Does anyone know of a self hosting option for hosting ebooks? I keep hoping there is an open source library type app where I could add my ebooks and host them for myself and others.

    Calibre is great but it’s not a server based program, it’s just a desktop client. There is Calibre-web which you can host which kinda turns it into a server but it does that by exposing a website you connect to that shows you the Calibre interface via VNC, so it’s a bit hackey.

    I haven’t tried it but https://www.kavitareader.com/ might be a good alternative if you end up not liking Calibre.

      Labors reader looks really great. Just wish it had an iOS/android app. I’ll definitely keep it in mind.
