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.

I’ve tried this and get weird errors. I followed the instructions carefully (I think!), do you have to do anything special to get it to work?

I also use a Kobo with Calibre-web and it syncs fine. It's been about a year so I can't remember specifics. I remember modifying settings in my Kobo to point to my Calibre-web URL and in Calibre-web settings allow Kobo sync and then make a Kobo shelf. All the books in Kobo shelf are what it syncs too

Thanks, will try again. Maybe I just missed something …

Not really, I did have to install and setup kepubify and i always convert the epub files to kepub manually (from the Calibre-Web page) after I upload new books, so far I only had minor issues when removing books from Kobo and suffered a random reset of the reading hours stat.
