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.

      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.
