Self-hosting a Pocket alternative using Readeck, Linkwarden, and Docker Swarm. (programming.dev)

After getting burned by Pocket, I moved everything into a self-hosted setup.

Current stack:

FreshRSS for feed ingestion
Readeck for actual reading
Linkwarden for long-term storage

Running on Docker Swarm behind Traefik, internal-only. Remote access via WireGuard.

A few gotchas that took longer than expected:

Readeck container entrypoint pointing at /readeck (dir) instead of /bin/readeck
Linkwarden auth issues due to build-time NEXT_PUBLIC_* vars
Had to seed the first user manually in Postgres with bcrypt
Internal SMTP relay quirks between services

It’s definitely more work than SaaS, but the upside is ownership.

Curious what others are using for this now. I considered Wallabag but opted for Readeck, even tho the Readeck Android app has a crash loop right now (for me).

Genuine question: why not just read on FreshRSS? What am I missing?

Not every site makes RSS available. Edit: and generally, I have so many RSS feeds, I'm scanning and looking for interesting things. At that point, I rarely have time to sit and read a long-form article. Rather than favorite it, mark it as unread or try to find it later, I send it to Readeck for when I'm ready to focus.
