A lightweight, privacy-first bookmark manager with a clean, fast UI — self-hosted on Railway.
Faved is a lightweight, SQLite-backed bookmark manager that runs on a single Railway service with one persistent volume — no external database, no complex setup. Deploy in under two minutes, and your bookmarks survive restarts and redeploys.
- Minimal, distraction-free bookmark management
- Tag-based organization and quick search
- Privacy-first — no telemetry, no tracking
- Self-hosted with persistent storage
- Automatic HTTPS via Railway
- Health monitoring via Railway proxy
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
PORT |
HTTP listen port | 80 |
/var/www/html/storage— Persistent bookmark and tag data (SQLite database + bookmark images)
Note: Railway allows one volume per service; sessions use ephemeral /tmp and are reset on redeploy (bookmark data is unaffected).
