Linkding

A minimal, fast, self-hosted bookmark manager with tagging, full-text search, automatic snapshotting, and a browser extension for saving links.

Target: Any Docker hostProductivityOfficial homepage ↗Official docs ↗
This guide is synthesized from Linkding's own official documentation, linked above — always cross-check exact package/version names there before running these commands on a production server, since distro and project versions move over time.

  1. 1Get the compose and env files

    Download docker-compose.yml from the repo, then copy .env.sample to .env and adjust settings as needed.

  2. 2Start linkding

    docker-compose up -d

  3. 3Create your account

    docker-compose exec linkding python manage.py createsuperuser --username=joe [email protected]

    Alternatively, set LD_SUPERUSER_NAME (and related LD_SUPERUSER_* env vars) to auto-create the account on first startup instead of running this manually.

  4. 4Log in

    open http://localhost:9090
