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.

As a few people have pointed out, Kavita is a solid one. I ultimately used it because it saves your spot in the book server-side instead of with the browser (like calibre-web) so you can pick up where you left off on different devices.

Also has a pretty good PWA for your phone if you want to read on there.

I wouldn't consider myself a power user on ebook servers by any means, but I spun up Kavita a few weeks back and it definitely handles everything I need it to so far. Feels better to use than calibre IMO too.
