With the shutdown of Pocket, users who relied on the service must transition to alternatives like Raindrop.io or consider self-hosting with ArchiveBox. ArchiveBox is an open-source tool that allows users to create their own article archiving system on their computers. It's available for Linux, MacOS, and can run in Docker containers, providing flexibility for installation. This article details how to set up ArchiveBox and hints at future guidance on migrating data from Pocket. Self-hosting offers users complete control and security over their archived content, protecting against potential service closures.
If a billion-dollar company like Mozilla can't be bothered to keep its Pocket archiving service running, it's something of a risk to rely on a lone developer.
Instead, how about self-hosting your own article archiving service on your own computer gear? That way, you own it all and nobody can shut it down.
ArchiveBox has native distributions for both Linux and MacOS. You can also run it as a Docker container on any device running Docker.
Basically, it's like a virtual machine (VM), but without the machine. When you set up a VM, you're configuring an entire computer emulator.
