I recently installed LinkDing on my Nomad cluster, and I am exceedingly pleased with it.

LinkDing is a self-hosted bookmark manager. My setup is using the official Docker container, with a dynamic host volume to ensure the DB doesn’t go poof when I inevitably need to restart the task.

The core features that I care about are:

• Official container, meaning I don’t need to build my own or rely on someone else to package up the app and build something that might not work properly
• Documented API, allowing me to fold, spindle, and mutilate my data however I want, with whatever workflows I want now or in the future
• Tags
• sqlite database, which simplifies backups considerably
• PWA for mobile, meaning I don’t need a separate app on my phone

Spinning up the container was extremely simple, and required almost no effort. It’s built in Django, which means if I really need to get my hands dirty, I have the relevant experience to debug and make PRs for it. The Django admin is also nice for fixing low-level data issues, such as “I really should have made these tags properly cased, I need to modify the tag name itself”.
