Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Neat, makes sense thank you. I skimmed through the article and it seems like a lot of the focus is on manga, which is fine but doesn’t tackle my ebook library.

Do you personally have any recommendations for good software I should look into? I do have a server running docker if that helps.

Calibre is what I would take a look at. There is a web version that has a couple of different setups. for docker this looks interesting:

Ive also used yunohost (mostly for ease of use and backups) here: https://apps.yunohost.org/app/calibreweb

Its basically the same thing either way.
