Does anyone know if there is a self-hosted bookmark manager that has integration with Firefox/Chrome/Brave where I can import all my bookmarks?

I use floccus. Works with nextcloud or any webdav, even gdrive.
I also use floccus. It‘s good for what it is, but I‘m still searching for something that would allow me to easily reorganize this huge pile of bookmarks I‘ve accumulated.
I have done it this way with Vivaldi:
Sync to Browser
Reorganize in the Browser via drag n drop
Sync back again
It took about 1,5 hours but you only do this once.
Ah, nice, thank you for sharing. Does Vivaldi offer some good sorting capabilities?
It offers a good bookmark manager. Easy to create folders and subfolders, drag n drop works smoothly and I think Vivaldi is the best chromebased briwser. I use it on all devices, Windows, Fedora and Android 😊
Thank you, I will give it a try.
This is the way

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

My first good bot of the fediverse goes to you, you good bot.
I use Linkding. Imported all bookmarks from browser and added tags. Helps me find stuff later. Search is also good. My bookmark bar in the browser is now only for quickly accessing the stuff I need daily.
Linkding also has Firefox and Chrome extensions for bookmarking and injector for search engines (Google, DDG, SearX/SearXNG, Brave.
Don’t mind me, just testing acronym detection.
NAS, PiHole, MQTT
I just selfhost the Firefox sync which then synchronizes my Firefox bookmarks to all the laptops, desktops and mobile phones.
Woah thats so cool. I didn’t know this was a thing at all! Thanks for sharing. :)
Am I wrong in assuming that this only works with Firefox and isn’t available to sync other browsers?
No, you’re correct, this only works with Firefox. And this is one of the reasons why I’m staying on Firefox both on mobile and browser.
Didn’t knew that was possible… seems not easy to set-up :/ is also an old article, you sure this still works?
Ah yeah the article is quite old and it got much easier to set up, see: https://mozilla-services.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html
The important thing is to understand that there is Firefox Account and Firefox Sync. You can self host both of them, self hosting Sync is very easy, Accounts is very difficult. Sync depends on Accounts. But you can use Mozillas Accounts and your own Sync. This way you use their server to log into your own sync server. Your passwords, history, etc. are only stored on your own Sync server.
Thank you :) Will look at it, right now I’m happy with selfhosted linkding, but I really miss the native bookmarking way of firefox (tags, folder, subfolders, keywords.)
Does it also sync other data? Like saved passwords, history, settings, etc.?
Yes
Damn. It might be the best solution I’ve seen yet. I don’t think the NextCloud app does all that.
Thus is not part of Nextcloud as far as I know, just the sync server written in python.
If you already have a Nextcloud, theirs is solid
I have started doing something completely different than using bookmarks. I set up yacy on a personal, internal server at my home, which I can access from all my devices, since they are always on my wireguard vpn.
Yacy is actually a distributed search engine, but I run in ‘Robinson mode’ as a private peer, to keep it isolated, as I just want a personal search of only sites I have indexed.
Anytime I come across something of interest, I index it with yacy, using a a depth of 0 (since I only want to index that one page, not the whole site). This way, I can just go to my search site, and search for something, and anything related that I’ve indexed before pops up. I found this works way better than trying to manage bookmarks with descriptions and tags.
Also, yacy will keep a cache of the content which is great if the site ever goes offline or changes.
If I need to browse, I can go use yacy’s admin tools to see all the urls I have indexed.
I have been using this for several months and I am using this way more than I ever used my bookmarks.
I use Linkding, which even as an android workaround for mobile. I have no idea if it works with brave, but does work with Firefox/chrome !
It’s pretty cool piece of software, but something it’s missing is a way to groupe tags together or have some folder structure.
If you don’t have a tag structure beforehead, your tags can quickly get messy :/!
What do you mean by a workaround for Android? Do you mean to get the extension working on mobile Firefox or something else?
Yeah, because there isn’t a native linkding app for android there is a way to make it work in firefox, with HTTP shortcut
See here
It works flawlessly and never had any issue with it.
it works with brave
I am using linkding for my bookmarks. Used LinkAce before. linkding is perfect for my minimalistic taste. I just miss having an app for it. There’s an app for linkding for iOS, though.
I’m also looking into this a bit as I’m ditching Nextcloud and need a more modulare approach to managing the three things i care about: calendards, files and bookmarks. Sorted calendars with Radicale (superb) and files with Syncthing but now looking at the bookmarks. This (https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted?tab=readme-ov-file#bookmarks-and-link-sharing) has several solutions proposed. lingding and linkwarden seem to be good and reasonable active on Github. Anyone compared these?
I have tested both lingding and linkwarden. Lingding was easy to use and did the basics in bookmark management. Though I settled on linkwarden for its saving of webpages in different formats with folder and subfolder organisation in the UI.
Both are good options, but linkwarden seem to be more power user focused.
xBrowserSync. Has browser addons and phone apps. You can use public instances, or self-host.
