I feel like "docker as the preferred installation method" is a dealbreaker for me. This means that either the dependency situation is out of control, or the author just doesn't want to think about it, but either way it's a no from me...

- People who use Docker (Compose) can easily get up and running with a project in minutes
- People who dislike/don’t use Docker can at least use the Dockerfile and Docker Compose file as a reference to learn how to install the dependencies and the service itself.

What don't you like about a project needing dependencies?
For example, a study on this was recently conducted for PyPI. https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.11021

Docker is not without complications, but it alleviates far more problems than it causes. I get annoyed when something is released and doesn't have an official Dockerized version. Especially when it's a web service.
I'm a Python/Ruby/Javascript developer, and I don't want any part of those installed except on my dev machine. Unfortunately Python has infested too much of Ubuntu to avoid.

Beats the tar out of the obnoxious curlpipe pattern anyway.
Right now I use xbrowsersync. It's got major problems, like sometimes (always?) breaking the ability to add bookmarks at all when sync isn't working, having to authenticate with a long-ass sync ID that you can't possibly remember, and not remembering recently-used bookmark folder order. But it works on the browsers I use and can be self-hosted. I'd love an alternative with a better UI that fully integrates with the browser (in my case ungoogled Chromium).
Why did browsers fail when it comes to bookmark management? I mean seriously, it is arguably one of the most important features for organising your digital life and the best that a browser vendor can do is “folders”? This has always baffled me. Who enjoys opening their bookmarks and seeing 500 links in an unordered list? Metadata has been a thing for how long now, and yet no browser that I know of has gone ahead and…
But what you really need is a google-like, or even better, LLM-powered search for the locally cached text of the pages you bookmark. README for this software mentions fuzzy search, not sure if it's capable enough.

This. I also edit the bookmark title to include a bunch of keywords. Finding an article I have only a vague recollection of on the wide web can be hard, but finding it in my bookmarks is easy. I was a big del.icio.us user back in the day, maybe self hosting something like the OP is the way to go.

Chances are good that, unless you're James Joyce, folks will read through the entirety of your statement to draw inflection from what you've conveyed. When you don't agree with the parent comment, have you kicked things off with, "Not this" or, more succinctly, "!This"…

For what it's worth, I gave up on all external bookmark tools and went back to using Firefox's built-in bookmark manager. I enjoy that it's a CTRL+B away to see all my bookmarks, and that I'm able to sync it with my Firefox account.
With a s* for brains search. It fails to search anything, even it's own folders! or parts of the url. or the tags that gets added and removed from the UI every now and then and are ignored in search. heck there's a 18yr old bug about performance being so bad in this search that if you have over 1k bookmarks it will just hang for several seconds. edit: that said, i also use firefox bookmarks exclusively, but just for…

There is a belief that risk of vulnerabilities introduced by insecure package ecosystems goes up with the number of dependencies. For example, a study on this was recently conducted for PyPI. https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.11021
An updated Docker environment is pretty secure I think.
