Linkwarden is a self-hosted, open-source collaborative bookmark manager for collecting, organizing, and archiving webpages. It saves a screenshot and a PDF (Portable Document Format) copy of each page so saved content remains accessible if the original link breaks. It is useful for individuals and teams who want to share links and maintain a durable archive of web material.

First-install notes

  • Fill in required env settings first Before starting, set the environment variables (settings the app reads at startup): DATABASE_URL, NEXTAUTH_URL, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, MEILI_HOST, MEILI_MASTER_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_CONTENT_DOMAIN, and STORAGE_FOLDER. If they are missing or wrong, Linkwarden may not start, login may fail, or previews and search may break. source
  • Keep the storage folder safe STORAGE_FOLDER is where saved files and previews live, so point it at a folder you back up and keep permissions correct. If that folder is lost or inaccessible, your stored content can disappear. source
  • Run the worker process separately The worker is a separate background process that handles follow-up tasks after you save something. Deploy and run it as its own service; without it, queued work such as previews may never finish. source

Common questions

What startup settings should I check for a self-hosted Linkwarden instance?

Set DATABASE_URL, NEXTAUTH_URL, NEXTAUTH_SECRET, MEILI_HOST, MEILI_MASTER_KEY, NEXT_PUBLIC_USER_CONTENT_DOMAIN, and STORAGE_FOLDER before starting. Missing or wrong values can prevent startup, break login, or break previews and search.

Does self-hosted Linkwarden need a separate worker process?

Yes, run the worker as its own service because it handles queued follow-up tasks after saving, such as previews. Without it, those tasks may never finish.

Can self-hosted Linkwarden sync bookmarks from my browser?

Yes, you can sync browser bookmarks to Linkwarden using Floccus.

Can I save a webpage that is only visible after logging in?

Yes, you can upload a copy of the page from your browser when it is only accessible to you.
