What is Wallabag?
Wallabag extracts the readable content of a web page and stores it, so the article survives paywalls appearing, layouts changing and pages being deleted.
Browser extensions and mobile apps save with one click, and everything is full-text searchable and taggable afterwards.
What you get
- Content extraction that strips navigation, adverts and clutter
- Browser extensions for Firefox and Chrome, plus iOS and Android apps
- Tags, search and annotations across your saved library
- Export to EPUB, PDF, Mobi and plain text
Running Wallabag on Autogineer Cloud
Wallabag is a one-click install here: choose it at checkout, set a root password, and the server is built, the software installed and configured, and published on its own HTTPS address — usually in about a minute, with the whole build streamed to your browser as it runs.
- Installed and configured, not just downloaded. The build finishes only once Wallabag is answering on its port with a real page — a server that could not finish is reported as failed rather than handed over looking complete.
- A working HTTPS address from the first minute. Your server is published at an address like wallabag-vps.autogineer.com, with a valid certificate, so webhooks and OAuth callbacks work immediately. Your own domain can be added afterwards.
- Full root over SSH. The one-click install is a starting point, not a cage: you can reconfigure Wallabag, install anything beside it, or replace it entirely.
- Backups you can restore from. On-demand backups of the whole server on every paid plan, which for Wallabag means its data as well as its configuration.
- Room to grow. Resize the plan as Wallabag grows, or rebuild the same server with a different app when the project changes.
Who it suits
Anyone with a reading backlog who wants the articles to still be there in five years.
Getting started with Wallabag
- When the build finishes, your server's page in the dashboard shows its HTTPS address, its root password and any sign-in details the installer set for Wallabag. The build console streams every step as it happens, so you can see exactly what was installed rather than taking it on trust.
- Sign in with the credentials your dashboard shows, then install the browser extension and point it at your server. Saving your first article strips the clutter and keeps the text.
- Add your own domain from the same page when you are ready: point a DNS record at the server and the certificate is issued for you. The original address keeps working, so nothing you configured against it breaks.
- Take a backup once Wallabag is configured the way you want it. A backup captures the whole server, so restoring one brings back Wallabag and its data together — and it is the only thing that will bring them back.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a Pocket replacement?
That is exactly its purpose, with the difference that the archive is on your server and cannot be discontinued.
Can I import from another read-later service?
Yes, Wallabag imports from Pocket, Instapaper, Readability and its own exports.
How long does it take to install Wallabag?
About a minute. Choosing Wallabag at checkout builds the server, installs it, and publishes it on an HTTPS address, streaming the progress to your browser as it happens.
What size server does Wallabag need?
At least 1 vCPU, 1 GB of memory and 10 GB of disk, which is the Starter plan or larger. These are the figures the installer is tested against rather than the smallest configuration that will boot.
Do I get root access to the server?
Yes. Every server includes full root access over SSH on its own port, so you can configure, extend or replace anything the one-click installer set up.
Can I use my own domain with Wallabag?
Yes. Each server is published on its own HTTPS address the moment it is built — wallabag-vps.autogineer.com for example, and you can point your own domain at it afterwards from the dashboard.
