Toot

Migrated my self-hosted FreshRSS (RSS aggregator) and Linkding (bookmark storage) from my local server to the cloud to reduce outages and got a nice speed boost in the process.

@gingerbeardman linkding and miniflux have both been solid for me when hosted locally but cloud-accessible through an nginx reverse proxy, which itself reaches my local server though tailscale.

It’s been solid for me given the number of moving pieces, but of course everyone’s network situation is different.

Linkding is the absolute best and I depend on it constantly

@josh miniflux I had an unresolved issue with things not being marked as read, so I just stuck with FreshRSS that I use with ReadKit app.

Linkding is very good, but took a good few issues and PRs to get there over years. I should upload the macOS app I created to submit bookmarks to Linkding, so other people can use it. (I'm using Linkdy on iOS.)

@josh reason I moved from self-hosting to cloud is that I'm about to decommission the old server

@gingerbeardman Yup I’ve made some small contributions to linkding as well!

On iOS I use a shortcut to send Safari contents to the linking “add” page, and have also assigned the to the iPhone’s action button. I also have xSearch installed and use “l” as a keyword to search linkding in Safari.

The combination of those two are much faster for me on iOS than linkdy, but I’m still glad there’s also a native app option!

@josh please send me the shortcut! And tell me more about xSearch. I only started using Linkdy this week, before that I was using Bookmark Companion. I'd prefer a native share sheet but entering bookmark tags quickly is my goal

@gingerbeardman It’s actually two shortcuts. There’s a base one you can invoke directly: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/3071b4c12e3a4b6bb66fd1946184c0fc

And this one which calls the first one, which is what I use with the action button: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/29b949f9b24c4339b6dfc547b3938ec4

@gingerbeardman to be honest I could probably combine these into one shortcut, make the server hostname a setup parameter, then open a linkding issue/PR to get it added to official documentation

@gingerbeardman You don’t need the apps for the shortcut! Totally unrelated. The shortcut is for adding, the apps are for searching

@gingerbeardman xSearch and Keyword Search are iOS apps that use similar hacks to hijack search queries you type and do URL substitution with the typed input if the input starts with prefixes you define. It’s like quick searches in desktop browsers, but in iOS Safari.
