How to choose self-hosted Bookmarks and Link Sharing software
- Check project health. Stars show popularity, not maintenance. Open the source repository and look at recent commits and releases.
- Match the licence to your use. 11 use a GPL-family licence (copyleft, including AGPL) and 8 use a permissive licence such as MIT, Apache-2.0 or BSD. AGPL matters if you modify the software and offer it to others over a network.
- Pick a stack you can run. The most common platforms here are Docker (11), PHP (5), Nodejs (4) and Go (3). Docker is usually the easiest path for a home server or VPS.
- Try before you migrate. Use a live demo where one exists (7 here), or a throwaway container first, and confirm it can import your existing data before switching.
