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.

With Readarr calling it quits, I'm looking for an alternative. More interested in audiobook functionality than ebook. I tried LazyLibrarian, and absolutely hated it.

There isn't really an agreed-on metadata system for ebooks, which is surprising to me, considering the ISBN system is well-established as a credible source.

Uploading ebooks to my CWA instance is a guaranteed metadata edit on each one.

I'll never understand why i can edit metadata on calibre, close out, upload it to calibre-web and it's a crap shoot on what, if any, metadata populates.
