Sir, where have you been? I've been looking for exactly this, a self-hosted pinboard clone. A look and feel like miniflux [1] - there's something timeless about it. I also appreciate the public frontend. This looks like a great project. Have you sensed a need to add postgres/mysql support or perhaps that's overkill? Any plans to implement archiving?

I would love details on a docker build for my own homelab. I don't know Haskell, but perhaps it's time to tinker with something new.

Thanks! I agree minimal is best.

SQLite's been excellent. Postgres wouldn't be hard to switch to in the future but I don't think I need it yet.

My initial need was met by delegating archiving to http://archive.li . Click the green checkbox next to the bookmark to access the archived page . While not a full mirror, I like having them as the permanent custodian.

I'll probably work on getting a release up that doesn't require a build from source such as docker or bits pretty soon.

here's the docker info https://github.com/jonschoning/espial-docker

also, let's be honest - the kinds of folks running self hosted software are devs and techies, and no one in the open source self hosted space is feeding their family on these tools.

In that context open source should be like a bazaar where we share ideas and compete a bit, and see what works, and learn from each other. Let a thousand flowers bloom; we aren't talking about seed rounds here.
