Self Hosted Automatic Bookmark Backup and Synchronization

  Floccus is a great option with different sync sources and works across browsers

    Yes, this is the best option if you are running a Nextcloud anyways. Although I have also been running it nicely with the more lightweight github.com/kd2org/karadav but then you don’t have the Nextcloud app to manage your bookmarks more easily.

      To sync with Floccus you don’t need that webserver, that thing is very customized to deal with Nextcloud bullshit.

      A simple nginx setup with this will get the job done:

          root /mnt/SSD1/web/root;
          location /dav/bookmarks {
              alias /mnt/SSD1/web/dav/bookmarks;
              auth_basic              realm_name;
              auth_basic_user_file    /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list;
              dav_methods     PUT DELETE MKCOL COPY MOVE;
              dav_ext_methods PROPFIND OPTIONS;
              dav_access      user:rw;
              client_max_body_size    0;
              create_full_put_path    on;
          }
      

      The file /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list stores authentication data. You can create users with the following command:

      htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.credentials-dav.list yourusername
      

      Enjoy.

    Been using that for some time. No real issues at all. Seems to just work once you got it set up properly.

    Thank you, I will have to check that one out. My next endeavor was going to be to make my own Firefox and chrome extensions and create my own docker container for syncing.

      Not sure it’s worth the effort to recreate the wheel when Floccus is FOSS and uses your destination of choice.

      If anything I’d throw up Nextcloud into docker and set that as the source for Floccus

  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.

  Have you tried github.com/jeena/fxsync-docker? It is a docker compose for selfhosting of 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.
