What is Django-link-archive?
Django-link-archive is a self-hosted personal link database and RSS aggregator built with Django. It lets you collect and organize bookmarks from RSS feeds (YouTube, Reddit, Odysee, OPML), IMAP email servers, and web crawling into a searchable archive with tags, comments, and voting. The web UI offers standard list, gallery, and search-engine views with light/dark themes. It supports automatic exports to GitHub or local directories, YouTube video downloading via yt-dlp, and link rot analysis. The stack runs on PostgreSQL with RabbitMQ and Celery for background tasks, and includes a companion crawler service (crawler-buddy). Installation is via Docker Compose or manual Poetry setup, and the author reports it runs on a Raspberry Pi 5. The project is licensed under GPL-3.0.
