Self-hosted platform for bookmarks, posts, passwords, and photos
Keep and share web links, markdown posts, passwords, and pictures in one place. Everything can be private, public, or both—organized by tags with full-text search.
Shaark is a self-hosted content management platform that consolidates bookmarks, blog posts, passwords, and photo albums into a unified interface. Built with Laravel and Vue.js, it offers granular privacy controls—every item can be private, public, or shared temporarily—making it suitable for personal knowledge bases and team collaboration alike.
The platform includes link health-checks for bookmarks, markdown-flavored Stories for long-form content, encrypted Chests for password storage, and Albums for image hosting. A tagging system, wall views, and all-in-one search help you navigate content efficiently. Shaark supports PDF and media archiving, RSS feeds, and ships as a Progressive Web App with a browser extension for rapid sharing.
Designed for production use, Shaark offers database encryption, two-factor authentication, multi-user support, and automated backup capabilities. The interface supports theming (including dark mode) and ships with internationalization for English, French, German, Japanese, and Dutch. Self-hosting gives you complete control over your data while maintaining the flexibility to share selectively.
When teams consider Shaark, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Personal Knowledge Base
Consolidate research bookmarks, draft blog posts, and reference photos in one searchable, tagged repository with private-by-default settings.
Team Resource Library
Share curated links and documentation with colleagues while keeping sensitive credentials encrypted in private Chests accessible only to authorized users.
Content Curation & Blogging
Collect bookmarks with automatic health-checks, draft markdown Stories, and publish selected content via RSS feeds or public walls.
Secure Password Vault
Store encrypted passwords with 2FA protection and database encryption, eliminating reliance on third-party password managers.
Shaark requires a PHP environment capable of running Laravel applications, along with a database (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite). Detailed installation instructions are provided in the documentation.
Shaark is inspired by Shaarli and designed as a modern alternative. While direct migration tools are not explicitly documented, the similar data model should facilitate manual or scripted imports.
Each piece of content can be marked private (visible only to you), public (visible to anyone), or shared via temporary links. You can also configure the entire instance as fully private.
Shaark can archive web pages as PDFs and save media content locally. This requires additional configuration as documented in the Archiving guide.
Yes, Shaark functions as a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing installation on mobile devices for app-like experience without native mobile applications.
