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.

Dipping my toes in selfhosting lately, here is my ideal books setup:

  • Upload books/comics/audiobooks to my server via Calibre-Web which serves as the main organization hub for all books.

  • Have those files be recognized by Audiobookshelf and Komga (or Kavita)

Right now, Audiobookshelf works beautifully (as long as I don't check "store cover with book" which overwrites Calibres covers).

Komga/Kavita sort of work (in that I can see/read the files), but they won't organize into series even with properly configured ComicInfo.xml files. Is re-arranging the files manually (in a way that Calibre doesn't like) the only way for comics to be recognized as a series? Please tell me there's a workaround here I feel so close!

From what I remember I'm my time using Kavita, basically the only way it knows what anything is comes from the file structure. It's called out pretty explicitly in the docs for example.

Now it's been a year or so for me so maybe now there are options to define your own structure or pick from some but I don't remember any.
