Save links, articles and notes to your own Karakeep server: one-click Coolify install, root access, locations in Europe & America.
American ExpressWhat is Karakeep?
You read a great article, a recipe or a tutorial and want it back next month. Karakeep, the self-hosted bookmark manager formerly called Hoarder, saves links, notes, images and PDFs in one place, archives full pages against link rot and tags everything with AI. Full-text search finds an item even if you only remember one phrase. On your own VPS, Karakeep installs in one click through One-Click Apps and Coolify, with crawler and search index included.
Because the server is yours, so is the archive: no third party reads your saved pages, and nothing vanishes when a read-later service shuts down. Root access lets you put Karakeep on your own domain with HTTPS, connect an OpenAI key or run Ollama next to it for local tagging, and reach your data over SSH whenever you want an export. The iOS and Android apps and the browser extensions simply connect to your server's address.

Karakeep features
AI tags, full-text search and OCR keep thousands of links, notes and screenshots retrievable, while rules and RSS feeds fill your archive automatically.
Bookmarks land in the right list with the right tags, no manual sorting.
Find any saved page by a phrase you remember, not only by its title.
New saves get tags and summaries automatically, from a cloud API or your own model.
Screenshots and photos you save show up in search thanks to built-in OCR.
Follow your favorite blogs and new posts land in Karakeep on their own.
Jot a thought on your phone and find it next to the bookmark on desktop.

FAQ
Answers to the most important questions before you start.
Order a VPS, open One-Click Apps in the dashboard and choose Karakeep. Coolify then deploys the web app, the headless Chrome crawler and the Meilisearch search index as containers. When the deploy is done, open the address Coolify shows, create your admin account and start saving. If you prefer, you can still run your own Docker Compose stack over SSH. Learn more about One-Click Apps
It depends on what runs next to the web app. The headless Chrome crawler needs the most memory while it archives pages, the Meilisearch index grows with your archive, and a local Ollama model adds a lot on top. For a personal archive with a cloud AI key, a smaller plan is a good start. Plan for more RAM if you run Ollama on the same VPS or save large volumes.
Yes. The Karakeep apps for iOS and Android and the browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox let you enter your own server address. Point them to your domain or your VPS address, log in with your account, and every link you share or save lands directly in your archive on the VPS.
Yes. Karakeep can tag and summarize bookmarks with any OpenAI-compatible API: add your API key to the configuration and new saves are tagged automatically. If you want the AI to stay on your own server, run Ollama yourself on the same VPS or a second one and point Karakeep to it. AI tagging is optional; Karakeep works without it too.
Yes. Point an A record of your domain to the IP of your VPS and add the domain to the Karakeep service in Coolify. Coolify's proxy then requests a TLS certificate, so the web app, the mobile apps and the browser extensions reach your archive over HTTPS. Read the Coolify guide
Every VPS gets a daily automatic Backup at a fixed time set by the platform, included in your plan. With the ZapX Pass you can see these daily Backups and restore them, create your own manual Backups and snapshots, keep daily Backups longer depending on your Pass tier, and manage your Backup slots and storage limit. Karakeep itself can also export your bookmarks at any time.
Yes. Every VPS comes with full root access over SSH. You can inspect the Karakeep containers, read logs, export data, adjust environment variables or install additional tools such as Ollama next to Karakeep. First steps with SSH
Yes. When your archive, the search index or your AI setup needs more room, switch to a larger plan with more RAM, CPU cores and storage from the dashboard. Your Karakeep installation stays on the same VPS, so you continue right where you left off.
ZAP-Hosting offers VPS locations in Europe and America. Pick the one closest to you and the devices you save from, so the web app and mobile apps stay responsive. Many users in North America start with Ashburn, Dallas or Los Angeles. You see every available location when you configure your VPS.
Yes. You can cancel your VPS anytime in the dashboard. You pick the term length when you order, and a cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term. Export your bookmarks from Karakeep before the term ends if you want to keep them.
