Audiobook Hosting (lemmy.world)

I want to get away from audible to save money and for privacy. I would like to keep buying audiobooks if possible and host them on my server to stream to my android phone.

I have an unraid plex server at home. Suggestions for hosting and streaming solutions?

Update: I ended up going with audiobookshelf. I love it so far and it does everything I need. More importantly (for me anyway) it's not reliant on a $17/mo audible subscription. Please reach out over DM if you find this post in the future and have trouble getting audiobookshelf to work on unraid!

Just wanted to kention that plex does not detect chaptee marks in m4b files and will not keep your progress if you switch to some other media.

Those are the 2 reasons I personally switched to Audiobookshelf. Which coincidentally is also a lot better at managing audiobook metadata since plex mostly treats audiobooks as music.
