For manga, I’ve found Mihon to be nicest, by far, and it supports the API. For books, I am currently “stuck” on koreader on Android (which “only” supports OPDS-PS). I do most of my reading on a reMarkable currently, and that has no supporting client. Writing one is on my to-do list, but it’s a bit daunting of a task…
I think I have set Suwayomi to download / convert to CZB, not for Kavita specifically, but because a lot of reader apps cannot handle loose images
Haven’t had any issues in that regard, so can’t really say, sorry. I have two folders (Mangas and ebooks) on my NAS, and in Kavita, created a library for each.
You absolutely can edit metadata, although I personally haven’t had the need yet. I use readarr and suwayomi for “obtaining” books and manga, respectively, and what they come up with is usually just fine.
I went through essentially the same thing a couple months ago. Tried Calibre (and Calibre server) since everyone recommended it.
Really disliked it. Calibre is great for converting ebooks, but has shit management and webserving capabilities.
I ended up with Kavita and am super happy. On the web client, both management and actual reading are a pleasure. Any phone/tablet client supporting OPDS works perfectly to read/download your manga/books from the server.
And a select few clients go a step further, supporting Kavita’s API, which allows for 2-way sync (effectively, syncing reading progress between all your devices).
Yeah but conduit is so stale, it might as well be discontinued
Huh, didn’t know. Thanks. I guess Hetzner is the right answer in both cases then 😄
Do you want all of that to be managed (DB, mailboxes, web-hosting,…) or just reliable hardware in “the cloud”?
For the latter, Hetzner.
I host about 30 services, so it has crossed my mind. But I like the instance I am on now. Also, since it would almost definitely be just me on there, it would be a colossal waste of time, effort, and resources.
Alright, thank you!
Hey, we’re also thinking about setting up authentik. Could you answer the following, where I haven’t found answers to yet: does introducing SSO impede logging into Jellyfin on a TV / phone app at all?
I have been listening to SO many audiobooks since getting Audiobookshelve ❤️
If you feel like everybody else is crazy… I got news for you Buddy!
Sorry to hear that that’s been your experience! :( My installation has been running for ~5 years without any problems
Yeah no worries - I discovered Prowlarr from that exact same comment years ago so jumped at the opportunity to post it here 😆
Real question is, why Jackett instead of Prowlarr? 😄
Hard to put my lips finger on the reason, though
Named mine after “objects” from Iain M. Banks’ Culture Novels.
Currently I have:
Nice and short, and map roughly to the “power level” of the hardware, so to speak.
And my Yubikeys are named after Special Circumstances agents 😄
If an employer wants to see your IQ, you probably do not want to work there regardless.
Just in case this post is real: the world does NOT hate you. Not you, not your people, not your country.
We wish you could achieve the freedom to experience the entire world.
