jabol

Just A Bunch Of Links — a self-hostable, JSON-driven link directory.

What it is

jabol is a self-hostable link directory. You feed it a links.json, run a container, and get a fast page with categorized + searchable bookmarks. An optional admin UI lets you edit links from the browser and hide private links behind a sign-in.

Configure with JSON

Two equivalent shapes — categorized or flat. JSON Schema autocomplete in your editor via $schema. → links.json

Edit from the browser

Sign in to /admin to add links, manage tags, upload favicons, switch themes, and import/export links.json. → Admin overview

Deploy anywhere

docker run, Docker Compose, or Coolify. Everything persists in two named volumes. → Deploy

Built for LLMs

Docs are also published as /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt so AI tooling can ingest them in one shot.
