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.

Audiobookshelf also supports podcasts (and ebooks, but I haven't tested that).

Podcasts are my primary use case (my partner uses audiobooks exclusively), and while it works rather well, I want to put in the caveat that there's no working playlist functionality in the app, and IME headset controls don't work from FF for Android.

That's not a deal breaker for me, but it was a massive disappointment when I switched over. But the lack of playlist functionality in the app only annoys me when I want to follow one of the shorter news feeds, since I have to stop and select the next track every 5 min as the episode ends. No issue with that feed from the browser, so meh.

Works great through my reverse proxy/cloudflare tunnel setup, so not too many actual complaints.

Do you have any experience with the dedicated Audiobookshelf app?

[–] Jolteon 2 points 1 week ago

The Android app works well. I rarely have issues with it, except when switching back and forth between the web player and and the app, when it sometimes doesn't properly sync progress fast enough.
