Self-hosting wallabag gives you a private read-it-later archive that you control.
wallabag is free and open source software. You can install it on your own server, connect browser extensions and mobile apps, import from other services and keep your saved articles in your own infrastructure.
When self-hosting is a good fit
You want control
Your saved links, tags and reading archive live on an instance you manage.
You already run services
wallabag fits well if you are comfortable maintaining a web application, backups and upgrades.
You want open integrations
Use the web app, API, browser extensions, mobile apps, RSS readers and e-reader workflows.
Before installing
- Read the installation documentation.
- Decide where wallabag will run and how you will handle backups.
- Plan upgrades before importing a large reading archive.
- After installation, connect the apps and tools you want to use.
Hosted option
If you want wallabag without maintaining a server, wallabag.it is the hosted service. It includes upgrades, backups and support, and it is the simpler option for people who want the product without the administration work.
