The closest thing you can get that is opensource is https://www.wallabag.org/

But it needs more work to be useful to me. For instance, I don't always want to save the contents of the webpage, but just the link along with some notes or tags.

I use it now for almost 5 years and have more than 10 thousands bookmarks in it. If there is any interest, I will put it up on Github.

Thanks, I'd love to take a look at it!

Great, I'll brush it up this weekend and will put it on Github. Do you have an email? How can i let you know?

Cool. Putting a link up here will help.

You may try to install blog (like wordpress or similar) in your on server. With some plugins and themes functionality may be replicated almost 100%.

OwnCloud has a bookmarks app built in with a bookmarklet to save links, and it's all self hosted. I love it :)

Good tip! I didn't think of looking there.
