actual-server VS audiobookshelf

- https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server

I'd be curious what some other options are.

Regardless, this week's newsletter features a number of software updates and launches as usual, and also includes a self-hosted spotlight on Actual Budget, a self-hosted budgeting application.

Actual Budget (paid service stopped, open sourced, needs some technical knowledge)

ynab is the most popular one but I've recently moved to actual budget which might work if you're technically inclined.

If you're tech savvy then this is the closest and best I've found to YNAB: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server

Home Assistant and more recently Actual to know when I can buy more gadget for HA :)

For anyone who's game to run another service for audiobooks, I've found Audiobookshelf to be pretty good: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf

A spotlight on AudioBookshelf, an audiobook and podcast streaming server

The basics are same across most any container, you probably need to map some network ports, and map some storage paths, and then you are pretty good to go. There can be more than that, but those are kind of the minimums. For instance, the example compose file for audiobookshelf does just that, maps a port, and some storage and that's about it.

Move away as in find another audiobook vendor? Or simply retain access to your existing collection?

Audiobooks from Audible can be downloaded via the UI. They will have DRM, but it's possible to remove.

If you have audiobook files without DRM you can listen to them via any app that plays audio, but there's also at least one OSS project that aims to fill audiobook UI niche [1].

Using Audiobookshelf (https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf) and hosing my own podcast with an rss feed. It works just perfect in other podcast apps but in Pocket Casts, that used to work, I can't no longer see new episodes starting from about a week ago. I have never been able to stream the episodes either, just download and listen, this also works in iOS Podcaster app.
