Karakeep

Karakeep: Self-hosted bookmarking and read-it-later app with AI-assisted tagging (Hoarder successor). Save links and find them instantly.

Deploy from this page: TryDirect provisions the server, starts the services, generates the deployment credentials and wires the 3 containers together. Nothing is shared between deployments and no secrets ship with the stack.

What's included

Service	Port	Description
app	3000 (public)	ghcr.io/karakeep-app/karakeep:latest
postgres	5432 (local only)	Database
meilisearch	7700 (local only)	Search

What you configure

• Domain (commonDomain): the hostname the stack is served on
• Defaults provided: POSTGRES_DB, POSTGRES_USER ship prefilled and can be adjusted in the deploy form

All 5 credentials (passwords and keys) are generated per deployment and stored in your project's secret store.

Requirements

• A cloud account connected to TryDirect (the deploy form provisions

the server) or one of your own servers

• A server that fits 3 containers (2 GB RAM or more recommended)
• A DNS record for the domain you set in the deploy form

Alternative: deploy with the Stacker CLI

Everything above also works from the command line:

git clone https://github.com/trydirect/awesome-selfhosted-stacker.git
cd awesome-selfhosted-stacker/stacker-projects/karakeep
