Installation

Docker

• Copy the docker-compose.yml-sample to a directory somewhere
• Rename to docker-compose.yml and edit to your needs
  • In most cases, you only need to change the path to the /data mountpoint.
• Run docker-compose up -d

Packages (deb/rpm)

• Download the .deb or .rpm from the releases
• Install using apt/dpkg/rpm
  • Automatically creates a systemd service, enabled and started
  • Runs as user linkwallet
  • Database stored in /var/lib/linkwallet

Binary

• Download the appropriate binary from the releases page
• Install somewhere on your system
• Run ./linkwallet -db-path /some/path/xxxx.db where /some/path/xxxx.db is the location of your bookmarks database (will be created if it does not yet exist)

Source

• Checkout the code
• go build cmd/linkwallet/linkwallet.go

Using

linkwallet is a 100% web-driven app. After running, hit the web interface on port 8109 (docker using the sample docker-compose.yml) or 8080 (default on binary).

Change the port number by setting the PORT environment variable.

If you put linkwallet on a separate machine, or behind a reverse proxy, go into the config page and set the correct BaseURL parameter, or the bookmarklets will not work.

Roadmap

• More options when managing links
  • sorting
• More tag options
  • bookmarklet with pre-filled tags
  • search/filter on tags
