Nope, everything is 1, 2, 3, etc. There’s no hint of what they contain.

If filenames took a simple version of the “name” set for each link, it would work be perfect.

Obviously, it could be even more useful to someone using tags if that were included in the filename, too. But just knowing what the PDF has in it would make the files useful outside linkwarden (i.e. in a document manager or system search).

Been using the self-hosted version for a few months(?) and like it.

My biggest concern when committing to something like this is data portability.

I do appreciate that it saves copies of PDF and PNG files in structured folders on my NAS, but I wish the file names matched what they have captured rather than 1.pdf, 2.pdf, etc.

It would instantly make Linkwarden 100% more useful to me.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve never played Wordle, but I got this up and running on my Synology NAS in a few minutes and solved my first one :)

Is there a measurable, real-world effect? Because if so, I don’t see it, and I can max out my router’s bandwidth pretty easily without noticing any slowdowns (this is with 30+ devices across three different SSIDs).

I’m not sure that I understand the “more noise and energy consumption” part, since we’re still talking about the same router with the same connected devices.

But I do have multiple SSIDs on my router. One is explicitly for IoT devices, and they don’t have network access, so they are isolated from my computers, NAS, etc.

Was this on a self-hosted install?

I’m not seeing any calls to *.rustdesk.com when I’m starting, stopping, or using a self-hosted version on Windows.

Or is it calling from home via the docker container?😵

Was using AnyDesk (until it went to shit), then Teamviewer (before they went to shit) and a ton of other VNC and remote desktop options, but did finally land on self-hosting RustDesk.

It’s been VERY solid and reliable for me, but what you just brought up concerns me.

I checked my filter log (from Adguard on Windows) to see if Rustdesk is calling home, and I’m not seeing anything after multiple connections and several hours of use. I guess these things aren’t a concern with the self-hosted deployment?

In all honestly, I migrated all my Evernote data to Synology Notes.

I do still use Synology Notes, however, I’ve also made it a point to separate certain things like receipts (something I used Evernote for) to plain PDF files organized in a file folder structure for better data portability.

Synology global search is pretty great, so it will read inside of PDF documents, and I haven’t had any issues with finding large amounts of data when needed.

I do miss Evernote, but I got sick and tired of their constantly increasing prices and making their software worse. And I used Evernote from the very beginning… even got a shirt! But self-hosting, while adding a few extra hoops to jump through to get working, is the best thing ever.

That’s the real issue I have with any note taking software is the data portability or lack of. Even Synology Notes will be a challenge to migrate away from (if I ever do), so anything that doesn’t need to go there gets put somewhere else! But Notes has been seamless to use and “just works” for my needs.

My first real NAS was a Synology 920+, which I’m still using after several years. I knew nothing about NAS’, and it’s been amazing!

I’m self-hosting numerous applications via docker; have replaced quite a few paid services (google drive, Evernote, etc.); and it’s already come in handy to retrieve deleted documents from my wife’s computer (several times!), which we back up to the NAS.

My only real suggestion is to go with as many bays as possible. Mine is a 4-bay, and I’ve already filled AND upgraded the capacity of several drives. I wish I had gone with 6 or 8 bays, but I really had no idea that my NAS would be this versatile.

I do also have an 4-bay external HDD enclosure, but it only serves to make local backups of my NAS. I see my NAS as the main hub, and place for ALL of my data, so external drives are either feeding data to my NAS or storing backups.

1. I connect HDDs and even an action camera to the USB port when I need to make backups of my NAS, or to copy data into my NAS. I haven’t needed to reformat anything just to work with the NAS.
2. my docker use is pretty basic: rss aggregator, podcast storage, bookmark storage, etc.
3. Drives don’t make any noise, other than the typical “HDD read/write” noise that you’d get from a spinning HDD. The fan can be adjusted to different levels, and rarely do I ever notice them.
4. I expect any NAS to last as long as a typical desktop computer: at least 10 years. Drives can be swapped out and replaced when needed, but this is far easier to do the more bays you have, since you’ll have redundancy in at least one other drive. Theoretically, I can lose an entire drive and not lose any data. In fact, even upgrading a drive is very seamless, and the data gets rebuilt into the new drive. Pretty cool stuff.
5. I don’t use syncthing. On my computers, I’ll sync/backup local files to the NAS using Synology drive. On my phone, I have Synology Photos backing up photos and videos, and Synology Drive backing up my “documents” folder. I do also use SMBSync2 (Android) to copy music files from my NAS to my phone, so I can listen offline.

I’ve never been in a situation where I needed insurance to replace all my stuff, and hope I never do.

My priority are lives (people, pets, etc.), and data that can’t be replaced.

The high value items are important to replace, because I couldn’t afford to replace them all at once.

For stuff like clothing, if I had to replace it all, I’d probably take the minimalist route and get the bare minimums. I’d probably prefer that, even if EVERYTHING could be replaced.

I tend to keep things simple. I’ll keep a folder with high value items listed in their own sub folder.

I’ll keep a copy of the receipt; photos of the serial number and UPC; depending on the item, I’ll have photos of it; and a text document with the warranty period listed.

It’s easy enough to find the right folder when I need it. And since it’s rare that I’ll need to retrieve this information, I don’t put any more effort into it than that.

It’s also significantly more expensive 😭

I started using it for podcasts!

Really easy to set up on a synology NAS.

Synology DiskStation Manager.

Fixed it!

So, there was a closed issue on github: https://github.com/linkwarden/browser-extension/issues/44

And the solution was to reconfigure the pull command to use “ghcr.io/linkwarden/linkwarden:latest” instead of “ghcr.io/linkwarden/linkwarden:main”

It loaded a more recent version of Linkwarded (totally different from the one it had originally) and the extension is working now :)

Extension is not available on FF in Android. How did you try that?

I’m using Iceraven, but if you visit the FF Add-on website and to to desktop mode, I can install pretty much any extension.

I’m not sure why it’s not working. I’ll continue to investigate why it’s not connecting.

Yeah, I’m doing that and it isn’t working on ff for windows or android.

I can log into the same address on my browser no problem.

Has anyone been able to get the Firefox extension to work with a self-hosted installation? It’s not accepting my login address.

FYI, if you have a synology NAS and want to self-host using the docker install, these instructions work: https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-linkwarden-on-your-synology-nas/

Unfortunately, some orgs I need to get information from ONLY use social media and twitter was the easiest to get working via RSS, but not anymore.

So incredibly frustrating that accessibility isn’t a consideration when picking a platform to update customers/residents/members.
