Why people self-host Karakeep
Karakeep saves bookmarks, articles, notes, and screenshots in a single archive. It is useful when the line between bookmarking and read-it-later is blurry.
The tradeoff is a newer stack with more moving parts than Wallabag. Watch worker jobs, object storage, and browser extension behavior during rollout.
Deployment notes
Karakeep is listed with support signals for linux, docker. Check the upstream documentation before exposing it to the internet, review authentication defaults, and keep backups outside the primary host.
