LinkBoard is an open-source, local-first personal link bin. Paste a URL to save it with its title and description, search saved links, and copy or open them later.
With Docker and Docker Compose installed:
docker compose up --build -dOpen http://127.0.0.1:3000. Links are stored in the persistent
linkboard-data Docker volume.
git clone https://github.com/joonfjp/linkboard.git
cd linkboard
npm ci
npm startOpen http://127.0.0.1:3000. Saved links are written to data/links.json.
Back up that file if the collection matters to you.
