Looking for Pocket Self Hosted option

I've been looking at options, Omnivore seems the most polished, but
their self hosted docs are beta.  Is this the best option for a Pocket
replacement?

Using Wallabag for a year or 2. It is acceptable.  But the mobile
experience is lacking compared to pocket or instapaper.  Setup for
extensions and mobile apps isn't difficult per se but seems more
complicated then it needs to be. The mobile apps haven't been updated
in a WHILE.

Seems like wallabag just needs a solid update or even a solid 3rd
party mobile app and it would check all the boxes but currently it
just an acceptable alternative.

I have been wanting to try omnivore but I'm waiting for a more
complete docker-compose setup to be made available.

It seems that [Omnivore still has some open issues regarding self
hosting](https://github.com/omnivore-
app/omnivore/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+self+host).

Yeah they say it’s not complete but most of the services are suppose
to work.

Since I did not find anything, I made this solution myself and am very
satisfied with it:

New content is transferred to my server via iOS Shortcut App and
converted into epubs there. I then read this epubs via e-book reader
app, which also allows access and above all the deletion of the read
files via WebDAV.

Converts websites, very robust into beautifully readable eBooks:

Certainly not the best e-book reader app out there, and also outdated,
but the only one I have found so far that allows a nice reading
experience **and** has the easy option to quickly delete read books
from the server:
