Why people self-host Wallabag
Wallabag is a mature read-it-later service focused on saving articles, cleaning reading views, tagging, and export. It is a practical Pocket replacement for readers who want their archive to survive product changes.
The tradeoff is a traditional web-app feel and some parsing variance. Test browser and mobile save flows before importing a large queue.
Deployment notes
Wallabag 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.
