#ebook and #selfhosting people, I'm looking to refresh my personal book library software and could do with some advice.
I'm currently using Calibre desktop, saving my library to GoogleDrive, and syncing that folder to my server that's running Ubooquity. Ubooquity uses the native Calibre folder/database, but serves the library (and some comics in another folder) via OPDS to the KyBook3 software on my iPad.
KyBook is now unmaintained, and Ubooquity isn't far off, so I think I need alternatives.
My principle requirements are that the #ebook server be self-hosted, securely accessible over the Internet (or via Tailscale), and able to be searched and serve content to an iOS app (my primary content consumption devices).
I do not want to switch to Android, I do not want to pay a subscription. I am happy to pay a one-off cost for a good iOS client if necessary.
@WiteWulf I use Booklore, which syncs beautifully with my Kobo.
However, I just went to find a link to it for you, and discovered that, due to coming under loads of pressure for essentially vibe coding it, the dev shitcanned the whole thing last week.
Bugger.
@DJDarren @WiteWulf White knight time...
Booklore was forked before it was shit-canned, and has come back a Grimmory: https://github.com/grimmory-tools/grimmory
I've been following their development (I was building an Android client for Booklore), and they release 2.3.0 which you can update to by simply changing you docker image line to:
image: grimmory/grimmory:latest
@bodger Well bugger me, that's impressive. Literally just changed that one line in docker-compose, and now I'm running Grimmory. Fair play to that.
Did it all from my sofa too, because I'm now the master of SSH and SFTP.
