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

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!

Audiobookshelf works great and is very easy to setup using Docker. I get most of my audiobooks through Downpour. They have a subscription that gives credits to redeem for audiobooks similar to Audible, but they are drm-free. I download the audiobooks and move them to my NAS that has Audiobookshelf running on it. Audiobookshelf has a web client and apps for Android and iOS (TestFlight beta).
