Book streaming app that is open source, not Ubooquity or Calibre (or based on/requires it) AND can read books with text (and not pages of images)?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/selfhosted

  • datacurator-filetree

    a standard filetree for /r/datacurator [ and r/datahoarder ]

  • Why not Calibre? Because it forces its data structure on me. With Komga, my unique organizational style is not messed with at all. I follow a similar structure to Roboyoshi's and I'm kind of particular about it. I just point it at the folder that houses all my books and import, with no change to my file structure. I can't just point Calibre to my established lit folder; it requires an empty folder upon setup.

  • Kavita

    Kavita is a fast, feature rich, cross platform reading server. Built with the goal of being a full solution for all your reading needs. Setup your own server and share your reading collection with your friends and family.

  • Keep an eye on Kavita. I tried it a couple of months ago and it was still kinda raw. It is actively being developed and I believe it fits your needs.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
