A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Am using Calibre and audiobookshelf. I'd love a solution where I can search the actual contents of the books. Like being able to search for topics inside all of my books.

Would be a cool AI feature - similar to how immich works.

Does anyone have a solution for that?

I had the same idea a while back and was wondering why no one has implemented something like this yet. This seems like an actual useful application for LLMs.

I am using Zotero (Citation Management Software) to collect scientific Articles I have read. Sometimes I forget in which Article I read about something specific. A search, where you could describe what you are looking for in a sentence, which then returns the Article with the relevant part, would be a gamechanger.

Yeah, exactly that

What you are looking for is a RAG and is one of the few legitimately useful implementations of LLMs outside the wall of hype.

I've had the idea for a while to use an LLM to gather metadata about books for me as well as generate tag lists for themes, plot, writing style, etc for everything in my ebook library. You could also generate non spoiler plot summaries and produce recommendations for similar books.
