I’m looking for a self-hosted alternative for Omnivore. To keep it short and sweet, I’m looking for an app that I can subscribe to RSS feeds from and maintain Reader Mode-esque archives of news articles and interesting things I’ve read. Obsidian integration would be nice but is not a priority; however, the ability to save from Android is a must.
Hoarder is something I’ve recently spun up on my home server but despite looking great, it doesn’t do what I’d like it to do. Clicking on an article doesn’t present me with a Reader Mode archive, it takes me to the actual webpage; I have to click on something else to get the cached version (and even then, it doesn’t format things in the way I’d like). I feel this order of operations should be reversed. On the mobile app, you can’t even access the cached version.
I’ve used Wallabag before, but disliked the mobile interface. I wasn’t self-hosting, however, so I’m not sure the difficulty level for it. Barring finding anything better, I’ll likely try and self-host Wallabag.
Shiori looks fantastic but I’d rather not resort to using Termux on my Android phone to share content. No mobile app makes it difficult.
Any suggestions?
SOLVED
Following numerous suggestions, I spun up a FreshRSS container and will be looking into both Shiori (which has a third-party mobile app) and Linkwarden. Thanks, everyone!

I agree with others that you need to break down these requirements into multiple apps. I use FreshRSS for feeds and it has a bunch of mobile app integrations.
And the most recent update of Linkwarden seems to have a ton of features that might be worth your while, including PDF, screenshot, and Readable caching.
I just spun up a FreshRSS container and it is working flawlessly for that purpose so far. I appreciate the suggestions.
Not sure if you were aware, you can run a minimal selfhosted Omnivore setup. Not sure if it will meet your needs or not
It’s hosted, but not self-hosted.
So the title of the blog post is incorrect? I didn’t look at it super closely so apologies if I’m incorrect
The “minimal” part is incorrect; it is a super complicated container. The number of moving parts don’t leave me with any confidence that I could keep it running or fix any issues going forwards.
Totally agree there, I’m only aware it exists because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of setting up/maintaining either.
I assume “minimal” refers more to the fact that it won’t have all Omnivore features rather than it being uncomplicated to set up
