Is anyone selfhosting kavita? - eviltoast

I’m giving it a try after failing to set something simple for a book collection (mostly epub). Interested in knowing other people take on this tool.

    Yep, hosted via docker, for epub, mobi and pdf. Works great with the librera reader as well.

        I’ll say that I’ve run both Kavita and Calibre+Calibre-Web. I’ve stuck with running Calibreand Calibre Web together. Kavita was great but since I read on kindle and Kavita-email never worked for me I went back to Calibre. I also prefer calibre since it lets me convert files and change the cover images.

        Personally I had more issues getting kavita to work the way I wanted than I did with calibre.

        I don’t use ebook readers, just a tablet or my phone, so it was better for my use case.

        I have used both, personally I prefer kavita as it runs faster.

        However kavita needs to create user accounts as well as it is auto categorizing books and comics which personally I hate, especially for my cybersecurity books.
