I’m looking for a self-hosted alternative for Omnivore. To keep it short and sweet, I’m looking for an app that I can subscribe to RSS feeds from and maintain Reader Mode-esque archives of news articles and interesting things I’ve read. Obsidian integration would be nice but is not a priority; however, the ability to save from Android is a must.
Hoarder is something I’ve recently spun up on my home server but despite looking great, it doesn’t do what I’d like it to do. Clicking on an article doesn’t present me with a Reader Mode archive, it takes me to the actual webpage; I have to click on something else to get the cached version (and even then, it doesn’t format things in the way I’d like). I feel this order of operations should be reversed. On the mobile app, you can’t even access the cached version.
I’ve used Wallabag before, but disliked the mobile interface. I wasn’t self-hosting, however, so I’m not sure the difficulty level for it. Barring finding anything better, I’ll likely try and self-host Wallabag.
Shiori looks fantastic but I’d rather not resort to using Termux on my Android phone to share content. No mobile app makes it difficult.
Any suggestions?
SOLVED
Following numerous suggestions, I spun up a FreshRSS container and will be looking into both Shiori (which has a third-party mobile app) and Linkwarden. Thanks, everyone!

I agree with others that you need to break down these requirements into multiple apps. I use FreshRSS for feeds and it has a bunch of mobile app integrations.
And the most recent update of Linkwarden seems to have a ton of features that might be worth your while, including PDF, screenshot, and Readable caching.
I just spun up a FreshRSS container and it is working flawlessly for that purpose so far. I appreciate the suggestions.
I have started downloading websites as markdown files and then syncing them with syncthing.
Maybe FreshRSS with some extensions?
I saw a recent commit to fire an event when saving a favorite, so probably you can get an extension to send the link to something like archivebox for the pages you favorite.I’ve just fiddled with an already created extension, but they seem fairly simple to create your own easily.
Of course you can inject JS so you could make it more complex if you want.Not sure if you were aware, you can run a minimal selfhosted Omnivore setup. Not sure if it will meet your needs or not
It’s hosted, but not self-hosted.
By curiosity, what are you trying to say ?
The directions specifically lead through using a docker host and an elastic search host, But there’s certainly no reason you couldn’t just do that on your own.
So the title of the blog post is incorrect? I didn’t look at it super closely so apologies if I’m incorrect
The “minimal” part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don’t leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.
Maybe Linkwarden? Not reader oriented but it supports it and has an App.
I’m finding Linkwarden to be pretty helpful
I was just looking at this, actually. For a moment I thought it was going to be a bust but then I saw there is a preference option to open the readable form of a page by default. I also love PWAs…
