Still a work in progress, but even at this stage, I hope it can help you and anyone you know who has been affected by the Pocket shutdown.
Love the list, just a quick callout, these are pretty resource light services for self hosting, even $5/month seems like a stretch.
If you’re already running a server, the added overhead for a bookmark manager has got to be fractional watts, especially of you’re not bookmarking constantly.
If you’re doing a standalone server just for this, these can more than likely be hosted on a Raspberry Pi which uses 5W under load (maybe $1/mo under heavy load), and are incredibly lean when idle (pennies/month).
I do think your post does a good job making people think about the hidden costs of self hosting, but done right self hosting energy can be greatly reduced
I would love to see one, and please tell me if I missed it in the list, that keeps bookmarks in a git repo. I don’t need the read it later aspect just the link.
If you just want to keep track of your bookmarks using git, floccus can do that.
Thanks. Def checking this out.
Thanks for this. I was already using Inoreader (with a Supporter subscription) and they made it easy to grab my Pocket content.
Now the only thing I need to figure out is what I’ll do as a replacement to the Kobo + Pocket integration.
I could be missing something but I never see Karakeep when the pocket shutdown is being mentioned. I’m curious ppl don’t know or don’t like karakeep?
Thank you to everyone who commented! I’m digesting all of what has been said and will be adjusting the guide as I can. If you’re able, donations are welcome! (See link on the site)
