The design of Pinboard exists in a similar but self hosted service called linkding [1]. I've been self hosting with Docker for a few years with no issues I can recall. Just checked and it does have the responsive forms as well.

Thank you! Linkding has everything I wanted from Pinboard (a bit nicer interface :)). I just set it up, imported everything from Pinboard, and will probably be happy.
Cool! Is there a straightforward way to import your Pinboard?
Pinboard: Settings -> Backup -> "HTML (legacy Netscape format almost everyone can read)"

Linkding: Settings -> General -> Import "Import bookmarks and tags in the Netscape HTML format. This will execute a sync where new bookmarks are added and existing ones are updated."

The stuff in quotes is verbatim from the admin panels, I have not tried it.

Yes, if you count the export from Pinboard to Bookmark.html and then import to Linkding for once.

One weird thing though is, that Linkding does not have marking a bookmark "read" on first click: This is the most useful feature on Pinboard for me.

Via the pinboard-bookmarklet I pile all the links I come across, then mass read them and can track what's been read because the first click marks them on Pinboard.

Not the one you replied to, but I can check later if I don't forget, but I happily switched to linkding (without importing) and I don't miss anything.
Oh, wow, I just installed it on my server, and it's great (づ ◕‿◕ )づ
Ooh it's on Pikapods, too! I'll give it a try. :)
