aber praktisch, hat viele Jahre zuverlässig gearbeitet und vor allem nicht genervt – schade darum.
Im Sinne von #unplugTrump werde ich auf eine selbstgehostete Lösung umsteigen.

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:
Hardware & OS
- Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
- OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech
Infrastructure & Networking
- Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
- Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
- DNS: #Cloudflare
- Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
- Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity
Security & Monitoring
- Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
- Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
- Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
- Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
- Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools
Authentication & Identity Management
- Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
- LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
#AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement
Productivity & Personal Tools
- Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
- Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
- Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
- Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
- Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
- Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
- Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking! #CookingApps
- RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
- Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
- Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
- File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
- Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
- IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
- Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater
Notifications & Development Workflow
- Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
- Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote
Accessibility Focus ️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
- Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
- Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services!
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

Salut les Mastos ! Y a des gens qui utilisent #Obsidian pour la prise de note / wiki perso ?
Je voulais tester le web Clipper https://obsidian.md/clipper mais sous Firefox Linux il a pas l'air de bien fonctionner, j'arrive pas à dire à mon Firefox d'ouvrir les liens type obsidian:// que ça génère
Sinon si vous avez d'autres outils open source de type "je sauvegarde le contenu d'une page web" / #readItLater je prends aussi. Pour mes articles perso j'ai mon cher #Wallabag mais là c'est pour le boulot, je cherchais une autre app pour pas tout mélanger parce que mon Wallabag déborde (oui j'ai trop de veille techno en retard xD

ObsidianObsidian Web ClipperHighlight and capture web pages in your favorite browser. Save anything and everything with just one click.
I became disillusioned with Pocket after they discontinued social sharing of saved articles. Now I'm just after migrating to Wallabag for my article reading. It's actually remarkably great.
It has full-text search out of the box, and pretty much all the same features as Pocket premium, but doesn't trap you in Yet Another Subscription. It does imports from major bookmarking players and browser bookmarks, and also has a decent API.

I’m looking for another bookmarking/save later service. Currently playing around with Hoarder but not set on it.
What does everyone think about these ones? Which one should I pick?
Whatever one you pick, let me know why in the comments. I’d like to know pros/cons.
Please BOOST for a wider audience and results.
Anybody have any good suggestions for a read-it-later app since Omnivore is shutting down in two weeks?
