Linkwarden Hosting

1. Open your pod URL and create the first account from the registration page.
2. Create a collection, then add a link manually or install a browser extension.
3. Import an existing bookmark file if you have one, and review the collection's sharing and preservation settings.

After creating the accounts you need, set NEXT_PUBLIC_DISABLE_REGISTRATION=true in the pod's environment settings to close self-service registration. See the environment-variable guide for this and email settings.

No. PikaPods sets up and runs Linkwarden for you, including OS and app updates and HTTPS. You won't touch Docker or a server. Your files and database stay accessible if you ever want to move them elsewhere.

Linkwarden offers browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox and Safari, plus iOS and Android apps. Configure the client with your pod's URL and your Linkwarden account; the apps page links to the current downloads. The web app remains available on any modern browser.

No. Linkwarden can use a local AI model to analyze saved pages and assign tags. Enable it under Settings > Preferences; manual tags and search work without it. Administrators can instead configure supported external AI providers, whose account and usage charges are separate. See the AI tagging guide and provider settings.

Set up incremental backups to S3 in your pod settings for automatic nightly snapshots, or download your files and database yourself. We keep whole-server backups for server failures, but they aren't a per-pod restore service, so your own backup is what protects your data.

You can use Linkwarden instead of Raindrop.io and Pinboard. PikaPods runs it for you, and you can move your files and database elsewhere.

Both organize bookmarks into collections, with tags and sharing. Raindrop.io is a hosted service with polished apps, and paid features for permanent copies. Linkwarden preserves pages on your pod, adds highlights and annotations, and invites collaborators. Check how full-text search behaves on your pod if you rely on it, as it depends on another service.

No. You add prepaid credit and your pods are billed by the hour from that balance, rounded up to full hours. There are no contracts or minimum terms: delete a pod anytime and billing stops. Optional automatic top-ups keep your pods running without manual payments.

You do. And you're in full control. If you ever want to download, migrate, edit or delete your data, just enable file and database access for your pod and it will be right there.
