Espial

Espial is an open-source, web-based bookmarking server.

It allows mutiple accounts, but currently intended for self-host scenarios.

The bookmarks are stored in a sqlite3 database, for ease of deployment & maintenence.

The easist way for logged-in users to add bookmarks, is with the "bookmarklet", found on the Settings page.

Also, see the android app for adding bookmarks via an Android Share intent https://github.com/jonschoning/espial-share-android

Docker Setup

see https://github.com/jonschoning/espial-docker

Server Setup (from source)

  1. Install the Stack executable here:

  2. Build executables

    stack build
    
  3. Create the database

    stack exec migration -- createdb --conn espial.sqlite3
    
  4. Create a user

    stack exec migration -- createuser --conn espial.sqlite3 --userName myusername --userPassword myuserpassword
    
  5. Import a pinboard bookmark file for a user (optional)

    stack exec migration -- importbookmarks --conn espial.sqlite3 --userName myusername --bookmarkFile sample-bookmarks.json
    
  6. Import a firefox bookmark file for a user (optional)

    stack exec migration -- importfirefoxbookmarks --conn espial.sqlite3 --userName myusername --bookmarkFile firefox-bookmarks.json
    
  7. Start a production server:

    stack exec espial
    

Configuration

See config/settings.yml for changing default run-time parameters & environment variables.

  • config/settings.yml is embedded into the app executable when compiled, so after changing config/settings.yml, run stack build again to apply the new settings.
  • config/settings.yml values formatted like _env:ENV_VAR_NAME:default_value can be overridden by the specified environment variable.
  • Example
    • _env:PORT:3000
      • environment variable PORT
      • default app http port: 3000

SSL: use reverse proxy

Development

Backend

  • Install the yesod command line tool: stack install yesod-bin --install-ghc

  • Start a development server:

    yesod devel
    

Frontend

  • See purs/ folder

Import Bookmark file format (pinboard compatible format)
