Servas is a self-hosted bookmark management tool. It is based on Laravel and Inertia.js and uses Tailwind CSS and Svelte for the frontend. Servas allows you to categorize your bookmarks by groups and tags. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Servas on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
