Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Yep! for a while I deployed Calibre-Web alongside Calibre in a 'books' compose.yaml stack using Docker. I used volume mounts to expose my library to both containers. The main thing to be cautious of is that you don't write to the db from both C and CW at the same time (which could result in corruption). Some folks spin up/down Calibre as-needed, but I had them both running and was just mindful. I personally ended up switching from C+CW to Calibre-Web Automated and fully removing Calibre. I'm able to do everything from CWA that I was doing in both previously. FWIW if you are managing devices (e.g., family, etc.), Kobo devices + Kobo sync via CW/CWA is wonderful for usability (books show up on devices 'natively').
