Omnivore Alternatives? (leminal.space)

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?

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.

By curiosity, what are you trying to say ?

The directions specifically lead through using a docker host and an elastic search host, But there's certainly no reason you couldn't just do that on your own.

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.
