Audiobook Hosting (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by hutchmcnugget to c/selfhosted
 

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!

Like everybody else here said...audiobookshelf is da bomb. I had an audible subscription for a while and found myself without the time to really listen to enough audiobooks to make it worthwhile so I cancelled. I know I could still access the audiobooks I purchased but I'm always concerned with these companies suddenly having a disagreement with a publisher and nuking a whole pile of media I paid for so I figured out how to download my purchased audiobooks locally to be listened to via audiobookshelf. Worked great.
