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

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).

Not the OP but:

FreshRSS interface is kind of ugly (probably can be tweaked). You can use third party RSS readers, but that ends up being almost as much work as installing readeck and the like.
FreshRSS doesn't support OPDS or have any koreader integration, unlike readeck. These are essential features for reading on an e-ink reader, which is my preferred way to read longer articles in particular.
