looking for self-hosted "readability" service.

Like instapaper or Firefox's readability function. Something I can pitch a url too and get back a stripped down version of the article with a shareable URL. No idea if this exists.

Have you seen Wallabag? Used it for years, never figured out how to install it easily.

Recently moved on to Shiori, it’s been smooth sailing.

I like how easy Shiori is to install and the UI is much more responsive than Wallabag (could be a config/install issue) but it does have some annoyances too:

No mobile app (I think there is an abandoned third party client though)
Session expires frequently in the Firefox extension, requiring frequently going into extension settings
No koreader support for e-readers etc

But it is actively developed and it's the most promising alternative to Wallabag in my view.

I use Wallabag. It was easy enough to spin up in docker.

Edit: I changed the link to the github because I noticed that the main url for the service doesn't mention that you can self-host it. Sorry about that.
