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:

  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.

Are any of you hosting their own E-Books? If so which Software are you using and is it compatible with the E-Reader of your choice (if you use one)?

I don't have an E-Books nor do I have an E-Reader, but I'm considering to dig deeper into the business and wanted to hear your stories.

Yes, many people host their own e-books using platforms like Calibre, Sigil, or Pressbooks, which allow for easy formatting and distribution. Calibre, for example, is highly compatible with most e-readers, making it a popular choice. If you're just starting, you might also explore websites that let you download free softwares for e-book management, giving you the flexibility to test different formats before committing to a specific tool.
