  I really like that this exists, but I found the menus and UI to be rather non-intuitive. My main use case was to sync reading progress between my kobo and my iPhone. I was able to do this using KOReader on the Kobo & the Readest app on iPhone (also open source).

  Ultimately I decided to get rid of KOReader and wrote my own software to sync progress from Kobo to https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server which my Readest app also connects to.

  I googled it and it seems that koreader has a selfhostable server that can be used to sync reading positions across devices

  I used koreader years ago. I'll give it a try again. If I like it I'll download the server and check if I can make it work.

  You need a koreader-sync-server. I think the default public server works, but you can also host your own.

  I recently discovered the Koreader app. I also found the koreader-sync-server https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server, but it has not been updated for a very long time. I am just wondering if it is safe to use this container behind the nginx-proxy-manager?

  RE:device syncing, that is correct! KOReader does sync progress across devices. You can even self-host the sync server (GitHub).

  Its syncing functionality sends hashes to the sync server instead of filenames so it's better from a privacy perspective. You can also set up your own sync server if you wish.

• Sync uploaded EPUB book progress across Kobo readers?

  It may perhaps be possible if you install koreader on your kobo https://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2019/02/16/easily-install-koreader-and-plato-on-your-kobo-ereader-with-one-click/ and set up https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server so it would take some effort. You would of course need to use koreader on your phone as well which you can get from f-droid https://f-droid.org/
