Good fit for Pocket diehards who want a pixel-close replacement — same save flow, browser extension, mobile apps, reader view.
Weak at Recommendation/discovery feed — Wallabag is queue-only; if you used Pocket's Discover, that's gone.

Replaces these SaaS
- Pocket · Read-it-later / web article archive
Pull `wallabag/wallabag:latest` from Docker Hub and run with the official compose file. Wallabag has a first-class Pocket importer: Import → Pocket → enter your Pocket consumer key (one-time auth flow). All saved URLs, tags, and read/unread state transfer; Wallabag re-fetches the article body on import. Install the browser extension and the official Android/iOS apps to replicate the save-from-anywhere flow.
