Good morning, afternoon, or evening;
I am looking for a self hosted solution for Bookmark backup and synchronization. I just spun up a docker container for Linkding; don’t get me wrong this is awesome, but it is missing some things I would like to see in a bookmark backup solution.
A few key things I am looking for:
- Browser agnostic (at least firefox and chromium based browsers)
- Automatic backup/synchronization
- Integration with the browser’s built in bookmarks
Anyone have any suggestions?
I am looking to self host, and not looking for something like Xbrowsersync or Firefox Account syncing.
I am open to suggestions!
Thank you!
not looking for something like Xbrowsersync or Firefox Account syncing.
Firefox account can be self hosted, though!
I have read that, but then for my chrome instances on devices I sadly couldn’t easily sync with those. For instance I use a chromium based browser on my phone, but Firefox on my desktops/laptops. But I may look into self hosting my own Firefox setup.
Have you tried https://github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker? It is a docker compose for selfhosting the new Firefox sync server rewritten in Rust.

this requires a Firefox account so not fully self-hosted. In the README they tell this is for security reasons, but I’d just like to run this locally on my home network, so not much of a compromise there.
That’s quite sad because otherwise this would be perfect.
I’m curious why you’re not interested in xBrowsersync, if you’re willing to share. It does everything you’re looking for.
Have you looked at Shaarli?
not OP but it’s painfully slow when you have a large collection of bookmarks.
Well, I want the data to be my own. And that traffic won’t leave my home network, unless I am VPNed into my network. I don’t expose my services to the Internet because it’s just for me.
I have not. He ked out Shaarli but I am going to look now.
FYI, I host my own xbs server. It’s pretty easy on its own, but I use the d.rymcg.tech framework.
Didn’t realize there was a self host option for Xbrowsersync, thank you!
