That sounds awesome. I looked at doing that. I also have a kobo and use calibre. Tbh I wasn't totally sure how to connect calibre web and didnt want to wreck anything so I left it alone but the idea of wireless syncing is really attractive.

I just run a wee truenas and I know enough to get by but that's about it haha

Do we have you to thank for this Lemmy instance?

I keep things running, yeah, but there are plenty of people to thank. Everyone helps where they can 🙂

I have heard of seerr. I need to move over to it.

There was this tool called Overseerr, made for Plex, that was for searching for and finding media to feed into the *arr stack, or just a user-friendly place people who used your Plex instance could request media.

From that came Jellyseerr, which was the same sort of thing but for Jellyfin.

Very recently the two teams have banded together to work on a single product, Seerr, which connects to Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby. So my upgrade was from Jellyseerr to Seerr, which was very straightforward. It doesn't replace any of the rest of the *arr stack, but it's a nice addition where people can search any media then send requests and they can be fed straight to Sonarr or Radarr.

I also have a kobo and use calibre. Tbh I wasn’t totally sure how to connect calibre web and didnt want to wreck anything so I left it alone but the idea of wireless syncing is really attractive.

I think this is the tutorial I followed: https://jccpalmer.com/posts/setting-up-kobo-sync-with-calibre-web/

It was pretty straightforward. If you already have Calibre Web set up, you basically just need to enable Kobo Sync in the settings and copy the URL it gives you into a config file that sits on your Kobo. Just make a copy of the file (which you can leave on the Kobo) before you change anything in case you screw it up. But it was honestly super easy, like Kobo wanted it to be easy.

Books on Calibre Web then show up like purchases on your Kobo, and you can download them from there.

We all started somewhere! It took me years to be confident enough to self host anything important.
