Ubooquity Reviews and Details

Is Ubooquity good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0

  Maybe have a look at Kavita or Ubooquity (possibly Komga, but that's more for comics) https://www.kavitareader.com/ https://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/ https://komga.org/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Are there any iOS comic readers that let you "stream" cbz and cbr files?

  Another option might be Ubooquity – it’s simpler than Komga, but you can start it as a desktop application on your regular computer. Could be a good way to get your feet wet :). Source: over 2 years ago

• Selfhosted book library with app to read these books

  I use Ubooquity to host my books and KyBook 3 to read from the OPDS feed. Source: over 2 years ago

• Self Hosted Server For Multiple Types Media

  I Use httrack.com software to download my websites. I am aware of the following software: Ubooquity, TrueNas, Kavita, Plex, MediaMonkey, Jellyfin and MusicBrainzPicard. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Docker Calibre-Web alternative

  Ubooquity - Good for comics, manga, and ebooks. The interface is a little bit clunkier to manage but once it is setup it is stable. Source: almost 3 years ago

• eBook app?

  There's a calibre companion app that allows you to browse your calibre server and open ebooks with whatever app you want (i.e. books, or a pdf viewer). There's also Ubooquityfor a self-hosted purpose built option. I personally use Book Fusion (as a commercial product) to sync reading status across ipad, iphone, and web readers.

• Comic Book Reader

  Plex used to allow for plugins that would allow for this but that functionality has been neutered. Check out something like Ubooquity or Calibre or look for similar software with an OPDS server function. Source: over 3 years ago

• PC + NAS library

  Desktop (Ubuntu, but could be Windows) that has a ~555 GB comics directory (which is also shared via samba). I host the Ubooquity server on this device and point to the comics directory (could also be a network/shared drive and work equally well). My comics are all named and sorted according to the way that made the most sense for me when I set up the library (Comics>Publisher>Series>Comic 001 (2022).cbz). Ubuntu... Source: over 3 years ago

• Open Source Library (Books) Management Ideas

  If you just want to share book files with a community, I suggest Ubooquity. If you're looking for a GoodReads alternative I've found Eleventy. Hope these help. Source: over 3 years ago

• What are your favorite containers that arent the super common ones?

  Some of mine are Heimdall, Mealie, Ubooquity, photoprism, stash. Source: over 3 years ago

• Dismayed about the Comixology Amazon Transition

  Have you looked at Ubooquity or Calibre for hosting your book files? You could host them on your machine if you got the room. You could then use BackBlaze for Cloud storage. It's more of a object data store than a Cloud service - ie, it's just holding data, not trying to give you an awesome interface to view it like comiXology. It costs something like $0.005 USD per GB per month. So 1TB would be $5 a month USD.... Source: over 3 years ago

• E-readers are amazing!

  You do have to host all of those books on your computer using something like Calibre, ubooquity, or Kavita. Source: over 3 years ago

• My First Network Diagram

  Haha, it's something else entirely https://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/. They're referring to Komga being an Ubooquity replacement. Source: over 3 years ago

• I don't know how many thousands of e-books I have. Maybe tens of thousands. Maybe too many for the Dewey Decimal System. How do I organize them?

  For instance, I use Ubooquity (https://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/) to serve both comics and ebooks, but since I want to have three top-level options to choose from when someone enter the program, I need the non-fiction, the fiction and the comics to be folders on the same top level, and not down in the DDC hierarchy.

• Plex Alternative | Comic Book + Server/Unraid

  I was going to recommend Ubooquity, but on first glance Kavita looks like a more up-to-date and slick looking alternative, so I'm going to give that a try as well :-). Source: almost 4 years ago

• Looking for Self-hosted (preferably dockerized) "Library" Catalogue Software

  I use ubooquity deployed as a helm chart on K8S and quite happy with it https://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/. Source: almost 4 years ago

• After a long hunt to collect them all, reading the Epic issues in glorious, BOLD color, is immensely satisfying. I'd only seen the film until now and meeting the extra characters in the manga, like this crazy dude, Seer, only adds to the experience.

  I highly recommend setting up an ubooquity server on your home network and (with a little fuss), you can easily read these on a tablet or computer. Source: almost 4 years ago

• How to add magazines to server?

  It is a feature of Ubooquity and Calibre-web, though you may not want to expose those to the internet at large. Source: about 4 years ago

• Jellyfin - The Free Software Media System

  Thank you for the namedrop of ubooquity - It looks a bit more mature and easy to set up than calibre-web, which I've had trouble running. Source: about 4 years ago

• Best way to self host eBooks?

  I can recommend ubooquity as calibre alternative. Source: over 4 years ago

• Comic/book docker recommendations

  I recommend Ubooquity I believe that linuxserver.io has a docker container for it too. Source: over 4 years ago
