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.

Personally, I found Kavita and Grimmory far too complex for my use and also very resources hungry. At the end CWA is just perfect for me. Still have to configure my kobo e-reader to use it directly and this will for sure be a game changer from my current solution which consist in converting epub to kepub with kepubify and then put it on a local webserver that I open through kobo web browser.

Update: Kobo sync configured and it's just awesome, just adding book to a shelf and sync the reader as usual and hop, everything downloads and progress updated in cwa.
