These are both essentially selfhosted replacements for pocket.
Anyone try them and have experiences to share? The feature set seems similar.
I host Wallabag, besides the features already mentioned here, two others I use frequently and are crucial to my workflows are the following integrations:
Thanks it looks like Readdeck has Koreader integration too. Will look into Logseq.
I just set up Readeck a few weeks ago, and I’ve been liking it. Very minimalist, utilitarian. One feature I’d like that isn’t included is the ability to add specific labels or collections to the sidebar, but that’s my only quibble so far.
It has an official browser extension for adding urls to it, but if you can’t or don’t want to use that, it has a nice api. I use the api to add bookmarks from my phone using a termux-url-opener script, which is as easy as the extension - just hit the “share” button and select termux, and it does the rest.
I have no experience with Wallabag, but I have been pretty happy with Readeck. Skimming through Wallabag’s documentation, I would say they are pretty similar, while both have unique features. For example, Wallbag has annotations (you can only highlight in Readeck), and Android and iOS apps; whereas Readeck can export collections to eBooks and has RSS feeds for pretty much anything (all articles, unread, archives, collections, etc.)
Wallabag has the same RSS features and can export to several formats, epub included, but the annotation system is only supported in the web interface. Even the official android app doesn’t support it. No Wallabag client on any platform supports self signed certs so forget about anything but web UI if you run it on a closed LAN.
Because according to the devs it’s more secure to run a public facing server with a CA backed cert that on a closed LAN which I VPN into with a self-signed cert. Even a toggle to allow it is too dangerous.
The RSS feeds aspect of Readdeck is a really nice feature! Looks like they both can send from the browser directly (for paywalls).
I wonder if anyone could make a version of this with Bypass paywalls clean baked in for convenience.
I was really enjoying wallabag for a while, but after an update (or something?) the container no longer connects to the db and I haven’t been smart enough to figure out why yet.
BUT when it works it’s got a nice interface and the Firefox extension clips articles quickly. Biggest downside I’ve run into is the iOS app can’t make highlights or annotations, and it sometimes randomly reloads an article while reading and ‘forgets’ its place.

I am using wallabag since a long time (selfhosted). And I am loving it. With the Android app I can simply share to the app to save Websites from any Browser.
