Shaarli

Personal, minimalist, database-free bookmarking and link-sharing service

Alternative to: pinboard, delicious, raindrop.io

Shaarli is a personal, minimalist link-sharing and bookmarking service you install on your own server. It stores bookmarks without a database, in flat files, and lets you tag, search, and share links through a public or private timeline with RSS and Atom feeds. It is fast, lightweight, and works well as a simple self-hosted alternative to hosted bookmarking services.

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.
