I've been experimenting a bit with wallabako and KOReader.

Wallabag is a bit of a pain to install but there is an experimental package for Synology NAS so I used that (I didn't check if it's a recent version but it does the job for now). There are also public servers, of course.

Since I'm always in KOReader, I don't need the tricks to update the Kobo database. I extracted the wallabag executable from the archive and copied it to /mnt/onboard.

I created a link to the CA file that already exist in KOReader with:

Code:

mkdir -p /etc/ssl/certs
ln -s /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/common/turbo/ca-certificates.crt /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

My config file with the server details is in /etc/wallabako.js but I might use the -config option to move it somewhere else.

I use this simple script to launch wallabako, /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/wb:

Code:

/mnt/onboard/wallabako -output "/mnt/onboard/Documents/Wallabag" -delete

Since there is no UI I run the script with the Terminal Emulator plugin, just typing:

Code:

ash wb

It does work pretty well. Sure, a koreader plugin with a UI to set it up and run it on demand would be nice.

But the thing really missing is the ability to delete documents from the server if they have been marked as Finished locally. That would require some work on wallabako itself though.
