About Versions (65)

Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager that lets you collect, read, annotate, and fully preserve webpages in one place. It automatically captures a screenshot, PDF, and readable copy of every link so your bookmarks survive even if the original page disappears. Links can be organized into collections and tags, and shared or worked on together with a team, making it a self-hosted alternative to services like Raindrop.io, Pocket, and Instapaper.

Linkwarden Docker Compose example

Self-host Linkwarden on your own server, homelab, or VPS starting from this Docker Compose example. It runs Linkwarden in Docker containers using the official ghcr.io/linkwarden/linkwarden:latest, postgres:16-alpine, getmeili/meilisearch:latest images, with persistent volumes and automatic restarts preconfigured. Review the environment variables and adjust them to your setup, save the file as compose.yml (or docker-compose.yml), and start the stack with docker compose up -d.
